{"product_id":"2000003465989","title":"Under the Streets of Nice: The Bank Heist of the Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlbert Spaggiari engineered the European crime of the century-a 1976 bank heist accomplished, as a note left in the empty vault said, \"Without guns, without violence, without hate\". He and his 20 men had dug a 25 foot tunnel from the city sewer system into the back, where they spent a weekend cooking meals, drinking wine and clearing out a total of $8 to $10 million in gold, jewelry, gems and cash reserves. Tracked down and captured, Spaggiari escaped from the French gendarmes by leaping out a magistrate's window and onto the back of a motorcycle. Convicted in absentia and sentenced to life in prison, he retired to a ranch in Argentina-purchased, according to his memoirs, with the proceeds from the robbery. He taunted police for more than a decade until his mysterious death in 1989, which made him international headlines once again. The loot was never recovered.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47089746608368,"sku":"2000003465989","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2000003465989_p0.jpg?v=1763537459","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2000003465989","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
