Art of the Steal: On the Trail of World’s Most Ingenious Thief | Magazine

This is a really long article on Wired that is about a dude who is essentially a badass thief who has done some crazy things. It is like reading the plot to a blockbuster movie, seriously.

An excerpt:

Quote:

In April 1993, Blanchard was nabbed by the cops in Council Bluffs, Iowa, for a suspected car arson and brought back to police headquarters. “They kept me in the interrogation room past midnight,” Blanchard says. “And at a certain point, I managed to sneak into the next room and slip through the tiles into the ceiling.” Undetected, he heard the cops run down the hall, thinking he’d gone out the fire escape. After waiting a couple of hours, Blanchard lowered himself down into the mostly empty station, stole a police coat, badge, radio, and revolver. After leaving a single bullet on the desk of his interrogator, he took the elevator to the main floor and strolled right past the front desk on his way out of the station.

Yeah. It's worth the read.
