You know what I don’t have an intro because I forgot to make one so greatest Heist Iceberg has been a long time coming for me so yeah let’s just go into it an unidentified man mostly known by the name Deb Cooper had hijacked the Boeing 727 aircraft on November 24th

1971 Cooper had told the flight attendant that he was armed with a bomb demanded $200,000 and requested four parachutes then he made the jump and made it into multiple watch Mojo top 10’s videos a sketch and multiple suspects have come up but no one has ever been identified

And the story of DB Cooper can usually be summed up in about four sentences so yeah on March 18 1990 13 works of art got stolen from the Isabella Garden Museum in Boston guards had spotted two men posing as police officers that responded to a disturbance called then

These guys were actually thieves and they tied up the guards that were actually there then they robbed the museum over the next hour they had stolen less valuable art pieces which confused investigators but the FBI is under the absum that this was done by a criminal organization although physical

Evidence for this is not strong and to this day empty frames remain at the Museum in hopes that these works of art are actually returned the biggest suspect for this was the Boston Mafia but no one has ever been convicted of this one of the many heists in this

Iceberg that’s been the The Heist of the century is the antor diamonds Heist taking place in an for Belgium on February 15 to 16 2003 a gang of Thieves known as the school of Turin led by nardoo there we go that’s a hard name to pronounce they had pulled off the

Biggest diamond Heist of all time and has been labeled as one of the largest robberies in history right jewelry silver gold and obviously diamonds were all stolen that were worth that were worth more than 100 million I believe they got passed through 10 layers of security including bypassing cameras a

Key lock magnetic heat and motion sensors and a steel gate most importantly all while using aluminum to disrupt the magnetic field so they wouldn’t get caught doing this they then stole everything within a matter of 2 hours put everything into a couple of cars and then sped away a man named

Petro tavano also known as speed developed a a sense of I probably made a mistake syndrome and made his friend notar B stop the car and began throwing the evidence Into the Woods After suffering a panic attack after committing the crime dude quite literally developed the conscience within like 5 minutes they didn’t

Realized they were on private property when they did this and when they tried to recover what was thrown out they didn’t get everything and the property owner August Van Camp called the police they had found videotape film a half eaten sandwich and a dozen small diamonds along with a receipt for the

Video surveillance systems this was all enough to link the crime back to Noto and he got 10 years in prison while the rest Got 5 years and Noto claims that they only took 20 million and authorities claimed that 100 million is still Missing on September 12th 1997 the biggest theft of cash money was committed a man named Alan Pace was The Mastermind behind all of it recruiting five of his friends as well pace had worked at Dunbar and armored car Depot in Los Angeles as a regional safety inspector and you ready for this dude

Got fired for undisclosed reasons the day before the heist took place this entire thing was planned out at a house party in [ __ ] Long Beach California I know you’re watching imagine going to school in Long Beach kind of cringe just after midnight on September 13 they they

Went to the depot with Pace’s knowledge that the Vault was left open due to massive amounts of money being scheduled to be moved the way they pulled this off was that they were coming in wearing masks and black clothing they ambushed the security guards while they were on

Their lunch break so no one could actually sound the alarms this was actually kind of smart Pace still having the keys allowed him to enter in 30 minutes $18.9 million were actually unloaded into a parked U-Haul Van this was immediately thought to be an inside job and Pace was started to be closely

Monitored by the police even though they found nothing on him Eugene Lamar Hill one of the crew members of The Heist [ __ ] everything up for everyone he’ll expose the entire thing when he gave a real estate broker a stack of cash with the original straps the broker then went

To the police and Hill was arrested then confessed and named the entire crew Pace himself was sentenced to 24 years in prison and most of the money has never been recovered on December 11 1978 at the John F Kennedy International Airport a group of mobsters pulled off What’s

Called the Luft hanza Heist at 3:12 a.m. a van went to the delivery entrance at the Lanza Airlines terminal and several Mass men exited the van all strapped with that thing on them and they entered the terminal 64 minutes later they loaded their van with 5 million in

Untraceable cash and another 1 million in jewels and got away thanks to the mafia this Heist was able to be pulled off Jimmy Burke an associate of the Lis family I believe it’s luchis family who were one of the top five families of New York’s Mafia he was The Mastermind

Behind all of this and honestly [ __ ] me that was a lot to say in like that quick sentence right there [ __ ] a bookmaker named Martin Krugman provided the info to Burke’s associate Henry Hill that a vault in Lu hanza Airlines terminal was used for money exchange Krugman got the

Info from Louis Warner a worker from the airport who one owed money to Krugman and two one stole 22,000 From the Vault himself Burke Krugman and Warner planned everything such as time and parking location when the heists went down Luth hanza employees were held hostage threatened and forced to cooperate when

Everything was finished the employees were not allowed to alert authorities for 15 minutes allowing for the crew enough time to escape and honestly I’d love to talk about this entire thing but I need room for the other heists on this Iceberg the Banos C burgy at fortalesa

