Imagine going through the trouble of setting up a heist involving 30+ people, stealing art worth over $30million, sitting on it for 5 years while it all goes tits up because someone used their actual phone number, then finally finding a buyer, then selling it for less than Toyota.

    When the Mona Lisa was stolen, the guy just walked up to it and took it off the wall and hid it under a jacket. He tried to exit out of a side door but it was locked.
    By then an employee came by and saw a guy in a trench coat holding a framed painting trying to get out.
    The guard unlocked the door for him and let him out.
    Nobody noticed the Mona Lisa was stolen for something like 2 or 3 days, when an artist who wanted to paint a copy complained, and a bored guard went searching. Only then they realized it's gone.

    Something similar happened recently.
    A bank was clearing all it's valuables and hauling it to an offshore bank. Every employee, and guard left the bank but kept the security systems up and the front of the bank was locked down tighter than the Seirre Madre of absolute pain. Someone that following night broke into the bank quite easily: for you see while they locked down the main entrance, there was a maintenance tunnel connecting the garage to the rest of the bank. Person broke in via the now unguarded maintenance tunnel and into the bank armed to the teeth...
    he...
    was pissed...
    Why was he pissed? He thought there would be valuables there. So he did something radicicolous and sundance reject worthy. He shot out every possible window, bashed open every ventilation cover with a baseball bat, smashed the keypads on the vaults, broke every window, shot out every TV, cut cable lines, broke the hinges off every door, bashed executives worthless yet pretty paintings off their walls: anything he could access he destroyed, and to end it? He shot all the cameras watching him until that point.
    The next day the bank agents came back to see the place in tatters, the bank had to get $5.7M spent to fix or replace everything. Guess where this all took place?

      There's a famous German rapper who with associates stole an armored gold transporter with a worth of about 2 million dollars. Interpol arrested his ass in Irak, after he posted on his social media that "it's pretty damn cold in russia", trying his luck with a very clumsy decoy attempt. In his case, Nord VPN probably would've actually saved him.

    Morals of this story:
    The hard part is not to do the sting - it's to get away with it.
    And
    Always confirm that the suspect has the goods before busting them - otherwise you might just get a bag full of laundry.

      Also 200.000 for 4 people after 5 years (even after a couple got already into jail) + a shit load of time and effort trying to sell it.... they could have just worked a job making 10.000 bucks a year and would have come ahead. Prbly. with less time put into it, lol

      @@GelberStuhl It's not 200,000$ it was 200,000 Swedish Krona, which at the time was more like 28,000$. To be fair, the painting by that point was more of a liability than an asset. They did not know how to get into contact with buyers, and the police were hot on their tail, arresting everyone involved. At that point it would be worth it just to pay someone to take it. Supply was low but demand was low too.

      I mean, if the job is well done and painting location is not traceable then they're probably forever "safe" in the hands of the rich buyer. There are hundreds of thousands of mansions out there with millions upon millions of replicas of famous paintings, you'd have to have REALLY strong suspicions to assume a painting you saw at a rich dude's house is the stolen deal. And even then, how would you know it is?

    • @Reni3r

      You just need to find a rich person with no morals who's into art in a country that basically gives no fuck about interpol (since most paintings are from european artists) and helps you smuggle it out of the country you stole it from. SA or China comes to mind. Just imagine Kashogi sitting in his villa surrounded by stolen things, who's gonna sue him?
