The Vizcaya Heist On 22 March 1971, three individuals from New York City raided the Villa Vizcaya in Miami and stole approximately $1,500,000 in artwork and silver items, some of which were of historical value. This trio of reputed jewel thieves was arrested on 25 March 1971. Sergeant Connolly stated that included in the theft was a silver bowl that once belonged to Napoleon Bonaparte and was virtually priceless. According to Connolly, the three perpetrators had been under surveillance for four months for unrelated jewel burglaries that they had carried out in the Manhattan Diamond District. NYPD Captain Thomas Kissane said that the vast majority of the precious items stolen from the Vizcaya have never been recovered.