Seara Brazil in August 6 2005 was one of the world’s largest heists burglar managed to Tunnel their way into the Vault of Brazil’s Central Bank who handles and issues all of Brazil’s money and took 70 million he I believe that’s how it’s pronounced that’s Brazil’s currency despite the usual security

Measures the burglars were able to get through the actual Heist started with a plan to rent property very close to the bank and posed as a landscaping company this they managed to dig a tunnel over 3 months and ended up with a 256t tunnel that ran beneath the streets and emerg

Right under the Vault Itself by the time the tunnel was finished though it was large enough for a person to completely walk through this entire thing just like your mama says during the actual stealing they stole around 3.5 tons of Brazilian currency like just tons that’s

Not even like how much it’s worth just how much that weighs the money was transported from a tunnel into a van this happened during the weekend so once Monday came the employees just came and see the after of the heist so 150 plus people were arrested and 9 million was

Recovered but most of the key people who pulled this off have not been caught this is due to them being victims of kidnappings or even murders some people actually believe that this was an inside job due to The burglar’s Hideout having a detailed knowledge of the bank as well

As a former police officer who was arrested for having a role in executing the heist itself as for the money it’s believed to have been either laundered or even smuggled out of Brazil the the Central Bank of Iraq robbery was indubitably one of the most dubious heists ever like often regarded as the

Biggest bank robbery of all time much like a lot of these are going to be referred to that way a whopping 1 billion in cash just disappeared from the bank just before the US Le invasion of Iraq in 2003 do you know how many Whoppers you could get with that that’s

Like two that’s pretty good hours before The Invasion started Saddam Hussein had sent a handwritten letter to the bank telling them to release 1 billion in cash for the well-being of the nation the money was loaded into trucks and took more than 5 hours to complete with

Almost 900 million in US dollar and 100 million in Euros being transported the actual organizers were saddam’s two brothers Kus and UD Hussein who organized a team of intelligence and security officials to make the cash transported American agencies obviously when looking for the money 650 million

Was found in the walls in one of hus palaces which led to multiple raids taking place multiple arrests have been made but a large portion of the money still hasn’t been found to this day you know honestly looking at this I thought it was going to be like a much bigger

Thing but no it’s quite literally just Saddam Hussein going give me money give me money give me money give me money give me Money in 1976 during the Lebanon Civil War a group of Rob used explosives to break into a Catholic church the church led directly into the neighboring British Bank of the Middle East official locksmiths were brought in to open the vault at the bank and robbers got away

With 44.5 million in cash stocks gold along with other valuables and to this day no one has been caught nor has anything been recovered in 2015 London’s Hatton Garden safe deposit company had about 13.7 million in cash and jewels stolen was regarded as the largest burglary in English legal history and apparently the

Robbers were some old ass [ __ ] like they were in their 60s and70s Brian reer the leader of this Heist was rumored to also be a part of the Baker Street robbery in 1983 the Brinks matat Depot near the Heth airport in London had 26 million worth of pounds diamonds and

Gold stolen a man named Brian Robinson was sentenced for 25 years in prison for this height and you know dude was The Mastermind behind all of this as much as Robinson thought he was a big old Einstein brain type of guy there were a lot of mistakes here from the planning

To the execution quite literally from start to end they were caught with the help of informant tip offs and forensic evidence that linked them to the crime so they kind of got caught easily the phrase professional criminal from Ohio sounds too good to be true but like it

Is true Amil Deno along with a group of six others went all the way to the internet’s most hated state California which isn’t nearly as bad as butt [ __ ] Texas anyways the reason for this was to rob a bank but not just any Bank the bank they regard steal president Richard

Nixon’s multi-million dollar stash fund kept at the United California bank right it’s just a storm dick sit down this info was wrong they had incorrectly heard this they used Dynamite to reach the Vault itself and once they got to it they stole 30 million in cash they

Actually seemed like they had a plan though after this they thoroughly cleaned the townhouse they were renting to remove any potential evidence that they were staying there they were eventually caught through you know generously tipping a cab driver and forgot to wipe the dishwasher they had so you know fingerprints were found so

They didn’t do a whole good job and they were easily caught middleaged Pizza deliveryman had walked into a bank handed the teller a note asking for money then exposed his neck and chest holding a bomb he had screamed to the officers that came to arrest him that he

Was being forced to perform the robbery and that the bomb was going to go off they cleared the area and waited for a disposal Squad to arrive but before they could the bomb went off the FBI investigation into who had been behind the incident has led to a trail of Clues

And dead bodies quite literally the nightsbridge security deposit robbery also known as the Lavender Hill mob Heist took place on July 12th 1987 in once again London England English are just criminals I swear like have you seen their fingernails criminal One Singular person posing as a wealthy

Arabian Sheik had gained entry to the Vault tied and threatened the staff then took more than 70 million in cash in jewelry the robber was then identified as Valerio v v v v CH a a well-known Italian criminal he got through alarm systems and supposed impenetrable security measures while also evade and

