The true crime story of a family of altruistic jewel thieves and four decades of daring capers and sweet escapes, including a 1992 New York mega-heist.
Punch Stanimirovicinsists: "My father, known as Mr. Stan, is the greatest gentleman thief who ever lived-a true genius."
Punch was raised to be an exceptional diamond thief. He could work magic on a safe that would have sent Mandrake the Magician back to the novelty store, and Dr. Strange back to medical school. He and his family risked it all to make the patriarch, Mr. Stan, proud.
Punch's pop culture sensibilities, his father's proven skills, and his mother's artistic input merged to create cinema-style capers-elaborately planned and executed, including a spectacular 1992 New York mega-heist of over one billion dollars in diamonds, gold, and precious gems-and they got away with it.
Many of the crew memberswent on to invest in real estate, helping to "build the New York skyline", while others moved to Europe and became the Pink Panthers.
They had one rule:
