More than 20 years ago, the Gardner museum was the scene of greatest art theft in history. More than $500 million worth of art was stolen, and has never been recovered.
Today, federal officials where digging in a Manchester Connecticut yard looking for information on the crime.
Hey, Pard...this isn't your neighbor, is it?
Lawyer: Feds digging up mobster’s yard in hunt for Gardner paintings - http://www.bostonherald.com/news/regional/view/20220510lawyer_feds_digging_up_mobsters_yard_in_hunt_for_gardner_paintings/srvc=home&position=0
MANCHESTER, Conn. — FBI agents, bloodhounds, beagles and a ferret are swarming the backyard of a reputed Connecticut mobster in a hunt for the long-lost Gardner Museum masterworks, the alleged gangster’s lawyer told the Herald.
Agents are executing a search-and-seizure warrant to look for guns at the Manchester, Conn., home and property of 75-year-old Robert Gentile, but “they’re looking for paintings,†said defense attorney Ryan McGuigan. “We all know what they’re really looking for.â€
Seriously, the Gardner is a charming little museum in Boston, one my wife and I visit often. I hope they do get the masterpieces back undamaged.
