I just was this story about the upcoming auction of one of the two Aston Martins used by James Bond. Apparently, the other was stolen on 1997 and hasn’t been seen in public since. (I’m sure it has been seen by the thief who jerks off over it every day.) I hadn’t heard that before.
So what other priceless objects have presumably disappeared into the vaults of millionaire thieves?
Both bikes used in “Easy Rider” were stolen and never seen again. It’s speculated that the thieves really didn’t know that the bikes they stole were the ones in the movie and they were just disassembled for the parts.
The biggest art theft in history occurred at the Isabella Steward Gardner museum in Boston in 1990. None of it has ever been seen since. I think it is kind of strange to steal famous art which is meant to be shown off but you can’t because it becomes so infamous after it is taken.
The Great Mogul Diamond has not been seen since the 17th century. At the time, it was the largest cut diamond in existence, and it has been called the most valuable object ever lost.
