[@drewngure]

I love Daring Capers! Please upload more, thanks!

[@TheJapanChannelDcom]

Registered in the hotel with their real names and left glass cutters and crow bars and museum plans in their rooms. Stupid crims are easier to catch.

[@C8Jake]

Was thinking the same thing! For planning it out so well they sure f'd the pooch on that one! Not to mention talking about the robbery the night before at the party! Dipshits! People can't keep their mouths shut...

[@kaydencegauthier3857]

@@C8Jake I know right

[@acejml1]

I love these shows but please make the commentary a little louder

[@gaving1476]

Turn the volume up

[@steveomo2001]

I am watching on my phone and had to reduce the volume😄😄😄

[@barrackoningu1886]

Use bluetooth speaker s or headphones

[@carsonp.7009]

yeahhhh 3:30

[@Forever-cy8hb]

True!!! It’s devastating

[@giorgilabadze1]

never let somebody to hear stuff and snitch on you for 2$

[@WonkaVator72]

"The Star of India sapphire was put back on display in the museum under much tighter security." That is to say, they then deployed *some* security.

[@mmsizzlak]

"after much consideration, our top executives decided to lock the door... We're guessing that leaving it unlocked was a totally horrible idea.... We think...."

[@marlboromatt5656]

Wow! Loved this one! Keep them coming. And they only got 3 years for all that crime. Unreal

[@angst101]

Did anyone else find it really weird that the informant overheard them talking about it and looking over blueprints but kept quiet until after the heist occurred?

[@C8Jake]

Yup... they didn't pay him enough!

[@Abdullah-fc4tm]

the camera guy who took photos of the people near the jewels, is also in another video of wonder and he acts as a navy seal

[@petejames1326]

great doco

[@Druuster]

Of course she peeked into the case

[@C8Jake]

Yup! They should have had it locked! Why wouldn't you lock a case containing those gems?!

[@mikechataika3048]

background sound effects are obstructing the narrators voice

[@cryptohunter8119]

the people who worked on the audio are most likely 70-80 or dead

[@lalsiamthara7303]

I obssess and wonder this wonder.

[@PobreFunnyStyle]

Im impress How the thieves CAUGHT..

[@R08Striker]

Damn, The quality is a bit uh, nvm.

[@brobrobrosky3323]

When your so early theres no good comments to steal

[@stonksrgud7645]

First!

[@pauldavis5665]

When you are so early there are no good comments to steal.

[@LonelyRanger902]

They made a pretty good movie about Murph the surf. Let’s face it, the prosecutor hustled these guys. Gabor could have never picked them out of a lineup. These guys were knuckleheads. They should have just done their three years and kept all the stones. Or they could’ve all kept their mouths shut, and not gone to jail at all.

[@reallegend7688]

Smh y’all left all that in the hotel

[@BenPeckover]

Background sound too loud. Narrator too quiet

[@C8Jake]

Every episode from these guys! The sound guy needs to find a new gig!

[@khrishardreid8349]

Exactly

[@gregoryambres1897]

I believe that I read a magazine article about this case. It might have been in Vanity Fair.

[@He_Loves_Sage]

Oh no 🙉

[@KowboyUSA]

Capers with garlic sauce are tasty on pasta.

[@oldgoat8861]

Stupidity. No cleanup, self control, and a loose unneeded cog in the wheel, got them caught.

[@OmarAhmed-re7gw]

She's crazy walking around 50gs jewelry.

[@fredbigonia8995]

Back in the days, there was no CCTV, cameras or videos, Alarms was lacking and security is lax.

[@mikebean.]

It was a good time to be a thief

[@alexnamibia]

This two guys were sloppy, they didn't have a plan ,how do u leave evidence behind in your room

[@reedmorris6559]

10 years no parole

[@blackmamba274]

That's why you never talk never trust the goverment

[@cedricf3451]

Surfers point break 😂😂😂😂😂

[@johnny7750]

Bodie and crew, getting chased by Jonny Utah,in real life,No Break Miami!!!🤣🇭🇲

[@h.huffen-puff4105]

8:48 safely inside with a rope hanging outside and an open window? Almost unbelievable. I don't understand the logic of the Museum management. Did they think a burglar would enter through the front door, come across the iron gate and then give himself up?

[@cleopatraoatcake7364]

Girls, if your new boyfriend asks you to pretend not to know him and carry a suitcase onto a plane without looking inside it, he's probably not a keeper, just sayin'! This is a fascinating story though!

[@1959blantz]

There is a movie titled "Live A Little Steal A Lot" based on reality of this heist.

[@DolFunDolhpinVtuber]

The security was as tight as the Mushroom Kingdom.

[@scottyfox6376]

Surfers who are robbers hmmm sounds like they inspired the movie Pointbreak with Keanu Reeves

[@ajaypithia913]

Background music is spoiler...

[@0therun1t21]

That's not much of a sentence for such irreplaceable gems. Almost seems worth it

[@kelvindaniels4956]

It was stolen and they stole it, same crime..

[@DBaker-zz8eu]

😂😂

[@heathfitzgerald363]

Whoever edits these videos needs to find a new occupation because they don’t know what they’re doing.

[@anttt7993]

Good God, who mixed the audio!

