BOOK
The practice run : how a failed art heist provided a blueprint for the world's largest art robbery
2025
Overview
On St Patrick's Day, 1990, one of the largest art thefts in the world took place - the heist of Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in which thirteen works of art, worth over half a billion dollars, were stolen by two thieves posing as policemen. Had there been a prior practice run for this theft? Ten years earlier, during the Christmas season, two thieves who posed as delivery men were thwarted in their attempt of a near-identical robbery at The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, New York - an art museum modeled after a one in Boston. This book investigates the planning and execution of both heists.
