Pardon me...?

Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Marcus Sanford Patmon, 45, of Miami, was arrested outside a Starbucks in Arlington, Virginia, after a police license plate reader indicated that his parked vehicle had been reported as stolen.

A police spokeswoman, told NBC Washington that Patmon "wanted to meet with Eric Holder" because "he was looking to be pardoned by the Obama administration before the Trump administration came in."    

According to the FBI, Patmon pleaded guilty in 2009 to attempted wire fraud and interstate transportation of stolen property for trafficking in two stolen Pablo Picasso etchings and a stolen Marc Chagall lithograph  together worth well more than a half-million dollars.

California art dealer, to whom Patmon tried to sell the Picassos, smelled something fishy and contacted authorities, and the FBI soon had an undercover agent on the case.

When authorities searched Patmon's Miami home, they found one of the Picassos, a 1957 etching of a woman reading a book called "Jacqueline Lisant," hidden behind the sofa. Patmon later confessed, according to an FBI affidavit. He served 2 years.

One problem (besides the stolen car): Eric Holder is no longer the attorney general.
