[@atugonzajose6606]

Sharing the money always becomes a problem.

[@Jane-kp3xr]

Too large of a gang, less money for everyone.

[@peterheinz9569]

They break into the alarm company….and the alarm company doesn’t have an alarm. Ok then.

[@11TyMMI-Kossee]

Then 3weeks later WONDER will make another episode and name it crime of the century😂

[@panther1904]

Lol

[@bridgettemakgareetsa6269]

🤣🤣🤣🤣True

[@DolFunDolhpinVtuber]

And they nearly got away with it. Gotta give credit to heists which take a long time of planning and dedication.

[@johnwayn647]

5:44 instead they broke into the alarm company... Remind me not to get my alarm system from that company 😂

[@Fanta....]

this is why alarm companies now have round the clock shifts and high security entry. they are a massive target as a secondary place to quell in the event of a robbery.

[@akalksander9184]

They broke into the alarm company that's protecting your dough, hahaha.

[@robertpender2402]

Some some guys have all the luck

[@mandimartin3822]

You dont believe but i know some guys broke to police station once in germany once in italy by mistake

[@johnnyc5853]

@@mandimartin3822 Trust me I believe it lol. Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to people nowadays lol.

[@AnonymousPhucker]

More sounds like the amount of money FBI spent wasnt worth it.

[@petergorm]

Living in 2021, I actually admire these guys. I have never done anything like this, making me the laughing stock.

[@smith077906]

U 're not the laughing stock. The laughing stock are the real criminals on Wall Street and D.C.

[@user-ny9fi9qp1e]

Now these are brilliant thieves. Love it.

[@Lvlaple4Ever]

Lmao, they spent almost 20 times for the investigation than what the robbers stole. What a complete waste of taxpayers’ money for a private company.

[@ranganathprahlad]

It was the government or officers who looted in the name of enquiry I guess.

[@north-shoregcs3894]

It sets a precedent you can’t just get away with anything.

[@renegade_patriot]

It's called justice.

I'm loving this channel and series

[@KowboyUSA]

Yeah, I remember getting paid in cash. The good ol' days when a dollar bought something and you got a few on every payday.

[@pedenmk]

Yeah now days a average new car or truck is over 20 or 30 thousand and that's a used one. Everything keeps go n up except for the paycheck.

[@jerzs1363]

They spent 29 million to find 1.2 million? America at its best

[@imhuman3956]

Wait, what? Did the narrator said that they spent $29m on investigation?

[@AnonymousPhucker]

Yes, thats how USA works.

[@peterheinz9569]

How could they remove the locks from the brinks doors, make keys, then replace the locks without employees noticing doors with missing locks? There’s holes in the narrative of this whole story here.

[@tomevers6670]

Tf you can literally do that in hours..you’re fairly ignorant to not know this.

[@johnshilling2221]

16:05 "I wish I had chewing gum on my shoes when I was walking around that office..." LOL! I was just thinking the very same thing! Wondering if any of the reporters were sticking gum to the bottom of their shoes.. .because, "The place was in turmoil."

[@davidr4332]

These days you don't steal money , You transfer numbers instead ..

I mean the garage attendant ?! What, in the 50's a random visitor could visit the bank at midnight while the staff is taking inventory!?

[@paulwarner8296]

There sure were a lot of “ crimes of the century”

[@breengahan5188]

So the government spent 29 million try to find 1.5 million 🙈🙈🙈😂😂😂👍🏿

[@franksbtka1624]

This whole episode made me want to talk like James Cagney.

"LOOK MA....IM ON TOP OF THE WORLD "!!!!

[@DomTVGHHD]

So i was wondering why i should spend more on something really small.

[@danielzapata3705]

The cops are the real gangs

[@KishanMV]

That's why I like gambling business. Robbers rob banks. Gambling companies rob even robbers!

[@zackscott8636]

so your happy and proud of being sleazy

[@Fanta....]

casinos are just as morally bankrupt as robbers, they just have the backing of the government.

[@javianjohnson8746]

"THIS IS A STICKUP!" Yup, this is definitely the working of some 50s gangsters. Surprised they didn't mention the "Coppers" 😭

[@FirstPeterr]

I usually start my workday at the office like the guys comng in at 1:01.

[@pinkpanther4641]

Must be extra fun on Mondays.

[@JagemYala]

29 million to recover 1.5 million

[@Kriegter]

Very impressed there are no GTA 5 jokes

[@larrygregoire842]

FF to end then hit ✖️ then restart video for no ads .

[@rodneytimpson1608]

Its funny how the showed this..in the parents house..they never shut the doors to the living room.

