one of the many success stories from a bastion of biodiversity. st. helena starts november 18th on d. w. ah. berlin, march, 2017. 3 hooded men walked down a train station platform on their way to a spectacular nighttime high their target. a giant gold coin, aunt called. they entered directly via a window, died and dresden, 2019. 2 men break into a historic collection of royal jewelry and steal a priceless horde of centuries, old artifacts, and biden. in both cases, we have to assume that the perpetrators were interested solely in the material value being the task of retrieving stolen. our treasures can involve paying a substantial ransom beyond enjoy valuables and we have the money and they want the

money. we want the valuable is a little risk. big reward, museums are being repeatedly targeted by thieves who lack of conscience loss due sounding and all feel ashamed. i don't, i don't even apologize. dresden, in eastern germany, in the heart of the cities historic center lie the residential loss for almost 4 centuries. it symbolized the power and wealth of saxon royalty, stephanie called to huff is a journalist, specializing an art crime and is familiar with the precious artifacts stored here in one of europe's most renowned collections. but just at least no such loss of the happened. his palace was a residence for electors and kings, including augustus the strong. and it also housed the treasury by emotion. i saw it was a place of both political and cultural activity,

not on monday with an incredibly valuable collection of items. today the palace is a museum, it's treasures now belonging to the public rather than a prince. it's one of germany's most popular art collections, attracting around $700000.00 visitors every year. in november, 2019, it hit the headlines when the famous green vault was the scene of the biggest artist in germany's history of unimed, his offence, the humbly tater. evidently the thieves removed 3 of these diamond shaped metal bars in advance, but from 4, using a hydraulic cutter. all excused and temporarily put them back in place. always ought to be done. this was a day or 2 before the actual theft. 40 my confusion, the bars had been re touched and using just glue hard huckman to so it was easy to remove them on the night itself. house named couldn't the palace, including the green vault, is open to the public while scouting the area beforehand. the burglars identified

a weak spot, the windows on the ground floor when they returned in the early hours of november 25th 2019. all they had to do was remove the previously detached metal grill and break open the window behind it. once inside, the thieves had free reign of the green vault and its priceless contents. b. christina and dim since the dish the right by the window with the thieves broken by 1000 lawns and i got homes and outside as the grilled that they cut apart chestnut and border giving them direct access to the treasury chamber it or since that you liked and you shots it's believed that 2 thieves entered the green vault through the window. the treasures there have been on display ever since augustus the strong, opened his collection to visitors. in 1724. the sticklett uses as the hall of

treasurers archive, which again shows the diverse range of items collected by the monarch spec. done was because the thieves weren't entrusted in nautilus goblets or ostrich eggs, which guns hauled. he quickly passed through this room on their way to the jewelry room stetson. the thieves came prepared, they knew exactly which route to take, making their way through the coat of arms room before arriving at their destination, the jewelry round. working against the clock, they broke through the display case with an axe. ah, housed in the jewelry room, are sets of jewels matching stones commissioned by augustus the strong. now missing quite a few pieces. ah. it isn't clean, was in the viet floods the parallel. these display cases contain priceless pearls and jewelry belonging to sucks and monarchs summit at which they collected both for

their own prestige and as an investment. because this is what the thieves were after him and hutton thus is thus, it's you dated august. he is in the following safety protocol, security guards called police, but did not intervene in minutes. the thieves smashed through the display case and grab 22 items. the burglars disappeared into the night and with them, priceless pieces of history ah, group is always godless of their value, gold or diamonds that can never be recreated and they won't have the same ora of the same pieces that augustus the strong might have held in his hand not got it ah, belt buckles. swords broaches and buttons dawned by kings and adorned by figures throughout history their worth far greater than their material value.

