The Most Famous Break-In Heists In History

The Most Famous Break-In Heists In History

****

Whether they're trying to get their hands on some valuables or doing it just for sheer excitement, robberies and people who don't do a good job make their life work break into the unbreakable. Transcend the insurmountable.

And in terms of the impenetrable, well, let's just say they're doing their job right. The stakes are high, but the rewards are greater. The harder it is to break into a place, the greater the impact.

So, today, we bring you all the valuable information about the most famous hacks in history. But before we steal you away,

 For now, close your doors and close your windows. It's time for history in what looks like something from a movie.

George Clooney or three films. A group of highly skilled thieves spent months planning and planning the largest bank robbery in Brazilian history.

 A few dozen criminals created a fake gardening business on the street opposite the Central Bank of Brazil in Fortaleza. They even bought a pickup truck and came up with a fake company logo. Because every good theft needs a graphic designer.

Then the pseudo-gardeners dug an underground tunnel that stretched from the place of their preparation to the basement of the secured bank. The tunnel was equipped with all the necessary light bulbs, a ventilation system, plastic, and supports. On Saturday, August 6, 2005.

The perpetrators managed to steal more than $160 million from the basement. Two days passed before anyone noticed the theft, but by then the money and thieves had long been gone. And during the twenty years that followed, Theft, eight people were detained, leaving only 20 million missing dough.

 Retrieved. In 1836, the Bank of England was opened on London's famous Thriddendale Street and received a strange letter from an anonymous source. The note made it clear that their impenetrable vaults containing the bank's gold supplies were not at all impenetrable. Bank officials laughed a lot at that. However, the laughter stopped when bank officials received a second letter offering to meet them inside the basement, and to everyone's surprise, a man appeared from under the floorboard. A kind of reverse Shawshank.

 It turns out that the sewer discovered an old pipe that leads directly to the cellar. After this Good Samaritan was given £800, the Bank of England quickly fixed the breach and everything was fine. Almost 15 years old in 1999 were watching the matrix for the eighty-seventh time.

 Miami teenager Jonathan James was walking around a network

Internet in search of some back doors. That's a hacking term, Mr. Anderson. Using the network analysis tool. James was able to unlock hundreds of messages, usernames and passwords from an unexpected goal. Did we mention that the compromised server belongs to NASA? And James not only took a peek and ducks back into the shadows.

He hacked into Defense Department networks, gained access to several staff computers at the Marshall Space Flight Center, and ended up downloading some NASA-owned software worth $1.7 million.

 As a result, NASA was forced to shut down its system for three consecutive weeks, while James became the first juvenile to receive a federal verdict for hacking computers. When asked why, James said he simply wanted to see how far he could go while casting some punches at NASA's lackluster security practices in the process.

 The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston houses many of the world's most valuable and valuable works of art, making it a prime target for a clever enough thief. Fortunately, this type of thief appeared in the museum on the evening of March 18, 1990, dressed as police officers, and told security guards that they were responding to a nuisance call.

 The guards broke protocol and allowed the fake cops to pass through the employee's entrance and for their trust. The guards were given handcuffs, ropes and masks. After 81 minutes, the thieves walked through the gift shop featuring 13 artworks, including pieces from Vermeer, Rembrandt and Degas. The full amount, totaling $500 million, has not been recovered to date.

The museum still offers a $10 million reward for information leading to its recovery. Statistically, one of you just panicked. The only scariest thing from the Russian nuclear plane ferry on

Resurrection is the addition of an unauthorized access phrase.

And that's exactly what happened at the Russian company Bury the Aircraft Company. The complex is housed in the Ilyushin IL 80, an airborne command center designed to transport senior Russian commanders to safety in the event of a nuclear strike. They call it a doomsday plane, which looks like something Fantastic Four will be called upon to deal with.

 Despite the high stakes and extreme secrecy of the aircraft, officials were puzzled when it was targeted for theft in 2020 after inspectors noticed nearly 40 pieces of radio equipment missing from the charging bay.

 Russia's top officers have been stingy in the details of how such a blunder their watchful eyes occurred, let alone who it was or what the investigation found. So it is our responsibility to assume that it was the work of small ghosts. Some intruders break into a place for valuables. Others do it just to chat.

 This is what happened in the summer of 1982, when a drunken man named Michael Fagan dealt a major blow to the reputation of the security forces at Buckingham Palace. After a night at the bar in the early morning of July 9, Fagan found an open window on the roof and used it for his own tour of the Queen's residence.

 He took his time admiring the pictures hanging on the walls. The collection of King George V stamps and Prince Charles' wine cellar, where half a white bottle was dropped in the process. Eventually, Fagan ended up in the Queen's bedroom and Elizabeth was not happy to see him. According to his first-hand account, the queen apologized and walked out of the room.

