The print is number 187 out of 215 and is signed by Warhol.

Orange Coast College officials are seeking the return of an Andy Warhol print of Mao Zedong that has gone missing. 'If someone has it and returns it we won't ask a whole lot of questions,' said Doug Bennett, the executive director of the OCC Foundation. 'If it shows up on the doorstep of the police station, that's fine.

The college performed a round of 'internal inquiries' to determine if someone moved it or if something else had happened, Bennett said. Nothing was found however, and the foundation reported the missing print to police on March 20. Bennett said that the print was locked inside of a vault that only some people had a key card for. 'I'm the executive director of the foundation and I don't have a key card to the vault, or saw a reason to have one,' he said.