ah, marianna ackerman is the director of dresden state art collections. her job involves 2 distinct responsibilities, both protecting the collection and presenting it to the public actually state. the ultimate question is, how far do we go in terms of security v f here? how many more millions do we need to invest? good enough may, and of course these are issues that concern our colleagues everywhere in the time, not just in germany and could dig in in, in, in, was in the field. osh lentil, the break in that the green vault and the loss of important historical artifacts weighs heavily on ackerman, the icon. oh, okay. i was confident that it will be returned to us. we did to look common vote

with all parts of it, at least, and bundled the fast cases suggest it might take quite a while but, but the main thing is to keep on hoping hoffman. we also get 4300 diamonds were stolen in the dresden heist a high profile case involving 3 prosecutors, then 40 special investigators tarver moaned on the baltic sea. here private investigator use of flesh is taking an unconventional roads to getting the treasures back. negotiating directly with the thieves the and in to had the valuables and we ended the money and they want the money we want the valuables. shortly after the robbery, he posted this video online offering a reward of over 1000000 euros for the return of the dressed and jewels. i'll shoot if she says a skate offered her. this money is exclusively for returning the jewels intact. to

charge you with a guaranteed payout guarantee. yet that is, as kate hospitals built, eventually the reward grew to 5000000 euros, provided by an anonymous art collector bishop, his own a. this is someone who appreciates art, it's a hobby of their z. what? and they want to see these valuables back where they belong in the museum in dresden. and this was he unlocked the list. the private investigator says his job was to find the jewels. not the thieves doing business with criminals is usually frowned upon, offering 5000000 euros to buy back. stolen goods could be seen by some as unethical . dom was baton buzz when he thought they did. what you don't do a burglary property damage. they still valuable things going on because there were more than 3. it's a gang theft funding. that's all it is. i mean there's no life sentence or anything like that. so i think that's morally defensible. come on what alleys? for antoinette, less than a year after the heist, his plan seemed to be working best as he was contacted by the thieves looking to

return the jewels. mcgovern, to me, the handover is pretty much sorted. this life you think i never got a bill. i can't say, but given the negotiations and my own experience to shift things are looking on as long as isn't see a positive for week. in november 2020 bash was confident. the dresden jewels would soon return ransom for stolen our treasures in the form of a table stalked with cash was a new concept for stephanie called a half to the sweat under port front with others. i took him up for a private sector. bit like this is rare, unsurprisingly, no matter what is it still reeked, and normally the thieves will contact the aggrieved party about an offer. in fact, not on the board, but some one going public, literally putting money on the table is pretty unusual from tish, made it all by once. and that's because of the unique nature of the saxon moral treasury artist, kind of, he's a 6th from start shots. us was, i'm cold,

a half has spent years writing about art crime. germany alone sees an average of 4 work stolen every day. one factor, he says, is that art is becoming increasingly expensive and lucrative as it needs all figured it would have excavation, unquote. there's never been so much money in the arc markets, as gallery owners, an auction houses will tell you, arkansas and kind of sins me when banks offer 0 interest. and you already have enough villas, and yachts and pricey watches in having a bank see or a vanguard of god. richter on the wall becomes a starter symbol holder and gather a stipend of hunting. and that's something people with enough money are willing to pay a lot of money for it, right. see as executor fellows took him eager are investors can be found at events like art basil. the fair brings together the worlds of art and financed with wheeling and dealing conducted over

champagne. and oysters for bothers that are for you the this is your typical basil crowd. the are tier ranges from classical modern to contemporary. well, so that attracts young and old collectors, not through the humor the others. i'm the women's, i'm not is it for the wasn't was here the week long art basil fare features paintings, sculptures and photos from around 270 gallery. among them. this work by influential american artists. jean michel bask. yeah. cook mcmillan, this is priced at $40000000.00. there have been vasquez that cost a lot more money than this. some larger in size. so, but for this 140000000 is set in stone both. oh, new york born john michelle desk. yeah. was the 1st black artist to break into the otherwise white dominated western art market. prices for his works have risen dramatically since he died at just 27 in 1988. this is in climate

for marco. this is a smaller work that went for the asking price of $3000000.00 and the 1st day because of that. so marks are subject to aggressive competition, pamela davis, and as or on some collectors, no a piece like this will be on show and basil, they are determined to turn up right when the fair opens by that the here. because the 2nd it's on the wall, it's on sale. what was on the 1st come? first serve 1st come 1st serve. and those commercial forces seem to know know bounce in 2019 global art market sales topped 57000000000 euros. there are a range of factors behind the continuous growth and investment. low interest rates, a real estate slump, and the risky nature of the stock market was covered as woman annoyed to go during the initial boon. the 1990s, it was primarily japanese buyers slapping of everything at galleries. and auctions, laws are good plus the more but they all sold after the real estate bubble burst

