9.Boston Heist Paintings

The world’s biggest unsolved art heist happened almost thirty years ago, and we’re still no closer to finding what happened to all the stolen priceless art. The incident happened one evening in the 90s. A couple of art robbers donned police disguises and were able to trick the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum security team in Boston. The thieves were able to get in easily and handcuff security.

They successfully ran away with a number of precious artworks made by famous painters such as The Concert by Vermeer, Christ in the Storm on the Sea by Rembrandt, and Flinck’s Landscape with an Obelisk. The FBI has valued the haul at $500 million, and no arrests have been made and no works have been recovered. To this day, no one has been able to give credit to the mastermind behind the grand heist.
