#17 The movie 'Goodfellas' was based around this event. James Burke was played by Robert De Niro.
#12 I lived in Boston from 1984 to 1994, The Gardner Museum was always my favorite of the many Boston area museums. I've must've visited it at least 40 times. I was actually there the day before the robbery with my then girlfriend. I've always considered myself lucky to be one of the last people to see those stolen works in person.

The reason most stolen loot never turns up again is because it never existed. It's a police tactic to pass it off as larger. This is intended to sow discord within the gang, so that everyone feels betrayed by the other.
