Description: An unlisted video of surveillance footage relating to the art heist at Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990 On 18 March 1990, two men dressed as Boston police gained entrance to the museum by telling a security guard that they were responding to a disturbance. The guard let them in. They handcuffed the guard, and his two other colleagues. Thirteen works of art were stolen from the museum, including paintings by Rembrandt and Vermeer. To this day these artworks have not been recovered. The main suspects are deceased. The FBI would like the public's help in identifying the man in the surveillance footage, who was an unauthorised visitor who entered the museum through the same door as the thieves, 24 hours before the heist. The museum is offering US$5 million for information leading to the recovery of the stolen artwork (assuming it is in good condition). The total amount of artwork stolen is estimated to be worth around US$500 million.