Capture for several years everything he stole had never been recovered either valo was caught and arrested in London during 1990 got sentenced to 22 years in prison got excited to Italy and served even more years for additional Crimes Vinchenzo Perugia stole the Mona Lisa on August 21 1911 from the L in Paris the L the lover L I’m not French along with media sensation it took authorities two years to find out just who took it a certain point during this investigation pabl Picasso got arrested because they

Thought he was involved guia had actually worked at the lever working as a handyman with access to the paintings themselves and he was also a criminala and two henchmen had taken the painting they hid in the storage closet and when the place closed they started stealing a

Lot more Perugia and two of its henchmen had taken the painting while the museum was open they hid in a storage closet and when the place closed they started stealing they had wrapped it in a blanket and when the lever opened up again they smuggled it out without anyone noticing people didn’t even

Notice that the Mona was stolen it was actually not even like the most popular painting in the L it wasn’t until one person who specifically came to see the mon Alisa had notified security berua wanted to sell it and with widespread news of it stealing you know as well as

Authorities offering a huge reward this was a hard thing to do ruia had tried selling it to an Italian art dealer and when he met up with the dealer the dealer showing up with the head of an Italian Art Gallery had confirmed that the authenticity of the Mona Lisa was

Was you know legit so they called the police even Peru’s criminal reputation this made the molisa more famous around the world founded in the 1990s an international gang of Jewel thieves with their Origins starting in Serbia and Montenegro their organization itself has around 800 members Mo most of them being

Ex soldiers right the Pink Panthers are behind what can be labeled as the more glamorous and audacious Heist right their dubious little Goobers Pink Panthers though made one of the most famous Heist we can see later in this Iceberg I’m excited about this I like train robberies they’re cool as

[ __ ] on August 8 1963 2.3 million pounds from a Royal Male train headed to London from Glasgow Scotland had been stolen a man named Bruce Reynolds and his gang of 15 got onto a train ATO Railway Bridge in buckinghamshire and stole the money I don’t like English cities I don’t like

It they hard to say they mess with the signals on the railroad in order to stop the Train the robbers actually fled the country but managed to be caught 11 men were arrested after trial in 1964 and in 1968 Bruce Reynolds was arrested and sentenced to 25 years in jail Hollywood

Shootout was a shootout between Larry Phillips Jr and Neil matanu oh well against the LAPD if you can count on someone to shoot it’s the LAPD once the robbers had entered and robbed the Bank of America in North Hollywood early morning and had tried to flee into

Residential areas they had made it out of there with around 33,35 but they had die packs on them that eventually ruined all the cash that they took went down on February 28th 1997 both robbers were killed 12 police officers and eight civilians had been injured along with multiple Vehicles

Being damaged and this situation is also also super big and deals with a lot more than just the shootout and due to needing more time for other entries I’ll leave it here the Lloyd’s Bank in London had 9 million stolen on September 1971 a fourman gang committed an inside job on

The bank they rented a leather shop located two doors down from the bank and tunneled their way into the Vault and took money from 268 safety deposits there’s a weird theory that the robbers were hired by the MI5 in order to retrieve qu unquote scandalous photos of Princess Margaret that were supposedly

In one of the safety deposits after Y2K was supposed to happen in the year 2000 the Millennium Dome had finished Construction in London inside the Dome was a weird class Diamond exhibit and it held something known as the Millennium star Millennium star is a 203 karat gem

Worth about 250 million robbers had used explosives to to get in and ran in guns blazing quite literally and planned an escape on a speedboat it was literally [ __ ] payday in the dome police however had already had them under surveillance after following armored car robberies and the robbers had been arrested on the

Site I switched positions the other one sucked yeah a week before Christmas in 2004 Robert dressed up as the police and had broken into the homes of two bank managers in Belfast Northern Ireland they then proceeded to hold their families hostage the managers had been

Told to go to work the next day and there they were met by the robbers 26.5 million and another currency were stolen from the Northern Bank and one person has been arrested for money laundering Lumis Fargo suffered two back-to-back robberies within a 7-month period the first one was on March 29 1997 when

Philip n Johnson had stolen $18.8 million in cash from the vehicle he was driving Johnson had handcuffed his co-workers and dropped them off at a different location Johnson had hidden the stash of the money in North Carolina and proceeded to flee to Mexico he got impatient and tried coming back to the

US only 6 months after the crime at Customs he gave a suspicious answer or multiple suspicious answers to questions he had been asked and there he had been caught with multiple passports he was then taken into custody not too long after this his North Carolina stash had

Been found and all the 18.8 million had been recovered specific robbery Still Remains as the largest cash robbery on the US as of 2023 the second Lumis Fargo robbery was committed by another employee David Gant on October 4th 1997 K was the regional Vault supervisor and had gathered a group of co-

Conspirators to commit the crime e it for him since he had access to all the vaults group loaded $17.3 million to their branded truck then they had moved the money to private cars with his associates Gant like Johnson had also stashed the money and he also fled to

