Two fake cops walked into a museum and pulled off the biggest art heist in history, leaving behind clues that make no sense.
What haunting reminders of the world's biggest art heist still hang on a Boston museum's walls today?
Empty frames.
The museum keeps them as placeholders, hoping the stolen masterpieces will someday return.
What baffling decision did the thieves make that left art experts scratching their heads?
They ignored more valuable pieces.
They grabbed a cheap eagle ornament but walked past priceless works hanging nearby.
What happened when the security guards followed protocol and let two 'police officers' into the museum?
They got tied up.
The fake cops bound both guards and spent the next hour casually looting 13 masterpieces.
What bizarre mix of loot did the thieves stuff into their bags alongside Rembrandt and Vermeer paintings?
A Chinese vase and eagle.
These nearly worthless decorative objects made their art selection even more puzzling to investigators.
What record-breaking reward does the museum still offer for information about paintings stolen over 30 years ago?
Ten million dollars.
It's the largest bounty ever offered by a private institution, but the case remains unsolved.
