7 Most Expensive Things That Were Stolen From Museums

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

This case only proves that you can’t have too much security in museums. In 1990 two dudes dressed as Boston cops requested to be let inside the closed museum. And the guards let them in. Well, the rest is textbook Hollywood heist: knock out the guards, bad guys go “shopping”, flee before anyone notices the guards are down. These two made it out with enough priceless items that even 30 years later nobody knows anything about who they are and certainly not where they went. It’s estimated that the loot from this heist was around $500 million, making it the most valuable art theft of all time!
