A bust (?) of Aimée DESCLEE (division 70) is missing and so is a medallion of Henri FERNOUX (division 52). The Conversation at Pere Lachaise is looking for a photo of Fernoux so if by any chance you have a copy by all means send it along.
In Montmartre the bust of Edgard POUGET (division 5) is missing (photo below)

So far, from what I have seen and heard, it appears that artwork has been taken from at least three cemeteries so far: Montmartre, Montparnasse and Pere Lachaise.
The police are apparently involved now, at the request of the mayor of Paris, and one can only hope that the stolen items are recovered soon.