[@AUTOTUB3]

Unbelievable. The ended up broke. Can not believe it 😅. There is so much to invest money in i cant believe they dont invest that money wisely

[@Fanta....]

don't believe it. it's a fairytale added to these stories to try to prevent others from trying. for every robebr than gets caught, many disappear into the darkness and live happily ever after.

[@haichau5295]

Spent $29 million investigations. They didn't do much time in prison and spend all the money. Could've used that million on a different case. Ego

[@shaibumoro1562]

Not wanted dead or alive, wanted DEAD 😂😂😂

[@handsomeblackman255]

Probably the most meticulous heist I've ever seen.

[@Whos_the_Snitch]

The problem here is so obvious, look at his secret Serviece Agents, the pony-tail brigade small and panicking not good for protection.

[@PhyllisBurris]

Other thieves said half the people they broke into homes never locked their doors.

[@rodneytimpson1608]

The Jazz was awesome in this documentary.

[@Jaramba]

😂Dress code like Peaky blinders

[@joeweeks3794]

29 million to recover 51k....sounds about right for the US government

[@sammyj184]

Damn snitches

[@haidancastro3715]

I suggest subtitle on your next videos

[@zensbleexperience3470]

Simple is good imo but no matter how brilliant their plans it seems something simple causes their best laid plans to fall apart at the seams. Greed is just such an ugly motive imo.

[@PhyllisBurris]

I listened to modern day Woman Cat thief that stole Millions. She said don't advertise the alarm system u have with signs saying "Protected by ......" as there are utube videos that show u how to disarm those systems.

[@Autocreatorz]

i feel the thief's had it a little easier back in the day a lot less technology to worry about

[@deepalib3096]

These criminals cud have used their brains to earn money in the right way!

[@mountainboyoakley3119]

Nothing was safe back then 😂😂😂

[@pedenmk]

How ironic. Just goes to show that crime didn't pay.......

[@googleuser3883]

They weren't smart enough. Most crimes aren't solved. Though sometimes, it's pure luck. Conveniently, almost never shown too.

[@TheSilmarillian]

How many of those bundles of 100 hundred dollar notes did the police pick up just a thought good people its human nature in action .

[@tonysudano778]

Only 11 more days of not saying anything they would have gotten away clean

[@i-love-carlyshay5365]

What year this robbery happened

[@Jane-kp3xr]

January 1950

[@AmericanPatriot-bp7cu]

Great story. $1.5 M is big money in the 50s. Now, it's peanuts to many. Also, O'Keefe was an idiot. I'll bet his life was short.

[@gazoo-pl4nx]

1.5 mill in the 50s is 16 million today

[@tmeatballs7874]

Last!

[@bah-be8159]

Had to be. He would of been perfect.

[@Carolina_Panthers145]

I'm surprised they got caught for being stupid and not smart.

Again. Only dead can keep their mouth shut.

Just movie.

[@Being_Kuki]

What a noob story.29 millions ,6 years spent.51,000 only recovered 😭🤣🤣🤣

[@RITMAN30]

NO to nothing

[@naluminoglen6882]

These guys were too noisy

[@darrenstewart6127]

God this sounds bit like its was the same has the Australian biggest hoist but the money never was found and they never got the guys who did the hoist

[@Andressantiagooo99]

DF is a hoist

[@Fanta....]

How high was the hoist? was it a hills hoist?

[@sihammer7942]

If they only recovered 50K, that left plenty for each of the boys to trouser what would have been a lot of money. I'm not buying the, 'they all agreed it wasn't worth it + died penniless' line, that might be what they say but it's probably for the benefit of parole boards, grandkids, + such like....... 'Angels With Dirty Faces' type vibe....... Either way, they must have reaped the benefits of their score at some point, enjoyed some wine, women + song....... If not, I'd hate to think they wasted it! Which reminds me, speaking of wasting money, did I hear correctly???? The police spent 29 million of Uncle Sam's dollars, investigating this piece of work...... Who investigated that??? The cost of each conviction adds up to a small fortune, if crime doesn't pay it certainly costs!!!! Incidentally, if it doesn't pay, you're doing it wrong! It looks as though Boston was one big racket, in those days......... The police were an expensive luxury, they were expensive, anyway, no getting around that. Whereas, you can argue as to whether, or not, they were a luxury........... Not seen this before, thanks for uploading.

[@Fanta....]

in todays money, conservatively they spent 296 million dollars to crack this case.... HAw Haw

I've heard it said, "crime never pays" maybe ...nah, never mind. Now imagine all the possibilities if they had stayed in school and had listen to their parents. Oh wait never mind they just needed a different hobby, they had a good plan up until their trust issues arose so I guess they didn't plan that far...back to the drawing board.. remedial study.. summer school.. something 🤔🤫🤪😎
