Boston art heist still intrigues



>>> i live in massachusetts most of the time and that means that i, like all people who live in massachusetts, have been slightly obsessed with an art heist that happened there in 1990 . thieves dressed like boston cops made off with 13 works of art from the isabella stewart gardener museum in boston . art valued at a half billion dollars. the fbi thinks that these guys were the culprits. february last year, an alleged connecticut mobster was arrested on weapons and drug charges and the fbi thought at the time that maybe he would fess up to being connected to the heist. he did not fess up. and a search of his house found none of the stolen art. this year, this march, the fbi came out to say they had new leads in this case. they offered a $5 million reward for the return of the art work. meanwhile, that connecticut mobster is scheduled to be sentenced tomorrow on other charges that are not related to the art heist , but every time he appears in public, somebody hopes that this time he's going to fess up to saying what happened to that $500 million worth of art stolen from boston . obsessions with art heists are fun. every once in a while when you're obsessed with some pre-existing heist, an even shinier heist comes along to distract you, one that gets solved. that's coming up
