On Easter weekend, 2015 in London, millions of pounds in jewels, gold, and cash disappeared in what

quickly became the biggest burglary in British history. The suspects were not what you'd expect.

They weren't some slick Ocean's Eleven crew. It was actually a bunch of men in track suits who

should have been planning their retirements, not a robbery. The press would later dub them the bad grandpa's, and what they pulled off was bold and clever,

but of course didn't go quite the way they hoped.

Hey guys, and welcome to the Moms and Mysteries podcast, a true crime podcast featuring myself, Mandy, and my dear friend Melissa. Hi, Melissa. Hi, Mandy. How are you? I'm doing well. I'm doing well. I was going to say it feels like a manic Monday, but it's actually not Monday at all. It's Friday. The complete opposite of Monday. Yeah. I mean, it's still sort of manic. So we're recording this on Friday going into Labor Day weekend, which is, it's not that Labor Day weekend is really hectic. It's just that it's a three-day weekend. So in my brain, it feels hectic for some reason, even though it should feel like more of a break. But it never ends up being that way.

So, yeah, we don't have too much plan for this weekend.

What about you guys, Melissa?

you went to Costco this morning. I will not be going to Costco the next three days because I know

people just, it's like a freaking holiday weekend and people just lose their minds. I can't do it.

I'll be home. For sure. Yeah. Yeah, I did go to Costco this morning, but I actually got in. I get to go at nine instead of 10 when they open because I have an executive membership. I do too. I didn't know I could do that. Girl, yes. You can go at 9 a.m. Only executive members go at 9 a.m. So I went this morning. I was in and out. I was able to get in. I got everything I needed. I was out of there within like 15 minutes. It was amazing. Okay. Yeah. Well, then maybe I will be going there for this weekend. Oh, I didn't know that. Or maybe I did and I just forgot. But yeah. My gosh, Melissa. Yes. Yes. Well, thank you for teaching me. You're so welcome. That is definitely one of those things that you want to know.

That and the hot dog and drink.

I'm... Yes. Well, thank you for teaching me. You're so welcome. That is definitely one of those things that you want to know.

That and the hot dog and drink. I'm a fan.

All right. So today we're heading across the pond to London for a story that is part comedy, part tragedy, and of course all true, true crime.

This is the story of the Hatt and Garden Heist, and this case captured worldwide

attention when it happened, not just because of the actual scale of the theft itself, which is

quite large, but because of who was behind it. When police finally revealed the burglars were
