The three valuable items stolen from Auckland University last Christmas are in good condition despite their 10 month absence.
The Goldie painting, Colin McCahon poems and Oxford bible were returned after police arranged for minor charges to be dropped against a man who negotiated their return.
The university says the bible suffered some damage and will be repaired before being put back on display.
The university has boosted security for all its significant art works and other valuable items since the theft.
