  Buried Ledger — The Empty Frames

  <p>In 1990, two men dressed as police officers rang the night bell at Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and walked out with thirteen works of art now valued at more than $500 million. More than three decades later, the frames still hang empty, the reward is still open, and the paintings have never come home. This episode traces the eighty-one-minute robbery, the strange choices the thieves made, and the long investigation into a crime where the stolen objects became too famous to sell and too valuable to forget.</p>

  Buried Ledger — The Night Mail Job

  Aug 8, 20261h 6mS0

  <p>In August 1963, a Glasgow-to-London Travelling Post Office train was stopped in the English countryside by a false red signal. The gang that followed stole around 2.6 million pounds in banknotes, but the legend of the Great Train Robbery often hides the violence done to driver Jack Mills, second man David Whitby, and the postal workers on duty. This episode follows the false signal, the High Value Package carriage, Bridego Bridge, Leatherslade Farm, the Monopoly-board evidence, the huge investigation, and the way a celebrated heist exposed a national system's quiet security failures.</p>