Mexico the following morning Gant was the main suspect of the crime due to being the only one who didn’t show up for work and he had been spotted on the security cameras investigators finally connected their group to the crime a few months later and convicted eight more

For the crime while also finding another 16 guilty of indirect involvement Harry Winston Jewelry store in Paris had been raided on December 2008 thefts or the gunmen had went into the jewelry store wearing women’s wigs and high heels and they had stolen 90 million in jewelry in

2011 20 million in jewelry had been found in the drain in the Paris suburb then in 2015 8 people involved in the robbery had been convicted these men dressed as women were a part of the Pink Panthers in 2007 the DARS Salam Bank in Baghdad had been robbed by a group of

Armed men who then took two $282 million in cash and valuables with American currency making the large amount of it very little is actually known about the specifics of what went down during the robbery and Reports say that bangu guards had pulled off the heist who apparently had ties to the police and

Militias this would have allowed them to get through various checkpoints without being caught in 2006 the Securitas SEC Securitas senoras I don’t know how to read that secur Depot robbery in Kent England had became one of the largest cash robberies in British history Mass men armed with

Guns had kidnapped the Depot manager his wife and child they forced the Depot manager to open the depot itself and stole 53 million several of the robbers had been caught and arrested with stolen money also being recovered but not all of it a big portion of the money has

Never been found Lee Murray The Mastermind behind this Heist had been sent sentenced to 25 years in prison and during his trial a criminal operation had been uncovered in which the full planning of the heist had been revealed on January 2nd 1972 a team of professional Crooks had disguised

Themselves with fake beards and glasses and had taken the staff of the prer hotel in Manhattan New York hostage the robbers took 3 million from safe deposit boxes in the hotel and apparently gave each of the hostages 20 bucks The great Brinks robbery involved 11 men gaining access to a vault and stealing 2.75 million they had planed to sit on the money until the six-year statue of limitations had happened on the crime their issue was that they didn’t trust each other the heist itself was an armed

Robbery of the Brinks building in Boston Massachusetts on January 17 1950 it was almost a perfect Heist literally money disappeared with no evidence untraceable culprits and no suspects and like I said they were waiting for the six-year statue of limitations to end and 6 days from getting there they quite literally

Fumbled the bag one of the thieves had felt he had been treated unfairly Joseph o’keef one of the thieves involved had been arrested for committing another burglary in June of that same year along with his fellow Thief Stanley Gora they had demanded money from Tony Pino and Joseph mcginness the two who had

Organized the Brinks robbery itself O’Keefe’s share of the looted money went to his legal defense and went to trial for another crime and was released on bail for $177,000 o’keef had given a portion of his share to Adolf Mafi his name is actually Adolf yeah for safekeeping and that he never claimed to

Have seen it after that he then kidnapped Vincent Costa and demanded his share Tony penino had paid a small Ransom to help O’Keefe but then paid a Hitman to kill O’Keefe who managed to wound him and in the hospital the FBI approached O’Keefe so he talked five days before the limitations ran out

Henry Baker Michael Gigan Vincent Costa Adolf Mafi Joseph mcginness and Tommy Pino all involved with the bricks robbery had been arrested Stanley gusur and Joseph bfield had died before they could be arrested everyone received life sentences and O’Keefe only four years while only $58,000 of the 2.75 million had been

Recovered in 2008 a whole ass church had been stolen from komarovo Russia it was an abandoned church at the time so what did they do the villagers sold every brick for four rubles right that’s the Russian currency and it seems that the bricks had been used to build an entirely different building the

Church does not belong to the people which sounds backwards lowkey it belongs to the orthod dox officials I just think the situation is kind of funny in 2011 and 2012 the Great Canadian maple syrup Heist took place in which nearly 3,000 tons of maple syrup was stolen from a

Facility in Quebec the syrup had been valued at 18.7 million Canadian dollars and adjusted for inflation has made it the most valuable heist in Canadian history the Steves had used trucks to transport the barrels where the syrup had been in they were sent to a Sugar

Shack had the syrup siphoned out of them then refilled the barrels with water then finally returning them to the storage facility where they came from it was sent to the south in the state of Vermont in the United States and then east of New Brunswick here they sold it

To actual syrup Distributors who didn’t know the syrup was actually stolen Richard valeris was the accused ring leader of this Heist and was sentenced to 8 years in prison with a 9.4 million Canadian Fine in in April 2017 17 people related to The Heist have been arrested when an

Annual inspection of the inventory led to another investigation police recovered barrels from an exporter in New Brunswick that’s how this happened a dude named murf the surf or Jack Murphy and some of his buddies had pulled off a heist at the Museum of national history on October 29 1964 they stole some of

The largest and most expensive Jewels the museum had including the store of India that the long star ruby and the Midnight Star the museum has no [ __ ] security and the window in the jewel room had been propped open for ventilation and coincidentally none of the burglar alarms had worked they got

Caught cuz they kept throwing quote unquote suspiciously lavish parties at a hotel the Jews had been valued at $410,000 which is about $3 million in 2023 they apparently lasted a whopping two days with their Fortune a plane clothesman named James wal heard from an informant that three men had been

