www.imdb.com/title/tt14223858/On Netflix This is a Robbery: The World’s Greatest Art Heist March 18, 1990, 13 works of art were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. Guards admitted two men posing as police officers responding to a disturbance call, and the thieves tied the guards up and looted the museum. www.gardnermuseum.org/about/theftFascinating!! A 4-part series. I remember when this happened, but I never followed the story and didn’t realize these masterpieces have never been found. The mob was involved, almost everyone is dead now, one guy remains but he’s not talking. Very sad that these may never be found.

The smart money is on the IRA being the recipient of the paintings as that's how they were raising money back in the day and Whitey (Irish himself) had relations with them. I followed this back in the day and learned 2 very important lessons. 1) If you ever step forward with information that qualifies for a bounty payment, don't do it. You will be thought to be part of the crime and live to regret your life being destroyed by law enforcement. The bounty is never awarded. 2) If you ever come across the stolen item in question leave it in a church confessional and get away as fast as you can.
