Here's one of the most interesting tales of bank robbery that I've never heard of until today.
If you were legal in 1971 and living in Britain, you might of heard of the 1971 Baker Street robbery, the biggest heist (up until that point) to have ever hit England at 3 million pounds stolen...unless you were visiting relatives in Chile until four days after the grab, when in that case thanks to the government's media gag, you're probably as surprised as I was to hear about it.
Despite being eavesdropped on for 10 hours during the burglary, the culprits weren't caught during the thieving, and most of the money still hasn't been recovered. Theories abound, but this one is supposedly set on real interviews with the culprits, who seemed to know as little about what was really going on as anyone else.
As so many stories seem to go, this tale begins with a princess...and ends with a hanging.