back home of the mark. and after a brief, low prices shot up again with the emergence of new bar markets like cliff america to come after the fall of communism. you had a lot of very rich russians in the yeltsin era. discovering the arch market, the, the quote for the opening up of china also generated a lot of extremely well funded collectors of that. and that new boom never really ended before the a boon that does not only attract le, didn't collectors and investors as elsewhere where there's money to be made. there's criminal activity. emily ebbing house works for the world's largest private database of looted art and antiques. her job is to track down and recover works that have been stolen. economists, i can't provide specific figures here, but there must be 2 to 5000 bucks on show here 5, and the chances of their being nothing here deserving a closer look. cross are extremely slim. manion cochran was sincere,

they're giving ebbing house is an art historian, specializing in the origin of artworks and other cultural assets. and a large number of stolen works do end up back on the arc market. probably monday. the of mess, veins and some i'm an art fez. we often encounter classic theft where most exhibitors genuinely believe they have an intimate work until we say sorry, but this was stolen 10 or 15 years ago. the fence and yan my story vaughn. and that happens with both old paintings niles and works from the 19 sixty's or eighty's. my father is ebbing house and her colleagues that art last register, scour all the major fares for stolen merchandise and make regular catches any paintings, sculptures and photos up for sale at such events. first, have to have their origin and history verified. how shall i leave that him at my

hybrid? i've had cases of people screaming at me for half an hour because we found some things with us. it can be awkward, but ultimately the fat organizers say they don't want anything that shouldn't be on sale here for legal or ethical reasons. and exhibitors have to comply on demands present, misses, dalrish. they're letting them out. every year. art loss register solves around $200.00 cases of stolen art. art the is often face a major problem. while their haul is extremely valuable, it is often and sellable. so why do criminals continue to target museums and galleries? dear? i'm foster gone, toford as quince good. fortunately, the immediate reason is utterly been now and at the same time shocking. so just because they can do us debug, i mean a lot criminals can tell how per the security is at public collections. got it from the his unknown because it hits him feeder, tater monitor. yes. and a lot of the moni think later about what to do with their hall and then wonder how

they're going to be able to get rid of it. so they have to approach the owner to monday ransom what's called to arch, nothing, not lose a good, and that's exactly what happened at an internationally renowned frankfurt gallery in 1994. the churn const holler enjoys frequent collaborations with the likes of the pompidou center and new york's museum of modern art. at the time it was featuring to works by english painter, william turner shade, and darkness, and light and colors ah tater. that leaves locked themselves inside him dominates the shin, had decided not to have surveillance cameras for financial reasons that are believing it could insure security. using other options. with the building deserted, they overpowered the guards and tied them up. professor, after removing the arch from the wall, they fled via a side exit in the direction of the cathedral, stood before driving off,

and van met item climb plans after eventually being able to free themselves. the guards triggered the alarm and then you had as always, police investigators at the crime scene. wondering who could be responsible for the vacant excavations on news of the theft was met with shot in germany, britain and across the international art seen as images of the empty walls were published. frankfurt police launched a terminal investigation over in london. the disappearance of the to turner's left, the british art world stunned. they'd been on loan from the cities, tate gallery, one of the world's major collections of modern and british art. at the time sandy nairn was the tate's director of programs to turn to none of july 1994. that is sunday says always in my mind and it was

nicholas serrato, the director of tate. and he said, we have this terrible news from frankfurt, and i realized i was only just awake. it was very early in the morning. i couldn't, it was very hard to take in what he was saying. but he explained that the news had come, that these 2 paintings had been stolen from the shan kristela. 3 years later, 2 members of the yugoslav, mafia were convicted for the shirt, break in each sentence to several years in jail. the paintings themselves, however, remained at large. the works in question are beloved in britain, their english creator, joseph mallard, william turner, is considered his country's foremost painter of the romantic era. his style of depicting the elements of fire, water and light, is still today considered revolutionary. it is quite difficult to say how important j m w turner is to the idea of british painting. he

