HEIST OF ALL HEISTS ($100,000 – $130,000+)

A little past midnight on March 18, 1990, two ‘policemen’ pounded on the doors of the Gardner Museum, in Boston. They demanded entry, claiming they were following up on a noise complaint. The two on-duty security guards buzzed them into the building, and both were immediately ‘arrested’. They were ushered to the basement of the museum where the ‘policemen’ proceeded to duct-tape them and explain their true intentions – to commit what would become the largest private property theft in the history of the world! The thieves proceeded to remove 13 paintings (including priceless works from Rembrandt van Rijn & Johannes Vermeer) from the museum’s walls. On their way out, they even stopped to grab a Chinese bronze vessel, from the Shang dynasty! The actual police didn’t arrive until 8:15am, the next morning! So, in just over an hour, $500 million worth of art was stolen – and some 32 years later, every piece remains missing. What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role? Not much, really.
