True Heist

In a secret meeting in 1981, a master thief named Louis Royce gave career gangster Ralph Rossetti the tip of a lifetime. As a kid, Royce had visited the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and made a habit of sneaking in at night to find a good place to sleep. He knew the Museum's security was lax, and he gave this information to a boss of the Boston criminal underworld. It took years before the Museum was hit. But when it finally happened, it quickly became one of the most infamous art heists in history.

Det telefonsamtal som söndagen 21 februari 1999 klockan 16.15 nådde larmcentralen i Helsingfors inledde en för finska förhållanden unik brottsutredning. Personen som ringde in förklarade att han genast behövde ambulanser och polis till Skytteföreningen, då en kvinna hade anlänt till föreningen och öppnat eld mot ett flertal personer. När polisen anlände möttes de av en makaber syn. Tre unga män låg livlösa på golvet, och en hade livshotande skador.

In 1907, the revolutionary Joseph Djugashvili - who would later take the name Joseph Stalin - met with an old friend, a clerk at the Tiflis branch of the State Bank of the Russian Empire, for a glass of milk. Over talk of national pride, the spirit of the new century and Djugashvili's poetry, they agreed on the beginnings of a plan. With the aid of the Outfit, Djugashvili's hardened crew of 'expropriators', they would pull off the biggest, bloodiest and most daring robbery in Georgia's history, and ruthlessly change the direction of the Bolshevik revolution forever.

Gennem et stykke tid havde der været flere indbrud i villaer nord for København, og hver gang var det dyre ting som B&O-anlæg og lignende, der blev stjålet. Fælles ved de indbrud, hvor gerningsmændene var blevet set, var at de var maskerede og kørte fra stedet i hurtige biler.

Fredag den 22. maj 1992 lidt over middag bragede der er skud midt i Skanderborg. Dette skud var indledningen til anholdelsen af to gerningsmænd, som netop havde forøvet røveri mod Den Danske Bank på Højvangens Torv i Skanderborg, og hvor fremgangsmåden var identisk med andre bankrøverier forøvet i Esbjerg, Vejle og Horsens Politikreds.

Richard Vaux has done his share of dirty work, but nothing like this. His employer, Trans World Airlines, wants him and a crew to sneak into Beirut, Lebanon, at the height of a civil war, to reclaim an airplane hijacked by Palestinian terrorists. TWA can't say for sure whether the plane will fly or whether it has been wired to explode in flight. And that's assuming they aren't attacked by one or more of the rival militias who pass the time shooting at each other across the tarmac, but only because there haven't been any Americans to kidnap in a while.
