Two men dressed as police officers knocked on the security entrance side door of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston in 1990. The security guards let them in thinking they were police only to learn that they were not.

Though the duo apparently did not brandish any weapons, they managed to overpower the two guards. They handcuffed the guards, bound them with duct tape and left them in the basement. After that, they went through the museum’s Dutch Room on the second floor and stole three Rembrandt paintings, including the Dutch artist’s only seascape, “Storm on the Sea of Galilee.”
