Summary

The Italian Job. The Usual Suspects. Ocean's 11. Everyone loves a good heist film. But would anyone be dumb enough to actually try to pull one off on their own. On December 17th of 2004, four college students in Lexington, KY did just that. In attempting to steal rare, valuable books from the Transylvania University library, they tased a librarian, met a black market dealer from Amsterdam, and tried to live out their own real life heist movie. So just how did they get caught? And what would cause four men in their early 20's to risk so much? This is True Crimecast.
