Information
------------------------------

Money. Some people have it; others plot to take it.
From the narrow streets of Nice to the gleaning corridors of Wall Street, DARING CAPERS tracks some of the world's most fascinating criminals and their audacious crimes. Here's a rogue's gallery of bank robbers, art thieves, and debonair con artists who tried to steal their way to wealth through brilliant ploys and slick transactions. Their methods may amuse, their exploits may amaze, but their determination to make an easy buck is no laughing matter!
These are the stories of some of the most outlandish and unlawful get-rich-quick schemes ever exposed. Some were even successful. At least so far.
Tunnel under the streets of Nice, France with international thief Albert Spaggiari to relieve a bank of it's assets; escape with S8 million in cash, gems and gold from the Lufthansa Air Cargo terminal at Kennedy Airport; and slip into the world's finest homes with legendary cat burglar Blane David Nordahl, leaving with only the best pieces of silver. These daring felons have vastly different styles, but each shares a genius for larceny and a brash disrespect for the law.
The high-rise burglar, the daring jewel thief, the tunneling bank robbers, the Italian playboy who is more than he appears and the 'Queen of Jewels' whose exploits baffled her pursuers; these are just a few of the rogues you'll meet in this amazing, amusing and entertaining collection of world-class criminals!
Through dramatizations, news footage and interviews with witnesses and law enforcement officials, DARING CAPERS: TRUE CRIME STORIES takes you down the moral low road into the enticingly dangerous, devilish world of the criminal in 20 edge-of-your-seat episodes, originally aired on TLC, The Learning Channel.

5)  Plunder under Nice
A group of accomplished international thieves tunnel under the streets of Nice, France to steal S10 million in cash and jewels from an allegedly impregnable vault. The wealthy left their valuables in the Societe General Bank on the French Riviera. In July, 1976, the bank managers went to open the bank vault. It took 6 hours to open the 20 ton vault door while customers panicked outside. They discovered the bank had been robbed via a tunnel. Inside the vault was written, "without arms, without violence, without hate." The gang, dubbed "The Sewer Rats", left behind 2500 pounds of equipment. They broke into 400 of the bank's 4000 boxes. The caper became known as the "Heist of the Century". Albert Spaggiari was a cavalier, stylish and successful bank robber. With his hand-picked group of international thieves, Spaggiari, in 1976, spent two months digging a tunnel under the streets and into the impregnable vault of the Societe Generale bank of Nice, France. In a single weekend, they took 10 million dollars and left behind a fortune in cash and jewels. Their maddening Wail of taunts and clues baffled, humbled and embarrassed police in a dozen cities. Captured, only to bound out of the courtroom window in the middle of his trial, Spaggiari became a kind of folk hero.
