Art thieves and ransoms - The murky world of stolen art | DW Documentary
Artwork, jewels: Every year, art thieves steal precious objects that are worth millions. But stolen art can rarely be re-sold. That’s why it’s often ransomed, instead. Investigators call this practice "artnapping”.
"Artnapping” is when museums, insurance companies or private owners are blackmailed into paying millions of euros in ransom for the safe return of their belongings.
These artworks can be hard for the authorities to track down. Take the case of the methodical thieves who robbed Dresden’s famous Green Vault museum: In November 2019, two burglars broke in to the Dresden Castle. They stole historical treasures and fled, long before the police arrived. More than 100 suspects have been arrested. But the royal jewels the thieves took from the glass displays that night? They’re still...

Stealing Millions as Teenage Art Thieves | Fakes, Frauds & Scammers
Chas Allen was one of four 19-year-old college students who carried out one of the most audacious art heists in U.S. history.
Their target: The Transylvania University Private Collections Museum -- home to a collection of some of the most valuable rare books and paintings in the world, including Charles Darwin’s On The Origin of Species. If successful, the theft would make each of the students a fortune.
As part of the plan (inspired by heist movies) each of the four students took on separate responsibilities: One created aliases and backstories to contact the library and auction houses. Another created false documents and disguises to make the group look like old men.
With Allen as a get-away driver, the students managed to get away with a number of items... But a series of stupid ...

Former Art Thief And Detective Rate 9 Art Heists In Movies And TV | How Real Is It? | Insider
Former burglar Octave "Oky" Durham and art detective Arthur Brand look at nine art-theft scenes from popular TV shows and movies and rate them based on realism. Octave Durham is no longer involved in criminal activity. Since he has reformed and spent time in prison, he works with detective Arthur Brand to solve international art and jewellery heists.
They look at "The Thomas Crown Affair" (1999), "The Monuments Men" (2014), "The Art of the Steal" (2013), "Topkapi" (1964), "Ocean's Twelve" (2004), "Dr. No" (1962), "Black Panther" (2018), "Hudson Hawk" (1991), and "The Blacklist" S2E14 (2015).
Could anyone walk out of a gallery with a piece of art? How are gallery security guards trained? Is gallery CCTV actually monitored? Do thieves ever abseil in from the ceiling? And does Interpol ac...

Some Banksy fans got a little greedy. The mysterious artist has been popping up with new work all over the city of London this past week, but one of them was reportedly stolen.

Hours later these photos were taken of a few masked people showing up to the site, with one of them removing the dish. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

Artwork, jewels: Every year, art thieves steal precious objects that are worth millions. But stolen art can rarely be re-sold. That’s why it’s often ransomed, instead. Investigators call this practice "artnapping”.
"Artnapping” is when museums, insurance companies or private owners are blackmailed into paying millions of euros in ransom for the safe return of their belongings.
These artworks can be hard for the authorities to track down. Take the case of the methodical thieves who robbed Dresden’s famous Green Vault museum: In November 2019, two burglars broke in to the Dresden Castle. They stole historical treasures and fled, long before the police arrived. More than 100 suspects have been arrested. But the royal jewels the thieves took from the glass displays that night? They’re still missing.
In 1994, two paintings by the British artist JMW Turner were stolen from the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt. After eight years and many detours, the pieces were returned to the Tate Gallery in London. But to get these prized possessions back, the museum had to make a deal with the robbers, paying five million euros in ransom. To this day, the people behind the crime remain unknown — and unpunished.
Boris Fuchsmann, on the other hand, has given up on ever finding his treasure again. The millionaire from Düsseldorf used to own one of the largest coins in the word. The "Big Maple Leaf” was made of pure gold and weighed 100 kilograms. The art collector loaned his coin, worth 3.7 million euros, to Berlin’s Bode Museum, where it was stolen in 2017. The robbers were found, but the coin is still missing: police suspect it was cut into pieces and melted down, as state investigators found gold dust on the thieves’ clothes.
These are among the world’s most spectacular cases. But they are probably only the tip of the iceberg, says Stefan Koldehoff, an art market expert and non-fiction writer specialized in art theft. The journalist believes the number of stolen artworks is far higher than official numbers show. After all, while prices on the art market have been skyrocketing for years, making looted artwork all the more valuable, the security systems at museums have grown completely outdated.

Chas Allen was one of four 19-year-old college students who carried out one of the most audacious art heists in U.S. history.
Their target: The Transylvania University Private Collections Museum -- home to a collection of some of the most valuable rare books and paintings in the world, including Charles Darwin’s On The Origin of Species. If successful, the theft would make each of the students a fortune.
As part of the plan (inspired by heist movies) each of the four students took on separate responsibilities: One created aliases and backstories to contact the library and auction houses. Another created false documents and disguises to make the group look like old men.
With Allen as a get-away driver, the students managed to get away with a number of items... But a series of stupid mistakes would lead to their downfall.
In a series of candid interviews, Fakes, Frauds & Scammers relives some of the most audacious scams and fraudulent stunts of our time from the mouths of the perpetrators themselves. Whether it’s money, fame or simply an addiction to lying, we find out what motivated these tricksters and whether the highs, lows and ramifications were worth it in the end.

Former Art Thief And Detective Rate 9 Art Heists In Movies And TV | How Real Is It? | Insider

Former burglar Octave "Oky" Durham and art detective Arthur Brand look at nine art-theft scenes from popular TV shows and movies and rate them based on realism. Octave Durham is no longer involved in criminal activity. Since he has reformed and spent time in prison, he works with detective Arthur Brand to solve international art and jewellery heists.
They look at "The Thomas Crown Affair" (1999), "The Monuments Men" (2014), "The Art of the Steal" (2013), "Topkapi" (1964), "Ocean's Twelve" (2004), "Dr. No" (1962), "Black Panther" (2018), "Hudson Hawk" (1991), and "The Blacklist" S2E14 (2015).
Could anyone walk out of a gallery with a piece of art? How are gallery security guards trained? Is gallery CCTV actually monitored? Do thieves ever abseil in from the ceiling? And does Interpol actively chase down stolen paintings?

Some Banksy fans got a little greedy. The mysterious artist has been popping up with new work all over the city of London this past week, but one of them was reportedly stolen. Banksy confirmed on social media that he spray painted a wolf on a satellite dish, giving the appearance of a wolf standing in front of a full moon. Hours later these photos were taken of a few masked people showing up to the site, with one of them removing the dish. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.
