whatever it takes believe from i'm following w. fire made for mines. ah berlin, march 2000, 173 hooded men walk 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, started dressed in 2019. 2 men break into a historic collection of royal jewelry and steel, a priceless hoard of centuries, old artifacts in bite and pay. in both cases, we have to assume that the perpetrators were interested solely and the material value being the task of retrieving stolen. our treasures can involve paying a substantial, ran the and endure valuables and we owe them money and they want the money. we want

to valuable is a little risk. big reward, museums are being repeatedly targeted by thieves who lack of conscience of are still 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 lies look as it inch. los for almost 4 centuries, it symbolized the power and wealth of saxon royalty. stephanie called a half, is a journalist, specializing an art crime and is familiar with the precious artifact stored here in one of europe's most renowned collections possessed at least much loss of the home . this palace was a residence for electors and kings, including augustus the strong. and it also housed the treasury by much when i saw it was a place of both political and cultural activity,

not on sunday 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 items. these are finster, how many tater. evidently the thieves removed 3 of these diamond shaped metal bars in advance, but from 4 using a hydraulic cutter alek sheet and temporarily put them back in place always, always with them. this was a day or 2 before the actual theft 40 microphone. the bars had been me attached and using the just glue hard huckman to so it was easy to remove them on the night itself. host name couldn't the palace, including the green vault is open to the public while scouting the area before and

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 at its priceless contents. indeed finster dish, right by the window with the thieves, broken by 1000 thornton i got owns an outside as the grill that they cut apart session border, giving them direct access to the treasury chamber the door since that you liked and you shut it's believed that 2 thieves entered the green vault through the window, the treasures there have been on display ever since august as the strong opened his collection to visitors in 1724. the 6 you will,

this is the hall of treasures archive, which again shows the diverse range of items collected by the monarch spec. done in spoke of the thieves weren't entrusted in nautilus goblets or ostrich eggs. voice guns hauled, he quickly passed through this room on their way to the jewelry rooms. johnson, 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 jewellery roamed 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 is in between was in the viet woods the parallel. these display cases contain priceless pearls and jewelry belonging to sucks and monarchs is on the touch,

which they collected both for their own prestige and as an investment. because this is what the thieves were after had that happen. best is thus it's you did it a good reason following safety protocol, security guards called police but did not intervene in minutes. the thieves smashed through the display case and grabbed 22 items. the burglars disappeared into the night and with them, priceless pieces of history ah, group, visualize godless of their value, gold or diamonds. they can never be recreated and you won't have the same ora of the same pieces that augustus the strong, might have held in his hand in hand captive ah, belt buckles, swords, roaches 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. so 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 in the mail? and of course, these are issues that concern our colleagues, every wagon and the time, not just in germany, including in, in, in, was in the field. osh lentil, the break in at the green vault and the loss of important historical artifacts weighs heavily on ackerman. the icon, oh okay. i was confident that it will returned to us. he did so

a common thought. all parts of it, at least in one of the fast cases suggests it might take quite a while. but, but the main thing is to keep on hoping how can we help get 4300 diamonds were stolen in the dresden haste. a high profile case involving 3 prosecutors and 40 special investigators tammond on the baltic sea. here, private investigator use of flesh is taking an unconventional approach to getting the treasures back, negotiating directly with the thieves, the and, and we had the valuables and we had 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 in jewels. elsie, she says, a skate offered her. this money is exclusively for returning the jewels intact to

georgia, with a guaranteed power guarantee. yet that is as good as for target. eventually the reward grew to 5000000 euros, provided by an anonymous art collector, bishop his own. and 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 and dresden, as was he, him novelist. 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 get on bus when he's told 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 against theft, and that's all it is. i mean, there's no life sentence or anything. so i think that's morally defensible. come on radish for antoine. less than a year after the heist his plan. see in to be working thus says he was contacted by

the thieves looking to return the jewels. mcgovern, sidney. the hanover's are pretty much sorted. it is life. you've been kindly but got a bill, i can't say. but given the negotiations on my own experiences, if things are looking on song z a positive for week in november 2020 bash was confident. the dresden jewels would soon return a 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 uncle trump with others. i took him up to it. a private sector . bit like this is rare, unsurprising phenomena visits to victor under. normally the thieves will contact the aggrieved party about an offer, in fact, not on the boarding, but someone going public is literally putting money on the table. is pretty unusual from tish, made it or to buy ones. and that's because of the unique nature of the saxon moral