is the kind of way of thinking of british painting becoming something. i'm in the we're artists before turner, but really he changes the whole of british art. and he, at the end of his life, he himself decided to make a collection of particular paintings to give to the nation nerin and his colleagues from the tate did. all they could detract down the 2 works. he made repeated trips to germany to talk to authorities while also holding press conferences on the paintings possible whereabouts. 5 years after the theft, an attorney who had contacts within the frankfurt criminal community, reached out. and he said, i have important information. i have information from people who know where the paintings are. so of course we were very suspicious with you know,

how do you have information, what is this and for it, we've had many, many false leads. i mean, one of the things that emerged was a sense that criminality leads to more criminality. ah, the tate gallery resorted to negotiating with the criminals. it took until the year, 2002 and a half 1000000 euros for the deal to proceed near and flew to frankfurt and took art expert roy perry with him. yet to know that it was the painting. and then what if it had been a copy for if it had been a fake, had been brought back. and so it was crucial that i could say to roy perry, you must examine his 1st. and he had the right recalls he had the right photographs . but he looked at it and we were waiting. and then he said, he said it's like missing an old friend. and he knew that was the turner.

oh, in total, the teeth spent around $4000000.00 euros to recover the paintings. but the strategy of doing business with criminals would prove problematic. vince and crew from 2 minutes when a knocked snapping job like this works, we don't actually get caught and collect a lot of money via middleman. then of course, that's an incentive for, of the thieves to do a to tater. so it was not, it was a story in the media, not just in germany, but world wide front of that is tutoring when the pictures resurfaced. that's the beauty of you, that of, of the tate was pretty open about having paid money. although that was never any mention of a ransom because they just said it was for information leading to the recovery. advisor did some more award than a ransom in a balloon or in terms of museum security. every successful case is a disaster, museums issued on z for the tate gallery. it was

a total success for the because they're got their paintings back approved him. he'll be little the com, london, the british capital, and the center of the countries art world accounting for around 15 percent of global turnover. the british art market is ranked 3rd after china and the u. s. london is also the headquarters for amalie ebbing house and the art last register. the database for stolen antiques and works of art in its quest to find missing art and return it to its rightful owners. the company works with art dealer's insurance firms and international police investigators. vasquez and vassar saunderson said this is a work we've had here for years that has still to be returned to its owner. anything i'm from us. we're in move the van and deep style. it was the theft we

worked with, the dutch police on ham diesel, zagging m d t t as i to come at. they took care of the perpetrator side who stole it while we're involved in the objects himself and who it needs to go back to that to take a look. the painting was stolen in the netherlands years ago. it too, has been documented in the art loss register, a record of missing art from all around the world. more than 30 years in the making me including works that were plunder during war and the colonial era. he had me guest on the face even as a database now has around $700000.00 items that were looking for on practically a daily basis. and we get new items every day. as of right now, during the covered pandemic, there's not so much aren't being stolen, but clocks and jewelry. yes, we currently add between $5.50 objects

a day object. and so a moment the stolen jewels from the green vault and dresden are also registered in the database. with each individual element accompanied by a photo and a detailed description, the precious items have yet to resurface. although ebbing house is confident, it will happen some day. and feed, as i can come, some objects hit the market incredibly quickly, which means been taken across the border or to via germany or switzerland and being immediately sought. i coughed order all. they stay put for a really long time and don't appear on the market until maybe 30. he is later master art lovers around the world. hope the items stolen from the dresden royal palace will eventually turn up. perhaps with the help of the art loss register.

but years after the heist, the joules are still missing. the hope is they haven't been broken apart and sold off piece by piece. dresden police, along with private interested parties, set up a special commission to find the jewels. if a gun i took good site this mind as i know, madison from past experience. sometimes the state of vested gaiters are successful, sometimes to private parties. what matters for me is that they communicate with each other, not when it does limit and on that they need to work as one instead of giving the perpetrators the feeling that they can just settled financially with the private side in that. so need not worry about committing a crime model. if my kind of duncan, delaware does, he has propped open the gate. stressed in september 2021. the display case in the green vault has long been repaired, but the loss is still keenly felt. there are gaping holes in the exhibit where the jewels once were. lou private investigator joseph rash had

