The Lufthansa Heist 1978
I remember that all too well,,, when it happened, it was Big News for weeks, months !!
and it seemed no matter what piece of used Jewelery that was around at the time, somebody was always tryin' to peddle it as if it was from the "The Lufthansa Heist", and people were more willing to buy it, just because it was from the Heist ! They could of give a rats ass bout' the actual Jewelery itself, just that fact it came from the heist was what they were having Fantasies about.
Everything from Ear Rings, to Watches to Gold Rings and Gold & Diamond Necklaces were being pawned as if they were from " The Lufthansa Heist "
That was in 1978 , the late 1970's early 1980's era
NOW its 2015, and now this is happening :