treasury article. he's a successful starts shuts us to some cold, a half has spent years writing about art crime. germany alone sees an average of 4 worked 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 unquenchable. there's never been so much money in the art markets. as gallery owners, an auction houses will tell you, arkansas, kind of since may when banks offer 0 interest and you already have enough, phyllis and yachts and pricey watches in having a bank see or a vanguard. a grad richter on the wall becomes a starter symbol holder and gather he started hunting and that's something people with enough money are willing to pay a lot of money for it. right. he has a field of fellows, took him eager art investors can be found at events like art basil, the fair brings together the world of art and financed with wheeling and dealing

conducted over champagne and oysters. per bother of of a heavy this is your typical basil crowd. here the are tear ranges from classical modern to contemporary also data trucks, young and old collectors not through the human. the eyes is on the month. i'm not. is it for the 11th was here. the week long art basil fare features painting, sculptures and photos from around 270 galleries among them. this work by influential american artist john michelle. basque. yeah. perfect video and 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 with both 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. the from climate was for mark. this is a smaller work that went for the asking price of $3000000.00 and the 1st day had to go to the vet. so marks are subject to aggressive competition from levison does so on. some collectors know a piece like this will be on show and basil. they're determined to turn up right when the fair opens by the 15th. because the 2nd it's on the wall, it's on sale. on the 1st come 1st 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. discovery as women annoying to go during the initial boom. in the 1990s, it was primarily japanese buyers, slapping off everything at galleries and auctions, applause. that's the more but they all sold after the real estate bubble burst back

home, off the mark. and after a brief, low prices shot up again with the emergence of new bar markets, cough america to come after the fall of communism. you had a lot of very rich russians in the yeltsin era, discovering the arch markets, which for the opening up of china also generated a lot of extremely well funded collectors of and that's new boom. never really entered before the a boon that does not only attract legitimate collectors and investors. as elsewhere where there's money to be made. there's criminal activity on a li 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, and the chances of their being nothing here deserving a closer look, cross are extremely slim. manion cooking was that they're,

they're giving ebbing house is an art historian, specializing in the origin of artworks and other cultural assets from a large number of stolen works. do end up back on the arc market. probably monday. the of messen veins and some i'm at not fair. we often encounter classic theft where most exhibitors genuinely believe they have it to them at work until we say sorry, but this was stone and 10 or 15 years ago the 1st and yeah, 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 loss register. scour all the major fears 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 thus him at my

irish? 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 mrs. gowers by letting them out every year. art last register solves around 200 cases of stolen art. are thieves often face a major problem? while their hall is extremely valuable? it is often and sellable. so why do criminals continue to target museums and galleries? dear? i'm foster gone to for this country. fortunately, the immediate reason is utterly per now and at the same time shocking. so just because they can do us deeper, camina criminals can tell how per the security is at public collections. got it from his i'm lawman because he hits in feeder tater monitor. he has done

a lot of the mon you 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, run some background on what's called a ox. nothing cannot 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, the thieves 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 the month confesses. after removing the arch from the wall, they fled via side exit in the direction of the cathedral,

which stood before driving off in a van. but i'm inclined to once 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. harvick underscore these as one 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 criminal investigation. over in london, the disappearance of the 2 turner's left, the british art world stand. 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 tates director of programs and the 29th of july 1994. that is sunday cc always in my mind. and it was nicholas

serrato's, director of tates. 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 has come, that these 2 paintings have been stolen from the sham kristela. 3 years later, 2 members of the yugoslav mafia were convicted for the churn 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. but he said, i have important information. i have information from people who know where the paintings all. so of course we were very suspicious with you know,

how do you have information? what is this in which we've had many, many false leads. i mean, one of the things that emerged was a sense that criminality leads to more criminality. 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 this 1st. and he had the right records, the other photographs. but he looked at it and we were waiting. and then he said, he said it's like meeting an old friend. and he knew that was the tunnel.

