On Netflix This is a Robbery: The World's Biggest Art Heist. Four episodes. It details the theft of 13 pieces of art from the Isabella Stuart Gardener museum in Boston in 1990. That artwork is still missing. This show is fantastic. It's chock full of interesting real characters and lovable losers, and it completely avoids the pacing issues that plague some of Netflix's serial killer shows (which are still good). The final episode was just laugh out loud funny on several occasions. It may be more appealing for Boston folks, but Hartford makes an appearance, and even my hometown, Manchester, CT. This is highly recommended.

Yes I watched, I've been fascinated by the story for years. That Myles Connor is quite the character, Boston area has an incredibly rich criminal history.

I've fallen asleep twice now trying to watch this. Maybe third time is a charm?

The show had a shaggy-dog story quality to me. Even so, I liked it enough to finish it.
