Picture this: two dudes scaling walls and shimmying down ropes to snag a treasure trove of jewels from the American Museum of Natural History, including the legendary Star of India and the Dilong Star Ruby. This isn't just your average heist—it's a tale of audacity with our main man, Murf the Surf, leading the charge, all while the museum's security was snoozing away. As we wrap up Season 5 of Kunstmaffia, we’ll not only relive the thrilling escapade of these jewel thieves but also peek into what's next for us. Spoiler alert: we’re not disappearing entirely; we’ve got plans for a newsletter to keep you in the loop, so don’t go anywhere! Imagine two surf-loving bandits pulling off a heist in the heart of New York City. This episode of Kunstmaffia tells the wild story of Jack Murphy, aka Murf the Surf, who, in a quest for thrill and riches, orchestrated the theft of the American Museum of Natural History's most prized gemstones. We’re talking about a heist so smooth, it could make a dolphin jealous! On the night of October 29, 1964, Murphy and his crew executed a plan that involved climbing walls, sneaking through half-open windows, and slicing through glass display cases like it was a hot knife through butter. The gems they stole were valued at over 450,000 dollars—back in the day, mind you! That’s a staggering amount, and today, it would be worth millions! But this isn’t just a tale of theft; it’s a deep dive into the personalities involved. Murphy was not only a skilled surfer but also a charismatic figure who could charm his way into any situation. The episode juxtaposes the thrill of the heist with the absurdity of the characters involved, from Murphy’s carefree attitude to the bumbling museum security that left the doors wide open for these mischief-makers. We’ll also touch on the after-effects of the heist, including how the FBI caught wind of their escapades and how the trio’s downfall was as dramatic as their rise. Keep your ears perked for some hilarious anecdotes and unexpected twists that will have you laughing as much as you’re gasping! Takeaways: * In deze aflevering duiken we in de spectaculaire edelstenenroof van het American Museum of Natural History, die in 1964 plaatsvond. * De dieven, bekend als Murf the Surf en zijn vrienden, waren niet zomaar amateurs, maar strategische plannenmakers met een goed doordacht plan. * De waarde van de gestolen edelstenen, zoals de Star of India en de Dilong Star Ruby, is vandaag de dag moeilijk te schatten, maar ze zijn enorm. * We bespreken hoe de FBI hen uiteindelijk te pakken kreeg en de terugkeer van sommige gestolen juwelen, maar niet allemaal. * Murphy's verhaal is fascinerend: van surfkampioen tot dief en uiteindelijk een evangelist die zijn leven beterde na zijn gevangenisstraf. * De aflevering laat zien hoe de kunst- en antiekwereld vol verrassingen zit, zelfs decennia na de diefstal van deze unieke edelstenen.