Throwing parties it was described as spending money like wild you think they were making all of it with machine detectives got a search warrant and found everything themselves as well as a floor plan on the museum and books about precious stones Roger Clark one of the three men involved walked in to the

Search and when questioned he just caved in 1994 the Carlton Hotel had been broken into by a thief firing a full auto pistol into the air with everyone in inside panicking the thieves made it out with nearly $60 Million worth of jewels and the weirdest part no bullets

Or bullet holes were found anywhere they used [ __ ] blanks Milan poic a known member of the Pink Panthers has been suspected of committing The Heist itself as he escaped prison days prior to the heist but no one has been caught so far A 1 million euro reward has been offered

To someone who can give any information leading to the stolen items According to this entry it says that Wyoming is actually real the mar out a Union Pacific train had gone along at 3:00 in the morning and when a red lantern appeared in their distance they made it stop grindstone Jones the man inside the messenger cab had his locomotive boarded by three

Masked men with guns Jones had resist resisted and then was pistol whipped the robbers had the cab detached from the train and driven away from the train itself robbers had the bridge that they were on rigged with dynamite so they blew it up a safe on the Trin had been

Blown up with a stick of dynamite and almost destroyed most of the train and the robbers had taken a a reported $36,000 and this was later traced to the famous Butch Cassidy in August 2018 more than $40,000 worth of insects and lizard had been stolen from the Philadelphia Insectarium and Butterfly Pavilion an

Estimated 7,000 animals had been stolen all of which were seemed to be resold anyways who’s selling bugs what the [ __ ] only evidence was that blue staff uniforms had been found hanging from the wall held in place by knives this leads to the belief of an inside job on September 23 2009 Swedish police

Had faced a highly organized gang of criminals in the countries and the icebergs first helicopter robbery the thieves first stole a [ __ ] helicopter to land on the roof of a cash Depot building it said that police couldn’t use their own helicopter due to decoy bombs being placed on them presumably by

The robbers they proceeded to break through the windows with sledgehammers and blew the security doors down with explosives they then raided the cash door vaults when police cars arrived their tires were blown out by Road spikes that had been laid down over the road Swedish Air Force offered

Assistance but were rejected due to this being a civilian matter Safa kadam kadum one of that one of those um one of the robbers had flown to the Dominican Republic where he was then arrested at the request of the Swedish government the pilot of the stolen helicopter Alexander Ericson flew to Canary Islands

And was met by Swedish police at the airport there Goran bovic was identified as the leader of the robbery these three had received eight years imprisonment while the others involved received a one year 2 years and a 5-year sentence to this day the amount that they stole is

Unknown on February 18 2013 eight Mass gunmen and two fake police cars stole about $50 million us worth of diamonds at the Brussels Airport in Belgium and it’s always Belgium huh the robbers apparently hid in the construction site outside the airport just up as the police and entered through a hole they

Had made in the airport fence they drove straight to the plane where the diamonds were being transferred and it said that this time window for them to do this was so small it would have only lasted 15 minutes just for the chance to steal everything it’s thought that they knew

About the transfer procedures and its timing the robbers stopped the plane whipped out their guns and thus stopping the pilots and Transport Security the entire robbery took about 3 minutes which is a lot longer than me and no bullets were shot and none of the flight passengers even knew that this had

Happened Mark beraldi a luxury C dealer was revealed as a co-conspirator to the heist when Pascal Pont one of the 31 suspects had been caught and he revealed that he received stolen goods from beraldi despite not being The Mastermind beraldi was sentenced to 5 years in

Prison and had received a fine on June 2019 on August 69 the graph diamonds robbery took place in new Bond Street London two men posing as customers stole around4 million pound or 65 million us worth of diamonds the robbers had used latex Prosthetics wigs and even altered

Their skin tone you don’t have to worry no one did blackface they got the help of a professional makeup artist for about 4 hours by telling them this was for a music video but instead they [ __ ] robbed the jewelry store it’s even funnier about this is that this

Exact makeup studio had helped disguise those who committed the Securitas robbery in 2006 from earlier so the robbers never tried to hide their face and were caught by CCTV cuz you know they’re [ __ ] disgu they held staff members at gunpoint and one was briefly held hostage while taking off with 43 Rings bracelets

Necklaces and watches the robbers drove off in a getaway car and that’s how and that’s kind of how they got caught they [ __ ] crashed the vehicle and then tried to get on a second vehicle but then they left behind a phone that had Anonymous phone numbers they then checked down the robbers 2

Weeks later on August 20 2009 all the way to August 7 2010 six different men who were involved in the heist were imprisoned Aman casai I should read these names first who had planned and executed The Heist was sentenced to 23 years in prison and Craig Calderwood the second man in

Disguise was given 21 years John Dillinger had a 15-month bank robbery career and pulled off 11 heists the most notable and lucrative one was the Central National Bank Heist on October 23 1933 without shooting a bullet Dill and his two boys Harry peir Pond and Charles fat Charles mackley had stolen

