[@Kinson007]

4:05 Narrator says, not bad for less than an hour and of a half of work for the thieves.. For the actual crime, yes, maybe. But how much time went in to the planning? There are a lot of unanswered questions around this heist I would suspect. If the robbers skipped works of art that were worth more, why? Did the thieves have a buyer or buyers line up before they robbed the art? If they did, would explain why they took what they took.

love the video however using the polygraph test is straight up nonsense. it doesnt tell you a thing

[@nancymilawski1048]

Yes correct. If it showed anything it would be admissible in court but it's not. Furthermore, if an attorney mentions the jury gets told to ignore it. That's something that police forces should get rid of. They need to save some money, get rid of this whole thing. (Just think about lie detectors. They've been around for decades but they have never been shown to work. Meanwhile DNA has grown by leaps and bounds to not only being admissible in court but also they able to get information from a very small sample. ) 😀
