From the notorious London Fog Thieves to the Hansom Cab Strippers and the feared Shoreditch Skinner, this episode explores one of history’s strangest crime waves. Learn how these bizarre thieves operated, the brutal punishments they faced—including public floggings, prison ships, and forced transportation to Australia—and how Victorian society dealt with public humiliation and shame.
