The burglary took place sometime between 6:15 p.m.

Monday, when the gallery closed, and 10:30 p.m. Monday, when a burglar alarm went off, said police Lt. John Kelly. Some the paintings dated to the 14th century.

SANTA ANA, Calif.

(AP) Three of the state's largest auto insurance companies plan to raise their premiums as much as 15.6 pcrcent to cover heavy losses in the October stock market dive, The Orange County Register reported Wednesday. The three arc State Farm, the California State Automobile Association, and the Automobile Club of Southern California, which lost millions in market investments. The California State Automobile Association in Northern California is expected to raise its rates an average of 15.6 percent next month. Farmers Group also will be forced to raise premiums, unless stock prices improve, a Farmers spokesman said. Automobile insurance companies keep up to 65 percent of their surplus funds in stocks, said Ed Matthews, vice president of corporate relations at Los Angeles-based Farmers.

The insurers must keep money in cash or stocks that can be traded on a daily basis in order to have cash available to pay claims. In October "auto insurers did not have as many bonds as (they had) stock, so they got creamed," said Robert Black, executive vice president of institutional research at the securities research firm, Legg, Mason, Wood, Walker. Hardest hit by the losses is the Los-Angeles based AAA, which had a 5 percent increase in July and another 12.5 percent last month. It also has dropped some drivers with poor records, said Larry Baker, an auto club vice president. The Auto Club is expected to layoff an undisclosed number of its 5,800 employees, Baker said.

The measures stem from an S102 million underwriting loss suffered last year by the Interinsurance Exchange, which provides the insurance the Auto Club sells. The loss, which results when premiums collected do not cover claims, was three times that projected. The Exchange then lost another $20 million in the stock market plunge. "They're expecting consumers to pick that up," said Carmen Gonzalez, information director with Access to Justice, a consumer group trying to place an insurance initiative on the November ballot which would require the state to take a rolc in rate regulation. Statistics show Californians are paying higher auto insurance premiums than the national average, and their rates are rising faster.

Between 1982 and 1986, California's average premium increased 58.6 percent to $568.20. Ms. Lowenthal said Tuesday she could not recall any recent art theft that approached the Colnaghi heist in dollar terms. The works taken included those by Fra Angelico, Lodovico CarracPacino Da Bonaguida, Paolo Catamara, Gasper Dughet, JeanBaptiste-Simeon Chardin, Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, Nicola Van Houbraken and Willem Kalf, said a police source who spoke on condition of anonymity. The titles of the works were not disclosed.

The world's biggest art theft was a 1974 heist at the home in Ireland of Sir Alfred and Lady Beit, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. A Vermeer that was taken was worth $6.9 million and the total was $19.2 million. York state. The coastal Carolinas had a little rain.
