NEW YORK – When thieves ravaged the walls of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston on March 18, 1990, they didn’t just steal precious paintings; they stole the attention of the country, and the world. Two individuals dressed in police uniforms spent 81 minutes to gather and abscond with 13 works by Degas, Manet, Rembrandt, Vermeer, and other artists, collectively worth around half a billion dollars.