 The intruder was eventually arrested, and during the investigation, he dropped the bomb he had already burst. Buckingham Palace several weeks ago without being discovered. This gave him the confidence to exhume the body he found early in the morning himself in custody.

 Fagan. In 1911, the Louvre Museum in Paris was undergoing a project where the exhibited artworks would be transported to the surface to be photographed before being returned. Three Italian artisans working at the museum decided that this was the perfect opportunity to grab one of the most famous pieces of art of all time.

The trio spent the night in the art closet, sneaking in only in the early hours of the morning to lift the Mona Lisa from the wall before exiting the front door. Because of the ongoing filming project. And no one even noticed that the painting had disappeared for more than a day. Realizing this, an international effort was launched to restore the priceless artwork, making it a household name in the process.

Two years later, the thief Vincent Perugia tried to sell the painting to a dealer in Florence. The police were chasing him before he could say that Leonardo had disappeared. Da Vinci, having been detained, but just said that he would like to return the painting to her state home for the first time since Napoleon Bonaparte stole it?

 Yes, that's definitely why there aren't huge piles of money. In 2013, the world watched with anticipation the meeting of the College of Cardinals of the Catholic Church to choose a new pope. But while the rest of us had to watch the smoke of the chimney on television, one of the fraudsters got a front-row seat in the Vatican.

A German man named Ralf Napier Ski dressed in a black fedora, a purple scarf and a priest specially designed for the much younger man of God, stood out and walked next to the Swiss guard guarding the door. Once inside, Napier Ski pretended to be a real bishop, arrived at the main Vatican Square, and posed for photos with real bishops.

But when someone noticed that his clothes weren't quite fit, the dance was raised. It should be spread for a more expensive outfit. Napier Schke claimed to belong to the Italian Orthodox Church, a famous church that does not exist, and still insists that he is a bishop to this day, claiming that he infiltrated the Vatican to protest the church scandals. Catholicism related to child abuse.

Robert Latta is famous for being one of the only people to use the old I font with the band line and actually make it work on a presidential scale, no less. In 1985, just hours before President Ronald Reagan was sworn in, Latta managed to sneak through security and enter the president's official dining room.

Despite no credentials, uniforms or tool, Latta entered the White House following the U.S. Marine Division in one classic game and two. The band thought he was with White House staff, and White House staff thought he was with The Perfect Crime.

 Lata, a Denver native who came to the city for the inauguration, was unable to walk around the president's residence for only 15 minutes before he was arrested. Fortunately, it was the last time a random person sneaked into the White House.

 However, this wasn't the last time any of the reality stars had sneaked in. Real housewives of the stars of the capital. To summarize, Mikael Salahi managed to sneak into a high-security official dinner party. It was during an evening hosted by the Obama administration in the East Room of the White House, a party to which the Slahi family was not invited.

 However, they succeeded in bypassing several Secret Service agents without verifying their names, and eventually made their way to the lavish reception. After shaking hands with President Barack Obama and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. They headed to the South Lawn and took some pictures with Vice President Joe Biden before sneaking out completely undetected.

 While the Salahiyyin faced no consequences for their propaganda activity, we have to imagine that the Secret Service held some HR meetings. The English Civil War of the seventeenth century was

An all-out quarrel between those who supported Oliver Cromwell and those who liked the way the crown fit.

 In the midst of all this chaos was an Irish man named Colonel Thomas Blood. Blood was a flip-flop, pledging allegiance to any side that seemed to have the upper hand at the time, and eventually his allegiance to Cromwell fell. But all the time the blood was planning, and planning a plot to steal crown jewels from the fortified basement of the Tower of London. Pretending to be a chaplain, the blood became friendly with Talbot Edwards, the master of the Jewel House.

This kinship allowed Blood to eventually reach the basement, where he used a hammer to smash St. Edward's crown like a Gallagher watermelon, then grabbed the orb and placed it in his pants, presumably pausing to make cheeky jokes before cutting the cross scepter in two to facilitate transportation.

 Blood didn't have much time to celebrate his looting, as he and his accomplices were quickly captured by guards.

King Charles II ended up enjoying the whole thing and gave Blood a full pardon. The orb has been returned, and hopefully this will be done after it has been cleaned. No, we're not talking about when Johnny Cash recorded an album there.

 Marvin Lynn Osiri once spent time as a prison guard at Folsom Prison in California. We can imagine that it's the kind of place anyone wants to go back to, let alone sneak into.

 But that's exactly what Osri was doing in 2011, when guards using thermal imaging equipment discovered Osri hiding in the tall grass behind the facility. When asked, his excuse was that he was nostalgic.

In fact, the authorities thought it was all nonsense and thought he was most likely trying to smuggle contraband goods. Whatever his true intentions, he ended up charged with felony intrusion, and he didn't even get a song from it. So what do you think? Which of these horrific thefts were the most impressive?