offered 5000000 euros to buy back the stolen jewels. before long he received an anonymous phone call from someone claiming to have them as to threaten one hm. with the 1st meeting was in hamburg, roosevelt v. i won't say howlin on the slides of other in the 2nd one was here, and badge for towel where i was approached in the car parkway of impact that's always grown low. so began the most difficult part, negotiating the handover. evidently, yoseph crash was himself being watched by the criminals. the man told him to come to another location a few hours later in a remote wooded area. yep, nicky proctor frequent don't you can't say, can i see some my d no way the civic is broken. i deliberately parked my car in a way that insured they can see him on my own hospital. so get packed as he does equal melina. i took my jacket off the show, i didn't have a phone or

a wire here. good. either. you have to be completely open than to give off when the meeting, which took place in 2020, focused on how the exchange. what happened? this asked up front for proof that they actually had the jewels and i'm shoes or hobby, shown them to the conversation ended up lasting, less than a half an hour. and then he showed it to me with us like attacked. the man had a photo up, one of the pieces with a current edition of a well known magazine of to tight shift is st. front of the magazine. you could see his hand on holding these jewels or dizzy was one photo. the get the ta again into she was showing that he had the jewels in the on the date was from august 2020 in august 2000 sponsor. the private investigator was satisfied that the middleman did indeed have access to the green vall, jules,

the man would return them and collect 5000000 euros flesh, then had to wait to be contacted again by the criminals, with details on the exchange. but events then took a different turn november 2020 a year on from the dresden heist berlin. police carried out one of the biggest series of coordinated raids in the country's history. the operation involved over 1600 police officers searching 18 properties and arresting a number of suspects members of a notorious crime family. but while the authorities celebrated the arrests, there was still no sign of the jewels themselves. the man who had been contacting joseph vash, went silent, and a gush decided to change his strategy and turn up the pressure. the 5000000 euro ransom was now up for grabs for any one providing information,

leading to the jewels, the fulfillment cons a heater, cuz he and the 5000000 could be collected by any person who had a solid tip off one that led to a successful outcome didn't image present in was grouped or december 4th. but there was no response either from the thieves or any one with insider knowledge. the priceless dresden jewelry was still missing. the buddha museum in berlin. part of a group of galleries known as museum island, a world heritage site. it houses a diverse collection of sculptures, medals, and coins message from vietnam. it really is a phenomenal collection and nutrition by the idea for displaying everything. one place came from phil him from boda, who was one of the 1st directors of the berlin museums, the others command, because the kaiser and the state museums had a long history of collecting coin seen that includes a lot of precious items made of gold as well with your most quotes, in 2010,

the boat museums, welcome to very special edition to its collection. a big maple leaf, the largest coin in the world, weighing in at 100 kilos of pure gold worth, more than 4000000 euros on loan from a private owner in dusseldorf. the huge coin quickly became a major visitor. attraction. the spouse from a prestige item for the buddha museum has was unrivalled with just 7 of them in the entire world, and been far too expensive for a public museum to actually buy he lives so they must have been delighted to get it as a loan goblet so the big may believe spent 7 years on display at the boat, a museum, it's sheer size and financial value gave the coin an irresistible appeal. and not just for our lovers. at sunrise, at 3 a, m. 3 young men came up the stairs at the half ish remarked station, just over there. listen,

i'm with no trains running at that time of nights on foot. there was no risk of dropping down onto the trucks close by to lunch dog. and from there, it was just a couple minutes walk to the boat, a museum. this is footage from the train station security cameras, which shows 3 men walking down the platform. clearly intent on keeping their faces hidden. it's a force and from there they went across to railway bridge, right in between the boat, a museum, and the pergola museum with us param, williams in by not after putting up a letter at the light. and they were able to enter via a window that had no alarm, no security, and wasn't covered by a camera hoisted buffer. i thought i'm starting. the key to entry was the remains of a bridge that used to connect the 2 museums. a protrusion, the thieves made the most of with a letter the window had no security alarm,

