» more Leonardo DiCaprio's picture was autographed by Nelson Mandela himself but its now missing
Leonardo DiCaprio has declared war on the thief who allegedly stole his very special picture with the late South African president and human right activist Nelson Mandela!
The Wolf of Wall Street actor says he took a pic with Mandela when he was shooting "Blood Diamond" in South Africa and political legend autographed the pic for Leo with the inscription, "To Leo DiCaprio, Best Wishes, Mandela, 4-8-07." Aww, how special!
Sadly, for some reason, the autographed picture never got to Leo. Now sources connected with the actor claim he believes it was stolen.
Before Leo could dial 911, the prized photo eventually landed into the hands of a company called Moments in Time, which is now selling it with an asking price of $25,000!!! Damn!
Leo wants the photo back and according to the NY Post he sicked his lawyer on the company. But Moments in Time is telling Leo to pound sand, claiming they rightly own the photo.
In case you care, there's this thing in the law of America called "bona fide purchaser," meaning if someone buys property not knowing it was ill-gotten, they're generally the rightful owner nonetheless.
Last we checked, that law doesn't hold in the black market and in Africa! Here if you buy a stolen good, you could be locked up as the thief! So, should Leonardo just buy the photo back or take that company to court for stealing his most precious Mandela pic?
