WORLD'S GREATEST JEWEL THIEF FINALLY CAUGHT
Crime paid handsomely
for the world's
best jewel thief - but
now he's finally been
caught!
Despite elaborate alarms,
fences and mansion walls,
Alan Golder broke in and
robbed the rich and famous
while they were lounging
at home, never suspecting
a thing, say police.
His victims included
Johnny Carson and the
Kennedy family, according
to authorities.
The dashing daredevil
raided the homes of
super-rich victims as they
sat eating dinner. He
reasoned, correctly, that
high-tech alarms would
be off because his targets
were home - and that
they would be distracted
by food and conversation.
His MO earned him the
nickname "The Dinnertime
Bandit."
Clad in black like
a Ninja warrior,
Golder climbed
walls to upperfloor
windows
before tiptoeing to
hiding places.
Like Cary Grant
in the movie
classic To Catch
a Thief, Golder
oozed class.
The charismatic
thief talked his
way into parties
of the rich and
famous where he
could ogle jewelry
and decide which
luxurious homes
to burglarize.
Often with a
beautiful woman draped on
his arm, he became a regular at
ultra-expensive nightspots - and
counted rocker Rod Stewart and
comedian John Belushi among his
pals, say sources.
He is accused of robbing homes
in Beverly Hills, Palm Beach and
New York's affluent Westchester
County.