[@prestoncheapbtheadphoneste3010]

It’s done for, surround sound. 5.1.

[@speeddemon8977]

2 dollar snitch wtf

[@grillo7196]

Crazy stupid right!

[@brianmalasi8103]

The editors are good. However, please increase the Voiceover's volume... The natural sounds and track are very loud at some places

[@prestoncheapbtheadphoneste3010]

It’s done for surround sound. 5.1.

[@lacost836]

In som 🙈e frames background music is louder than commentry.

[@marlenedouglas7957]

Would not be able do it these days security is so tight. Good for a couple of beach bums

[@yaad2226]

yo mama can do that too

[@SuperMegaSammy]

the Narrator sound like Nick Offerman though.

[@shaanjitsingh7200]

Man they need to apologize to my country india lol🤣🤣

[@jamesrustles8670]

star of india isnt indian

[@kaydencegauthier3857]

So who do you sell that to you'd have to know someone good to sell it to right

[@bobbates6642]

They should have had some muslim oil rich so called prince set up to buy the big jewels. Then again they should not steal

[@chrisbowman4346]

Cut it in sections is what i would've done

[@dagre1839]

Anyone know where they are now?

[@jamesrustles8670]

all dead

[@simonrimui]

Next time destroy the evidence please,

[@dennislindqvist8443]

So much fuss for a few stones.

[@Terra-t3b]

Why there is never a red flag

[@respjames590]

Due to careless spending & talking, burglars will always find their way in jail.

[@DickHead-v8l]

The police and Government are the real criminals

[@johna.4334]

Loose lips sink ships.

[@abdullah3739]

And what about the thefts that took out this gem from sri lanka?

[@theyadore_breneece]

I'm early

How did the guards not see the camera crew filming the crooks

[@samvoulalis205]

Delete this comment. You failed with likes

🤣🤣🤣🤣🙆

[@nightintheruts617]

Crime in general must have been SO much easier before there was a camera every 10 feet, and solvng crime so much harder, not so much in this particular case, these guys were sloppy as hell, but had they cleaned they're rooms of all the evedence and didn't break down in interrogation, the police would have NOTHING 👍

[@DickHead-v8l]

I have np with anyone who steals from the rich

[@josephrapoza6453]

Bad choice how do you sell it. Hey you want to buy the Mona LIsa.. Not to easy of a sell.

[@sudeshrana7057]

[@KZXten]

This kind of reminds me of that Patrick Swayze movie, Point Break, from 1991. Very interesting! Thanks for sharing Wonder! Hello 'Wonder' fans! I hope this blesses you... What ever hardship you are going through, please know God has not forgotten you, He loves you and is there for you. Just turn to Him. Did you know that God loves you very much? You are His precious creation. He knows everyhing about you, the good and the bad. God desires you to come and talk to Him and for you to find rest and peace in Him. God created you to love and for you to love him. He wants you to spend eternity in Heaven with Him. That is why he sent His Son Jesus Christ to save you. Jesus paid your sin debt by willingly dying in our place. Now that is true love! Jesus is alive...He conquered death and he is coming back very soon. Please receive Jesus Christ as your Savior today...He is the one & only Way to Heaven. WHAT TO DO: Just go to Jesus Christ with a humble heart, repent and put your trust in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, committing your life to Jesus. AN EXAMPLE PRAYER: Jesus Christ, I come to you a sinner, I repent of living my life away from you and ask for your forgiveness. I believe you are the Son of God, that you went to the cross, died in my place, paying my sin debt and that you were buried & rose on the 3rd day to everlasting life. Jesus, right now, I choose to receive you as my Lord and my Savior, trusting in you alone for my salvation. I surrender my life to you and ask for your will to be done. I invite your Holy Spirit to come into my heart to make me more like you. Thank you for your forgiveness. Thank you for filling me with the Holy Spirit and for your gift of eternal life in Heaven. Amen! NOW WHAT: Being a Christian is all about relationship. You grow in your relationship with God as you spend time with Him, in your Bible, in prayer, in time of worship and praise. I suggest reading the gospel of John first, and then read the books that apostle Paul wrote, Romans through Philemon.

[@johna.4334]

That girlfriend who revoked her testimony deserves the worst possible punishment -to be placed in an all male prison for one year...unescorted.

So Ruby hidden in a private collection ... or cut down into smaller stones? Wonder if the flaws in the stones were registered at that point?

Real life Point Break

[@cyrile.6754]

These dudes stole a museum worth of gems and where sentenced to a paltry 3yrs, the Spiderman jewelry thief got 20yrs mandatory. Only difference is their colour, clearly the American way 🤨

[@woejinslow]

howd they recover gems from people that already paid for them? whos gonna give up untold fortunes for some lowlife trying to reduce his prison sentance? i guess avoiding that same lowlife testifying against you for buying them?

[@Lvlaple4Ever]

Lame story compared to the other thieves...

[@richardlambrecht8517]

so fake, nothing in this story makes any sense at all if you're a real robber....

[@justcause7521]

Who Fu*Ked up the sound editing on this video.

[@RoelofMalan]

THUMBS DOWN because of sound track being totally unprofessional as the narrator can't be heard easily over the loud american background sounds. 👎👎
