Summary No one believed that ANYONE would be able to penetrate the four-foot thick walls of the Societé Generale, until bank employees arrived to find the vault door welded shut--from the inside. They had not reckoned with Albert Spaggiari. Entering the sewer system of Nice, France, his team tunneled through the rock and concrete with drills, hammers and chisels. They opened the safety deposit boxes; the appraiser they brought along sorting out the most valuable loot. The total of cash, jewels, and gold bullion was over $12 million--largest in French history. Spaggiari was never convicted, escaping from a judge's office window! He even wrote a book about the "Riviera Bank Heist."
