It is no more I tell you to introduce to you Mr. Morris Carter, director of the Isabella Stewart

Gardner Museum, Ben Wakehart, Boston.

It was a wise provision of Mrs. Gardner's will that no work of art should be added to

or removed from her collection.

So about the time that he begins putting the duct tape on he says this is a robbery.

I mean to trash a museum like that it was just like the barbarians had been through.

I mean to pull frames off the wall and shatter the glass.

They spent 81 minutes in the museum which is inordinately long time for a theft of anything

never mind art.

There's absolutely no question they knew the police weren't coming.

The artwork involved was from Rembrandt, it was from Vermeer.

It is the holy grail of art theft.

500 million euros worth of paintings.

When I broke all the glass and everything in there I felt real bad about that.

You know I was like a pony soprano.

I had other womas, I had the money, the cars, the nice clothes.

In my neighborhood I was a star.

Two guys go in, they get two, three hundred million in paintings, nobody gets hurt, what's better

than that?

It's been more than 28 years since 13 artwork stolen from Boston's Isabella Stewart

Gardner Museum or last scene.

Nearly half a billion dollars worth of art gone.