$775,000 in cash and for reference 75,000 in 1933 is about 1.4 million today you know what’s crazy though within one year Dillinger mackley and P Pont were all dead during Late July 2018 20 thieves stole Royal jewels from the strnas cathedral in Stockholm Sweden they stole

Some old ass [ __ ] too like these two stole two crowns and a golden orb that dated back to the 17th century from what I could find though no one realized that these two had stolen anything until they walked out since they started sprinting after they exited the door it’s like the

Equivalent of a kid in elementary going up to their French crush and saying hey Nicole likes you and then just runs away anyways since that made them look weird security went back to check and see if everything was okay and found a large hole and a spiderweb of cracks where the

Items were located and by the time the police even got there the thieves had escaped and a helicopter and boat started searching for them and found nothing they got away on a speedboat however they were pretty [ __ ] [ __ ] they smashed the glass they left behind traces of blood it was

Smeared on the Queen’s scepter also on display as well as being on the floor also when they escaped they were caught running towards motorcycles and once again blood was found on one of them Nicholas Backstrom already known to the police had been identified by his DNA matching the blood that was found

Backstrom was given 4 and A2 years in prison and the items were found in a parking lot having been placed there by Martin GMO GMO was also found guilty as the second Thief I actually absolutely love this one a Chinese Banker had stole 50 million Yuan equal to $6.7 million us

Between March and April 2007 it’s known as the largest bank robbery in China bank manager Ren shaoang had stolen 2,000 Yan or $226,000 in complicity with two security guards and you want to know why Ren started stealing get ready for this it was so he could play the lottery not

Only that he intended to win the lottery put the money back before anyone noticed and had tried to keep some of the money for himself that now that that’s how you win the lottery boys you rob a bank don’t actually do that despite the odds Ren actually won the lottery into 2006

Then in 2007 he did it again on a much larger scale he teamed up with the other manager Ma shaning and they stole 32.97 million Yuan or $4.3 us million and then they spent 31 million on lottery tickets however they didn’t win enough to put back the stolen money but

They stole even more money that they ended up stealing 188 million and blew through 14 million to recover their losses eventually they just bought fake IDs and tried to flee this resulted in everyone being caught Ren and Ma were sentenced to death while security guards and a fifth man were sentenced to 5

Years in jail Ren and Ma were executed in 2008 in hi Province and cremated with their ashes being thrown into the Yellow Sea by the police Edward Munch’s painting scream is most famously remembered for predicting the YouTuber thumbnail and just like the Mona Lisa this [ __ ] was stolen on February 12

1994 the Winter Olympics had their opening day and because of Olympic festivities they moved the screen painting down to a second flooor away from its original spot the thieves had climbed up a ladder and they broke a window stole the [ __ ] and left the note it read quote unquote thanks for the

Poor security you know they [ __ ] rubbed it in their faces they demanded 1 million US dollars but the National Gallery refused to pay it I couldn’t say that [ __ ] word instead Norwegian authorities teamed up with Britain’s s so10 and LA’s J Paul gy Museum British detective Charles Hill managed to

Recover the painting convincing the thieves to hand it over under the guise that the Getty museum was willing to pay for it four men were convicted in January 1996 but were unfortunately released on legal bound since the British detectives entered the country with false identities all right real

With a total of 80 million Indian rupees or an equivalent of $961 th000 the robbers had tried to mislead any investigations by purposefully leaving behind gold in a hotel room leaving behind a Pro communism sentiments and made many different phone calls from multiple cities however a secret phone number used by the suspects

Was identified and four people were tracked down and arrested the leader of the robbery said a Bollywood movie named Doom inspired the heist itself which I think is funny a group of Russian hackers committed some of the largest cyber hacks ever stealing 1 billion EUR ever since 2013 this gang had been

Trying to steal money digitally with the help of their own design m named carbon and Cobalt Cobalt Cobalt this has been used in over 40 countries and resulted in 1 billion euros in total to be stolen basically what they would do is impersonate large companies and hack Bank employee devices through

Alias and hadn’t been arrested again until 2021 the stolen equipment has also not been found and investigators believe that it may have been used to illegally mine Bitcoin an entire 10 ton Bridge was stolen in broad daylight in the Czech Republic in 2012 that’s just [ __ ] funny dude the thieves had told the

Police that they had been hired to demolish the bridge and to remove any unwanted Railway track to make way for a new cycle route they had forged documents on them that had convinced the police and they stole the [ __ ] Bridge with 200 M of Railway track the weird

Part is that this wasn’t the only bridge that had been stolen as well and it’s not the only bridge that had been stolen in the Czech Republic no one knows why they stole it but it’s believed that they intended to sell it for scrap or to sell the scrap they just wanted to

[ __ ] sell it which I think is weird how do you sell a bridge in August 17 thev stole a refrigerated truck holding 20 tons of Nutella and Kinder Eggs in nude Stu Germany somewhere in Germany this was estimated to be worth $80,000 and German law enforcement came

