Breaking News? "Gardner Heist Still Unsolved"

The ProJo has a piece featuring Anthony Amore, the head of security at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. He's a graduate of the University of Rhode Island and recently spoke there about the heist.

We've heard this story before, but it's still compelling. From the piece by Amanda Milkovits:

Despite the museum’s written security policy not to admit police officers into the building unless they had been summoned by the museum, the guard let the “officers” in anyway, which Amore called “one of the biggest mistakes ever made.”

They asked him to call the other guard down to meet them. They lured the first guard away from his control desk, where he could have set off the alarm button, by telling him they thought he had a warrant. The “officers” ordered him against the wall and handcuffed him. When the second guard arrived, they handcuffed him as well. And then, Amore said, the intruders told the guards: “Gentlemen, this is a robbery.”
