0:00.0	This isn't your average business podcast and he's not your average host.
0:06.8	This is the James Altiger show.
0:12.9	Stockholm Art Museum robbed of $4 million in artwork, 10 under arrest.
0:18.5	That's the on top of the title of the book Heist and inside look at the world's 100
0:23.1	greatest Heist, CUNS and Capers by my good friend Pete Steeger-meyer. Pete, why'd you write
0:30.3	this book? I know we've talked about Heist before on the podcast. I know you're fascinated

1:45.2	Wait, are you out of shape? Like $100,000. That's 10 stacks of $10,000 in each stack is
