Art Heist One night in 1990, only two watchmen were responsible for guarding hundreds of millions of dollars of art at the Gardner Museum. One could say the job was pretty uneventful, even boring. But on St. Patrick’s Day weekend in 1990, the watchmen’s usual routine was dramatically changed by two thieves. Two men who were dressed as Boston Police officers rang the doorbell. Going against rules, a watchman let them into the museum. Within minutes he and the other watchman were tied up by the thieves, who had free reign over the museum. On this night, these two thieves would pull off the greatest art heist in history. More than two decades later, visitors to the museum can still see the empty frames of the stolen paintings that hang on the walls.

To this day, the art work has never been found, the thieves never caught. Why would these criminals steal valuable works of art if they weren’t going to make any money off of them? And who were these thieves? Advanced - Phrasal Verbs. Phrasal Verb Generators These have a slightly different approach to phrasal verb learning.
