The Eternal Anglo on a world scale
Hermann Goering and his petty theft was pretty balls to the walls.

Israel, if we are going to believe bible tales.
>sorry your land belongs to us now because God, who talk to us only, said so to a goatfucker from Ur some centuries ago.
>but don't worry we are going to kill males only, females we will keep as sexslaves.
Easily Wilhelm Voigt
Sir John Blunt

The 1963 Great Train Robbery.
Really amazing.
>>962587
I'll still never understand how they stole a train

There's a 2013 movie (as far as I know, not released in theaters) that does a great job of reconstructing it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Train_Robbery_(2013_film)
The movie used to be on Netflix (it might still be). I thought it was great, though it IS a move all the same, so there are MANY things that from my reading on the robbery make the movie's portrayal,well, seem like a movie portrayal.
The British

Not sure, but I'm sure it was a Jew.

Business got to run. Fools got to eat.
D.B. Cooper was an amazing their who was never caught
Brits desu
All the best ones never got caught. Did one or two big jobs for a rich guy and were set for life and retired from crime. Look at all the historical relics that mysteriously end up in private collections?
Theres a wiki page for unsolved museum heists
Bernie Madoff stole more than any other person history.
>>962862
*IN history.
Penises.
>>962862
Bernie Madoff is a drop in the bucket, theres many just like him.
They had proof of him being suspicious in the 90s but never made a move on him until he started ripping off fellow jewish organisations like that jewish womens club. Then he gets investigated and everyone associated with him and some family start dropping of mysterious illnesses or "suicide"
Shits sketchy as hell mate, and im not even /pol/

This. Everyone found his thievery more funny than terrible, even Wilhelm II thought it was hilarious, so he wound up gaining a small fortune through touring and whatnot.
Then lost it all in the Depression.

Didn't John Blunt steel more than anyone in history?
Yes.
the pink panther are pretty good. They're more robbers than thieves tho and I guess their golden age is over.
You wouldn't know who the greatest the if is. Just like you'll never know who the most effective spy
Jason and the Argonauts
>>963988
Fucking this. Alternatively Aeneas and his Trojan exiles who stole land from the Italians.
>>961774
underrated post
>>964093
Well Aeneas is bollocks, but Jason is very likely based on some historical realities of Archaic Greek colonialism.