Out and stated that anyone selling large amounts of chocolate through unconventional means should be reported to the police apparently not only did they steal the chocolate but they stole the semi truck trailer too that same weekend an entire truck full of fruit juice was also stolen like what the what

The [ __ ] is going on in Germany dude Andre ster was a South American cop who ended up becoming a bank robber so ster would sometimes commit these crimes while on his lunch break while being a cop then come back to the scene of the crime as a cop bro was out here playing

Like 90 chess It’s [ __ ] amazing dander claimed to have been disillusioned with the police force after he and fellow officers shot down unarmed school kids in the soo Uprising in 1976 killing 176 of them however he actually wasn’t there when that happened and other accounts say that Stander was

Just bored and wanted some action in his life you and me both brother but don’t steal after having robbed about 30 Banks Stander was caught and arrested then sentenced to 75 years in prison on May 6 1980 however in 1983 he and two other inmates had escaped but on 1984 he was

Caught and shot by an officer who attempted to stop his Escape one of if not the most famous Outlaws that there ever was was a man named Butch Cassidy who had robbed his first bank and made him famous on June 24 1899 Cassidy and others had robbed the bank of San Miguel

Valley Bank in Colorado and stole about $20,000 which is equal to somewhere between 600,000 and 780,000 as of 2023 right these are like big money moves if anything accounts on how many people were involved vary it’s usually between three or four we can confirm three so

We’ll just go with that one of the men involved Matt wner had pretended to cash in a check then proceeded to hold the bank teller at gunpoint during this Cassie stole the money and then Tom mccardy the third man had been waiting for the two outside on their getaway

Horses it’s not a super flashy Heist but that’s the story of how Bush Cassy got his story ex started on October 6th 1866 William Frank John and Simeon Reno made the first famous training robbery in the US this incident went down in Seymour Indiana after the brothers had gone onto

An Ohio and Mississippi Railroad passenger and took an estimated 16,000 which would be around 300,000 as of 2023 all right so how did they do it the brothers moved down from the train into a car owned by the Adams Express company which delivered packages Bank documents

And drafts they had wor mask to hide themselves pointing their guns at the Adam Express employee Ellen Miller and demanded the company safe to be opened they had worn mask to hide themselves pointing their guns at the Adams Express employee Ellen Miller and demanded the company safe to be opened Miller was

Only able to open a local safe and the Reno brothers looted that one and tossed a larger one off the train they signaled for the train to stop and ran off before the conductor could continue to move the train itself apparently they were never able to crack open the safe they stole

Which is just funny to me I after this train robbers became more frequent so while this wasn’t the very first one it was the one that popularized Train Robbers the most recent one on this Iceberg took place on November 25th 2019 five men were involved with a sixth being acquitted in the Dresden green Vault heist where 123 million was stolen in his hisorical jewelry and ornaments a week prior to the heist the exact

Planning went on a hole in a metal gate was grate was cut and placed back there we go a hole in a metal grate was cut and placed back one person broke into a service room for the city power supply on the day of the heist a homemade bomb

Went off in front of the electrical service room that had been broken into prior this had knocked out street lights in the immediate area the gang entered through the hole they had made and then the green Vault had been broken into by the gang two Mass thieves had smashed

Through a glass with hammers and an axe then stole 21 Diamond studded artifacts nearly all of the items that were stolen were made during the rule of Frederick Augustus the the first king of Saxony the list of stolen items include a ceremonial 36 in sword and sheath

Headwear with 15 large and more than 100 small diamonds necklaces pendants buttons and brooches all of them hold in around 4,300 diamonds and other valuable stones do private security guards watch this go down on CCTV footage but were forced by rules not to confront them due to being unarmed gang involved were

Found to be a part of the Remo Clan which usually operated out of Berlin and was one of the most powerful crime families in Germany three of the five were sentenced to five and 6 years in prison while the other two got four and 5 years in juvenile detention The Gang

Had agreed to return turned the loot for Less prison time and they did but not all of it was recovered at this time the state is still searching for 89 million in Damages and they’re missing Treasures historians believe on February 13 1866 Frank and Jesse James had committed the

First daytime bank robbery an estimated 10 to 12 men rode into Clay County in Missouri with two of them going into the bank to change a $10 bill once the clerk started to change the bill he and his assistant had revolvers pulled on them this is when the gang started robbing

The bank and after they were done they shoved both workers into the Vault having stolen around 60k once they were making their way out a young man named George wear had been gunned down by the gang who was believed to have been someone who sounded an alarm another man

Named H H Holmes had also been shot twice there’s no substantial proof that Jesse James did it it’s believed that he was still bedridden after chess wound he suffered at the end of the Civil War but many think that he may have planned it J game seems to be blamed for it though

Because of his popularity of being a bank robber so historians seem to just put these things together so along with Butch Cassy Jesse James has also got to be one of the most famous Outlaws there ever was what’s known as the last judgment Heist is also regarded as the

