Jewel Thieves Create Perfect Alibi – 5 Million Euros Stolen

1.雙胞胎珠寶大盜製造完美不在場證明——盜走500百萬歐元的商品

10宗堪稱手法完美的犯罪(上)

On Feb 25, 2009, three masked robbers boldly busted into Kaufhaus Des Westens, the second largest depArtment store in Europe. Via a rope ladder, the men were able to ransack the main floor without tripping any sensors or alarms. But what may have been a fatal error – leaving behind a single glove – ended up creating a bizarre situation. DNA found on the glove matched TWO people: identical twins identified as Hassan and Abbas O. German law requires that each person be individually convicted and because their DNA is so similar, neither can be exclusively pinned to the evidence. German police were forced to set them both free, and the third man has yet to be found.

2009年2月25日,3名蒙面盜賊大膽地闖入歐洲第二大百貨公司——卡迪威百貨公司。盜賊利用繩梯,在沒有驚動感應器和警報器的情況下將主樓洗劫一空。但他們犯了個致命錯誤——遺留下一隻手套,但在這隻手套上發現的DNA製造了一個離奇的劇情,該DNA與兩個人匹配:同卵雙胞胎哈桑和阿巴斯·O。德國法律要求每個人都需要被單獨定罪,由於他們的DNA非常相似,這項證據不能明確指向他們中任何一個。德國警方不得不釋放了兩兄弟,而第三個人到現在也還沒被找到。

"DB" Cooper - $200,000 US – Only Unsolved Crime in US Aviation History

2.丹“DB”庫伯——20萬美元——美國航空史上唯一的懸案

10宗堪稱手法完美的犯罪(上) 第2張

He's the world's most famous fugitive. On the night before Thanksgiving, November 24, 1971, a passenger by the name of Dan Cooper boarded a plane in Portland, OR bound for Seattle. Clad in a suit and raincoat, wearing dark glasses and carrying a briefcase, he sat silently in the back of the plane. After calmly lighting a cigarette, he ordered a whiskey from the stewardess and then handed her a note. It read, 'I HAVE A BOMB IN MY BRIEFCASE. I WILL USE IT IF NECESSARY. I WANT YOU TO SIT NEXT TO ME. YOU ARE BEING HIJACKED.' He demanded $200,000 and four parachutes delivered to him in Seattle. When the plane landed, he released all the passengers, save for the pilot, co-pilot, and stewardess. Once the money was delivered in the middle of the brightly-lit tarmac, Cooper demanded the pilot take off for Mexico, flying at an altitude of 10,000 feet. Shortly after takeoff, over the mountains northwest of Portland, the six-foot-tall Cooper strapped on a parachute and jumped. He was never heard from again. Did he survive? In 1980, roughly $6000 was found of the money in bundles on a beach, but no signs of a body. The case remains open and is the only unsolved crime in US aviation history.

他是世界上最有名的逃犯。在1971年11月24日感恩節前夜,波特蘭一位名叫丹·庫伯的乘客登上飛機前往西雅圖。身穿西裝和雨衣,戴深色墨鏡並攜帶一個公文包,安靜地坐在飛機後排。沉着地點上一支菸,並向空乘要了一杯威士忌後遞給她一張紙條。上面寫着:“我的包裏有炸彈。如有必要,我會使用。我要你坐在我的旁邊。你們被劫機了。”他要求到了西雅圖之後給他送來20萬美元和4個降落傘。飛機着陸後,他除了2名飛行員和一名空乘外,釋放了所有乘客。在錢被送到明亮的跑道中間後,他要求飛行員立刻起飛前往墨西哥,並維持10000英尺的飛行高度。但起飛後不久,在波特蘭西北山區上方,身高6英尺的庫伯背上降落傘跳出了飛機,從此銷聲匿跡。他倖存下來了嗎?1980年,曾在沙灘上找到過幾捆現金,約有6000美元,沒有發現屍體。這起案子還處於調查中並且是美國航空史上唯一的懸案。

ner Museum Art Theft — $300 Million US

3.加德納博物館藝術品失竊——損失3億美元

10宗堪稱手法完美的犯罪(上) 第3張

On March 18, 1990, the day after Saint Patrick's Day, policemen arrived at the door of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, claiming to have received a call about a disturbance. Breaking protocol, the security officer let them in. One of the men said he had a warrant for the guard's arrest, and they convinced him to step away from his post. Bad move: the "policemen" were really criminals in disguise, and they quickly handcuffed him and ordered him to call the other guard to the front, who was also subdued. The thieves absconded with 13 paintings, including masterworks by Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Degas, worth a third of a billion dollars. To this date, no one has been arrested in conjunction with the crime, nor have the paintings ever been recovered. Call it the Luck of the Irish.

