Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist (1990)

Isabella Stewart Gardner was a 19th-century patron of the arts who owned a large art collection who founded the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. This museum housed many exclusive and expensive pieces from the likes of storied painters Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Manet.

In 1990, thirteen pieces of art were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum one spring evening by two dudes posing as cops answering a disturbance call. These precious pieces are worth an estimated $500 million – and to this very day have never been found.

Although the real story fingers New England gangsters as suspects, who says the Professor and co. weren’t the actual responsible party? Art imitating life imitating an art heist . . .

The Japanese bank bomb bamboozle (1968)

In 1968 guards were transporting $817,520 to Nihon Shintaku Ginko bank when they were stopped by a young officer of the law – or so they thought. The unassuming “police officer” told them the house of their bank branch manager had been blown up and that his station had received a warning that dynamite had been planted in the company vehicle they were driving.

When the guards exited the vehicle, said “officer” crawled beneath to “inspect” it for any bombs. Shortly after, smoke appeared from underneath the truck and the terrified salarymen ran for their lives. The “officer” then jumped into the vehicle and made off with the cash, never to be seen again. The case still remains unsolved.

This sort of heist could be an easy quick job for the Professor and his gang – in fact, for such a big-time crew, it would most likely be more of a gateway heist to a bigger payday. Sayonara, cash!

D.B. Cooper and the Boeing 727 hijacking (1971)

Back in 1971 an unknown adrenaline junkie boarded a Boeing 727 aircraft under the name D.B. Cooper. Casually, he revealed he had a bomb in his suitcase and said he’d detonate it unless given $200,000 cash on arrival at the destination airport.

After getting his hot little hands on that chunk of change, he requested the plane be deboarded. Once back in the air, he bailed – literally. To this day, “D.B. Cooper” has never been found or identified.

$200,000 is chump change for our Money Heist bandits (even adjusted for inflation, taking the value to close to a cool million), but we’re thinking this sort of crime could create an awesome diversion tactic for their next big heist. We already know that the Professor is skilled at tactical planning; why not take to the air (again) in future heists? The sky is literally the limit. Geronimo!

The Banco Central burglary (2005)

The Banco Central burglary took place in Brazil, when a group of robbers dug a tunnel from a house in Fortaleza’s city center leading to the central bank of Brazil. The perpetrators also managed to cut through over three-and-a-half feet of steel-reinforced concrete and make it out with over $70 million in cash.

There have since been some arrests – and deaths – relating to this crime, but to press ten of the robbers are still at large and a mere $5 million or so has been recovered.

Money Heist’s gang is already very experienced at digging tunnels as part of their heists and this plan already sounds similar to heist of the Royal Mint of Spain. However, there are a lot of mints in the world. Why not relocate to another country in future seasons and give this tried-and-true plan a shot (with some key surprises to prevent known law enforcement defenses) again? Fort Mead is calling you, amigos . . . .

São Paulo Airport gold heist (2019)

This cheeky plan occurred only last week. Two men dressed up as police officers stole $30 million in gold from planes destined for New York & Zurich. Since the two men were dressed as police officers, airport employees followed their directions to the letter and gave them plenty of gold in cars disguised as official police vehicles.

Currently three suspects are being held in connection with the robbery and we’re watching the case develop in real time.

The Professor and his gang have plenty of issues with the po-po, so if they tried to
