As one thief wrote on the armored vault of a bank he'd just emptied:
"Without weapons or violence and with no hate." Stealing a world-famous
piece of art from a museum or snatching diamonds under 24-hour
surveillance: there is a certain fascination for impressive robberies.
And the world has seen some truly legendary ones. Famous Robberies tells
the real adventures of those who walked through walls and did the
impossible. It introduces the perpetrators of infamous hits like the
Great Train Robbery, the Antwerp diamond heist, or the Citibank Hack.
With chapters designed in retro-newspaper style, this book will
fascinate children for historical events as much as for the
investigations and reporting around them.
