13 Notable Heists Around the World.

Justin Glow of Gadling wrote an article about 13 heists from around the world, for example:

Not everyone steals famous paintings, cash, or microchips. In fact, some people go to great lengths to get their hands on some very unsavory — yet quite expensive — items. In November of 2005, a farmer at Smithburg, Maryland’s Stonewood Acres had ventured to Pennsylvania to visit relatives. When he returned to the farm, he noticed a 70-pound tank filled with $75,000 worth of bull semen had been opened up, with sixty-five "straws" containing the sperm of nearly 50 bulls missing. "Frozen bull semen is big business because it saves on the transportation cost of putting a bull and a cow into the same pen to breed," explains the Washington Post. "Frozen semen can also last for many years, outliving the bull who produced it." Moo?

    DB Cooper looks suspiciously like a too thin George Clooney.
