This week on True Crime This Week, host Vanessa Richardson dives into two of history’s most daring and unforgettable heists.
First, journey to Nazi-occupied France, where art curator Rose Valland risked her life to secretly track thousands of stolen masterpieces — including Nicolas de Largillierre’s Portrait of a Woman, Half Length — and later helped the famed Monuments Men recover Europe’s looted treasures.
Then, ride back to the Wild West for the tale of Black Bart, the gentleman bandit who robbed 28 Wells Fargo stagecoaches without ever firing a shot — and left behind poetry instead of bloodshed.
From stolen art to outlaw artistry, these two crimes prove that not all heists are created equal — but every thief eventually faces the same reckoning.