and behind it, a staff room. the thieves made their way about a 100 meters through the building. before reaching their goal. the biggest gold coin on the planet. to retrieve only switzer to the display case wasn't hard to break open. instead they threw everything at the window, thinking it had all be melted down. anyway, it was enough. they then took the same way back via that bridge to the spark, and then made their get away in a car of all sorts of wood. i'm altogether from a classic heist. but how could petty thieves seize the biggest and most valuable coin on the planet? his shirts larger than indoor chosen is not v sherman museums have then, as now a pretty pathetic security set up as quinn of it, whether it's the boat museum or the green vault and dresden shots taken the investment in deterrent measures as shockingly low on business of texas, there was another case with the museum island, where someone's sprayed oil and exhibits, and refreshments were just

a handful of commerce for the food. sa, hardly state of the art, but the stuff in the state of the art, move security failures that have one particular man shaking his head. boris foxman, the 75 year old dusseldorf art collector is the rightful owner of the now famous gold coin. with insides on, it's something you grow to love and is part of the family for can do for me. proud possession them. and what thought this mother, though, if her walburn hug childrens a part of my heart is missing, as we say, that a major item in my collection, a victim. when his own footman is the son of an art and an stealer, he developed a special relationship to art at an early age. to day, he possesses a collection that he's reluctant to show on camera for security reasons. foxman bought the coin for around 3 and

a half 1000000 euros back in 2010. not long after he was contacted by the boda museum, the curators were preparing an exhibition called gold giants, and hope to have his me belief as the highlight. bishop longer believed, i didn't hesitate long. i thought, yes, i'd love for people to be able to see the coin. this is such a rare object needs to be on display for the public mozilla than the psych rather. his emotional pain is accompanied by financial loss. a berlin court rule that security lapses meant his insurance only had to pay half the official value missing since 2017. the coin is something he doesn't expect to ever see again that the school? no, i don't think so. it's unlikely that over to find more in there,

only in my dreams are on t v and fortunately that ah berlin police have dedicated a division of the force to art theft, headed by renee a launch. his office could be mistaken for a gallery except all the works on display. here are forgeries. a laws also worked on the stolen gold coin case dna found at the crime lead investigators to a berlin based crime family wilmonson. you helped us mum desired anson from you. we 1st had to take a close look at this family to work up the internal connections who are the big figures and what the dna told us is what a d. d. an ashburn for was a ha, indian colon, should i was the basis for our enquiries. and then we had a whole range of jobs, get stakeouts mit surveillance in preparing raids above a home and blighted ions. it's a forum. in february 2020,

a berlin court sentenced cousins vis um and act met remo to 4 and a half years in jail. the 2 men refused to comment on the whereabouts of the coin which was likely melted down. it's not just steve's trying to cash in on the booming art market. the evidence room at berlin police headquarters is brimming with seized forgeries, including the work of master forger, wolfgang bell. tuchee. a launch has learned how to spot a fake them when this fish flings with one of the few hold it up to the light. you can see a point where the cameras is really fin due to rubbing off is in which is very a typical for the artist in could law. that of guns under luncheon, he worked on completely different materials and the rubbed away canvas always tells us that someone wants us to think it's an old canvas, f up the show in the i to line bundled with such a launch is one of the world's leading art detectives and has come to understand

why art is now such hot property, quincy, south and into santas. art is an interesting medium that you can make a lot of money. westcan quince looked olsh, but art also attract speculators, which is why there are so many fraud cases i'm in the get up on myself. but for most perpetrators, there's also the special attraction, the challenge of stealing a world famous work of art with high security as bus i live, it can fly thoughts who steal in it, or that's an incentive lights, or some d dunn's or she totten begin, in most cases, it's about stealing the object and then turning it into money gets, ah, amsterdam. not only the dutch capital, but also one of europe's leading cultural centers. a city famed for its rich, artistic heritage. people flock to visit the galleries here most because they want to see the art but others because they want to steal it. ah,

of i still sounding and all feel ashamed. i don't, i don't even apologize. everybody was. busy oh, was with him, a neighborhood stole they stole car radios, vice that it burglaries and that is nobody him and i was it i what are you doing? ok, tape durham talks, frankly, about his previous life. as an art thief, he gained notoriety after successfully breaking into the cities. ben, go museum. in 2002. i was walking past a museum and i looked at a ride in as a hey, was said on the roof and that's why i did it. it was the opportunity a window on the roof. the seasoned burglar had identified a weak spot. he then returned with an accomplice at night and left with 2 works by vincent van gogh the daring break in was headline news in the netherlands. it's something you have
