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.
Two 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 the largest private property theft in the history of the world!
The thieves removed 13 paintings, including priceless works from Rembrandt van Rijn & Johannes Vermeer, from the museum’s walls.
On their way out, they stopped to grab a Chinese bronze vessel – from the Shang dynasty! The actual police didn’t arrive until after 8:00am, the next morning.
As such, in just over an hour, $500 million worth of art was stolen – and some 30+ years later, every piece remains missing.