1990年3月18日,聖巴特里克節的第二天,警察來到了位於波士頓伊莎貝拉·斯圖爾特·加德納博物館前,聲稱他們接到一個發生動亂的報警電話。安保人員違反了程序,直接讓他們進來了。其中一個警察說他們有對這位安保人員的逮捕令,並讓他離開了崗位。安保的應對實在差強人意,這些“警察”其實是由真正的犯罪分子僞裝的,然後他們立刻把安保拷上,並讓他把其他人全都叫到前面,將所有安保人員一起制服。之後盜賊盜取13幅畫作後潛逃,其中有倫勃朗、維梅爾和德加的著作,價值超過3億美元。時至今日,還沒有嫌犯被逮捕,畫作也沒有找回來。這可能就叫做愛爾蘭式的幸運吧。

n's 300 Million Yen Robbery

4.三億日元劫案

10宗堪稱手法完美的犯罪(上) 第4張

Tokyo, Japan, December 10, 1968 – A Nihon Shintaku Ginko Bank car, transporting 300 million Yen ($817,000 US) in its trunk, is pulled over by a policeman on a motorcycle, who warns them of a bomb planted underneath. Since there had already been bomb threats against the bank, the four passengers exited the vehicle as the uniformed patrolman inspected below the car. Moments later, smoke and flames could be seen under the vehicle, causing the men to run for cover. Of course, it turned out the smoke was from a flare and the cop was a phony. He jumped in the car and sped off with the loot. Even though there were 120 pieces of evidence, 110,000 suspects and 170,000 police investigators, the man was never caught. In 1975, the statute of limitations ended, and in 1988 all civil liabilities were voided, but still no one 'fessed up. Come on now, this would make an incredible Movie-of-the-Week!

日本,東京,1968年12月10日——一輛裝載着3億日元(817000美元)的日本東京信託銀行運鈔車,被一名騎着摩托車的警察攔下,警察警告他們運鈔車底被安放了炸彈。由於這家銀行之前已經收到了炸彈威脅,車上的4名押鈔員在巡警檢查車底時下了車。不一會,車底下就冒出了煙霧和火光,押鈔員急忙跑開找掩護。當然了,煙霧是用照明彈發出的,警察也是假的。假警察跳上車,載着一車錢飛馳而去。儘管存在120條證據、抓獲110000名嫌疑人和投入170000名警力,也沒有抓到這個盜賊。法定訴訟時效1975年過期,民事責任也在1988年失效,但還是沒有人出來坦白。趕緊出來坦白吧,這要是改編成電影肯定能大賣!

d's Largest Diamond Heist — $100 Million US?

5.世界上最大的鑽石劫案——價值1億美元?

10宗堪稱手法完美的犯罪(上) 第5張

It's the largest diamond heist in history from the world's most impenetrable vault, located in Antwerp, Belgium. Two floors below the Diamond Centre, it was protected by a lock with 100 million possible combinations, as well as heat/motion sensors, radar, magnetic fields, and a private security force. On the weekend of Feb 15, using a series of moves that would make Danny Ocean jealous, the thieves were able to silently enter the vault, bust open the safe deposit boxes, and make off with the glittering loot. And although the purported ring leader Leonardo Notarbartolo was caught and sentenced to 10 years, he has since been released on parole. Notarbartolo claimed in an interview in Wired Magazine that the true take was only $20 million and was part of a larger conspiracy involving insurance fraud. Whatever — the loot was never recovered and everybody literally made off like bandits.

比利時安特衛普最不可入侵的保險庫發生過歷史上最大的一次鑽石劫案。保險庫位於鑽石中心地下2層,開門的密碼有1一億種組合,還裝有紅外/運動感應器,雷達,磁場感應器以及一支私人安保人員。在2月15日的一個週末,盜賊們悄無聲息地進入了保險庫,動作之輕柔靈活,恐怕連丹尼·奧森也會爲之嫉妒。他們打開了存儲櫃,帶着閃亮的戰利品逃出生天。儘管當局逮捕了所謂的主要策劃者萊昂納多·諾塔巴託羅,並把他判處10年徒刑,但他一直處於假釋中。諾塔巴託羅在《連線》雜誌的採訪中,聲稱盜走的數額僅有2千萬美元,整件事其實是一個更大的陰謀——保險詐騙。不管怎樣,不僅鑽石到現在都還沒有找回來,還讓每個人都背上了盜賊的嫌疑。
