Time Running Out for Huge Reward in Famous Art Heist

Anyone who knows someone who knows someone who might know something about the notorious Gardner Museum art heist in Boston in 1990 might want to speak up quickly. 

A $10 million reward leading to the recovery of 13 works of art expires at midnight on Dec. 31. Actually, a reward remains in place, but it drops to $5 million once 2018 kicks in, notes the AP. 

The FBI thinks the two men who actually pulled off the heist by masquerading as Boston cops are long dead, so the reward is all about relocating the works by artists including Degas, Manet, Rembrandt, and Vermeer. All told, the paintings are worth an estimated $500 million, making this what the New York Times calls the largest unsolved art heist in history. The museum made headlines by temporary doubling the reward this year, with an expiration date.
