The FBI has released previously unseen security tape from the night before paintings were stolen from the Gardner museum, the biggest art heist in U.S. history.
BOSTON - Authorities announced this week that they believe they know who stole 13 pieces of artwork worth as much as $500 million from Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990.
Art theft is usually for the purpose of resale or for ransom (sometimes called artnapping). Stolen art is sometimes used by criminals as collateral to secure loans.
