“Fiore was born to be a criminal” is a direct quote from the US Supreme Court about Anthony Fiore, the 82 year old from Rhode Island who joins Joey and Lil Snuff this week to tell stories about his crazy life as a career burglar. Tony talks about his life starting with stealing silver and platinum in his teenage years, losing his car while gambling in Vegas, stealing a Cadillac from Disneyland in California in the 60s and driving it across the country, truck robberies, bank robberies, being shot at while driving getaway cars, stealing from Frank Sinatra, and completing what the news called “Fiore’s Mission Impossible”; working with a Boston crew of 16 people including Bucky Barrett to carry out a 30 million dollar gold heist by using a bar of magnesium to cut a hole in the vault. This is a must listen.
