January 2nd, 1972. The Pierre Hotel, New York City. In the early morning hours, a black limo pulled up to the entrance of the Pierre Hotel. A man stepped out and told the security guard he was a registered guest. A group of armed robbers then held the security guards, hotel staff, and several guests hostage while they robbed the hotel of millions of dollars worth of jewelry and cash. The Pierre Hotel Heist was later listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest, most successful hotel robbery in history.
