Museum Offers 10 Million Reward For Info Regarding Huge 1990 Heist But You Must Act Now

As I write this, that reasoning is being tested, since the December 31st deadline to claim the doubled reward is here and no viable recipients have been reported. Amore says he’s optimistic, though, even given the fact that nearly 30 years have passed since “the biggest property theft in the history of man,” since as whoever has the paintings now will eventually wise up to the fact that their loot will be tricky to sell due to their notoriety – on the other hand, 27 years is a very long time to take to learn that lesson. Empty frames like the one seen above that previously held the paintings have remained on display in the museum since the heist, a message that the paintings’ rightful home will always be in the Gardner collection. In 2013, the FBI revealed that the identities of the thieves had been discovered, but that they had both died, and were believed to have bequeathed the art to someone affiliated with the mob. The paintings aren’t known to have shown up in any black market exchanges, so one can only hope that they haven’t been somehow lost or destroyed. After December 31st, the museum’s reward will revert back to the $5 million amount.