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 to me that when a knocked, nothing 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 including when the pictures resurfaced as the bid of the door. the tate was pretty opened about having paid money, although there 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 and a balloon or in terms of museums, security. every successful case is a disaster, museums issued on z for the tate gallery. it was

a total success food because they cut their paintings back afloat. the availability of london, the british capital, and the center of the country's 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 emily ebbing house and the art loss 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 thus, and that a certain session sat, 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

a 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 the fact, tickets 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 plundered during war and the colonial era. we hadn't yet st on the face, even as a database now has around $700000.00 items that we're looking for on practically a daily basis. and we get new items every days. as of right now during the covered pandemic, there's not so much aunt 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 a border or to via germany or switzerland and being immediately sold for coffee order or they stay put for a really long time and don't appear on the market until maybe the 30. he is later my 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 jewels 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 mothers on from past experience. sometimes the state of vested gators are successful sometimes to private parties, for what matters for me is that they communicate with each other, not when it does limit on and that they need to work as one. instead of giving the perpetrators the feeling that they can just settle financially with the private side in that so need not worry about committing a crime model. if my kind of duncan dealt with us is tough. talking bigot. dresden, 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. 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 2001. mm hm. work the 1st meeting was in hamburg. so from the old 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 park. we open pack that's always grown blue. 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. yup, nikki, rock the frequent don't you can't say. can i see some my d? no way this a reconnect is broken. i deliberately parked my car in a way that insured they can see i'm on my own hospital. so compact as he does eco molina. 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 sure those are the 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. what holding these jewels or is it was one photo the get the ta again into he was showing that he had the jewels in the on the date was from august 2020 m. o. ghosts will towson spun sick. 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 than 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 yoseph flesh went silent and gosh, 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 because 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 with the boda museum in berlin. part of a group of galleries known as museum island, a world heritage site. it houses a diverse collection of sculptures, metals, and coins. destination via ignore. it really is a phenomenal collection notation by the idea for displaying everything. one place came from vill him from boda, who was one of the 1st directors of the berlin museums yard has commanded because the kaiser and the state museums had a long history of collect and coin seen. it includes a lot of precious items made of gold as well. with yours most quotes. in 2010,

the bowden museum welcomed a very special addition 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 diesel door. the huge coin quickly became a major visitor. attraction. the spouse from a prestige item for the bowden museum, as was unrivalled with just 7 of them in the entire world, have it far too expensive for a public museum to actually buy he lives so they must have been delighted to get it as a loaner goblet so the big maple leaf spent 7 years on display at the boat museum. it's sheer size and financial value gave the coin an irresistible appeal. and not just for our lovers. some boys at 3 a. m. 3 young men came up the stairs at the half ish remarked station just over

there, and i'm with no trains running at that time of night on foot. there was no risk of dropping down on to the trucks close by the 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 as is, it's a force and from there they went across to railway bridge, right in between the boat museum and the pergola museum with us karen williams in by them. and 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'm for, 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 the toilet, 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 wasn't often they then took the same way back via that bridge to this park and then made their get away in a car of all sorts of them all to the from a classic heist. but how could petty thieves sees the biggest and most valuable coin on the planet? his shots, larger than individuals alias, not fif german museums have. then as now, a pretty pathetic security set of queen of it, whether it's the boat museum or the green vault and dresden shots taken the investment in deterrent measures as shockingly lowell and as, as of that, is that there was another case with the museum ireland where someone's sprayed oil

and exhibits and refresh the for just a handful of commerce for the food. so hardly state of the art. but this does the state of the art moon 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 him to, 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, a major item in my collection to be in line as long foxman is the son of an art and an stealer. he developed a special relationship to art at an early age. today, 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. the sharpness long. you believe that 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 from or floating the site with 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 the only shad morton her 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. to wilmonson. you helped us mum, does i vincent from you? we 1st had to take a close look at this family to work up the internal connections who were the big figures and what the dna told us is what a d, d and ashburn for was a her, in the them clean the 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 on by that ions. it's the form 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 than 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, which is very, a typical for the artist. includes la death 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 air up. there is one of the line bundled 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, quincy looked olsh, but art also attract speculators, which is why there are so many fraud cases i'm in the get up on my son. 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 dot so steel in it, or that's an incentive heights 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 unable to stall this stall, car radios bikes that it burglaries and that is nobody him and i was that i what are you doing? octavia 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 that on the roof and that, 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 that night and left with 2 works by vincent van gogh called the daring break in was headline news in the netherlands. it's something you have

to understand. you have to be in. this is a cold yellow sunday. i know this is what i don't have. the feeling durham initially kept the stolen van goes, hidden. the paintings were worth several 1000000 euros, but were on sellable on the legal art market. once media coverage of the theft had died down, he found a buyer, an italian mafia boss. i said to my friend of that, i'm, are you go find somebody and any found italian guy, you know? and he bought it does whatever. in 2016, the italian police raided a cocaine trafficking plan of the naples based come more a mafia. while searching the properties they discovered a hidden bunker. and inside it, the 2 missing van goes. ah,
