So you’re telling me an entire museum with a billion dollars worth of art was being protected by two relatively inexperienced security guards...

They can afford to make a movie out of this

Mr Ballen talked about this story 4 days ago. First time I ever heard about this case

I have been there and it is quite weird to see the empty frames. It is almost haunting.

Many people will panic to find a charger before their phone dies, but won't panic to find a plan before their dream dies.

They probably were given a list of specific stuff to steal. The buyer was definitely set up beforehand.

Learned about this heist through Buzzfeed Unsolved and I am glad I watched that video 😂

One of my most favorite yt channels for years. Congrats on 10 mil! Can’t wait for that plaque. Loves

Anyone who listens to former jewel thief Larry Lawton' s channel knew these guys were amatures LONG before the narrator said it. High end art like this is IMPOSSIBLE to fence. Its too distinctive. I wouldnt be surprised if they ended up throwing the stuff in a dumpster.

Thanks for getting right into it! No time wasted on intros.

Stunning that artwork so valuable was secured so "Extremely Poorly"

Great context 🔥🚀..But I think someone has to hear this, the amount of time we spend believing we can't is more than enough to learn how we can make them reality

[brokenbridge]

Heard of this art heist. As I see it the truth won't come to light until the Mastermind of this robbery finally kicks the bucket. Because I think whoever they are is still alive.

[RB-tseg]

Why wouldn’t they take the time to research the most valuable paintings before robbing the museum though lol

[twocvbloke]

Amazing what value people put into pictures, resulting in thefts like that... :P

[akpofure]

If they had taken all of the valuable or most valuable stuff, I'm sure they would have been caught as that would generate too much attention

[anubhavpal]

Take notes. Try to get it finished or laminated on wood. That makes it heavy. Thieves wont go for it.