First art Heist Hans memling painted a depiction of the last judgment during the second coming of Christ which is basically a concept of Jesus Christ coming back to Earth after ascending to heaven and judging Souls whether they go to heaven or hell pug has three panels the main Painting With Jesus and

Archangel Michael Souls being Guided by St Peter to heaven on the left and souls being driven down towards hell on the right over in 1473 polish Pirates had set sail for Florence Italy and took the last judgment painting that’s quite literally it Paul Ben the only named

Pirate just kind of stole it and took it back to Poland with him and it spent forever trying to get it back and and it’s still in Poland Stanley Mark riffkin was a computer professional in electronic transfer systems who ended up stealing a whopping 10.2 million from the Security Pacific National Bank in

Los Angeles he did this by manipulating wire transfers directly to a Swiss bank account and at the time during 1978 this was considered the largest bank robbery in history rifkin’s job was to design a backup system for banks authorization codes and he had access to transfer procedures Bank officers who could had

Authorized Bank transfers were giving a specific code every day which they would write down and post it somewhere easily visible to them riffkin found this out and went to look for it after going into the wire room where the code was supposedly doing his job rifken found

The code and memorized it while also memorizing an officer’s ID number Rifkin then left and went to a pay phone in the lobby changing and using his name Mike Hansen member of the banks International Department during this he made three recalls and he gave instructions to wire

10.2 million to an account in Zer Switzerland that he already made a few days later riffkin went to Switzerland got the money hired a diamond Merchant to pick up 43,200 carats in diamonds paid 8 million for them and flew back home under the role of a diamond corer during his

Flight back he hit diamonds in a money belt which he had passed through US Customs Rin holds the [ __ ] Guinness World Record for biggest Computer Fraud Rifkin asked his lawyer to help him negotiate giving the bank he worked for the diamonds in exchange for a Consulting contract because he could

Help solve the security problem the bank apparently had riskin’s Laur actually gave him up to the FBI and they set up a sting operation against riffkin and lured him into committing another crime they did this in order to have evidence to prosecute him riffkin then pleaded guilty to the first death he committed

After all this I realized dude could have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for his lawyer like that Jesus Christ don’t steal this one takes place in the Bronx neighborhood of New York the centry armored car company suffered a loss of 11 million in a planned and

Convincing Inside Job the guard Christos pamis made a hole in the roof of the company’s headquarters left his associate inside and even handcuffed himself for further convincing at the time this was the biggest cash robbery in the US and I feel like a lot of these have been regarded as the biggest Heist

Of all time five people were arrested including pinus and George legaki leiki legaki whatever his partner in crime pinus was arrested on February 2nd 1983 while vacationing in San Juan Puerto Rico in a private Resort where leaki willingly turned himself in the tamus ended up writing a screenplay about his

Life of crime and even the heist itself which ended up starring everyone’s most hated wrestler at the moment The Rock in 2013 we want Cody all right please there were a couple of cheese heists that took place in the state of Wisconsin in the US One Heist had 20,000 lounds of cheese

Stolen from a parked semi-trailer the driver was said to be driving the semi-trailer from Green Bay to New York City and that $46,000 worth of cheese was gone when the driver stopped to run an errand another Heist had $70,000 worth of cheese stolen in germentown Wisconsin

However this was only an attempt as the cheese was found later in Milwaukee first one to happen that year was in Marling Wisconsin where 990,000 worth of Parmesan cheese was stolen from a storage facility I don’t know what the [ __ ] is going on in Wisconsin but they

Seem to really like their cheese so like I’m going steal it no I’m not don’t steal this one will hopefully get its own video because it’s James Bond related and it gives me an excuse to make a James Bond video so I won’t get into every detail famous Aston Martin

DB5 that debuted in the 1964 movie Goldfinger has been stolen is see the thing is there’s other versions of this car the golden eye version driven by Pierce Brazen is on display in New York but the one specifically used and driven by Shan connory himself was stolen from

A Florida airport in 1997 the weird part is that no one knows how this happened or who did it nor alarms went off in a belief that someone somehow took a plane holding the car without alerting anyone that [ __ ] is [ __ ] weird however the car is believed to be in the Middle East

In the possession of a car collector an night witness had reported the car are still having its original chases ident identification number on it there we go the DB5 is still worth up to 27 million and the DB5 insurance company is offering $100,000 as a reward for bringing it

Forward all right that’s it that’s all the heist I finally this this has been worked on since March of 2023 it’s probably going to be like March 2024 when it comes out it is so annoying this is long so many like computer crashes and interruptions have happened you’ve

Seen seen my hair change and my outfits change like four times already this is annoying this is annoying to do and this is annoying to put together I don’t know if you can tell but this was entirely scripted I don’t ever do scripts so this was really [ __ ] hard but there were

So many heists I was just not going to remember everything I had to script this anyways I’m tired bro I’m tired I’m I’m going leave I’m going go home I’ll leave my rambling there and to that I’m going just I’m just going to say bye Oh
