Help the FBI Solve this Art Theft


Can the new surveillance video from the Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum help solve a 25 year old, $500 million art heist?

Authorities have repeatedly said that on March 18, 1990, two white men dressed in Boston police uniforms gained entrance to the museum by telling the security guard at the watch desk that they were responding to a report of a disturbance.

Against museum policy, the guard allowed the men into the museum. The thieves handcuffed the museum’s two guards on duty and put them in separate areas of the museum’s basement.

The video surveillance footage from the night of the robbery was taken by the thieves.

Though the thieves stole the video footage from the night of the heist, the new footage shows a man, getting out of a car the night before the robbery that matches the description of the car reported to be parked outside the museum the night of the heist.

A $5 million reward has been offered by the museum for information that leads to the recovery of the stolen artwork in good condition.

Take a look at the surveillance footage and perhaps be the one to help solve this 25 year old mystery.
