** As discussed in [http://www.cracked.com/article_19458_the-5-most-badass-teams-famous-people-to-ever-join-forces.html The 5 Most Badass Teams of Famous People to Ever Join Forces], Leonardo DaVinci and Machiavelli once hatched an elaborate plan to steal a ''river.'' Their plan failed, but the river is the same one that appears in the background of The Mona Lisa (seriously!).
** [http://www.cracked.com/article_17090_wheres-bridge-7-biggest-things-ever-stolen.html Where's the bridge? The 7 Biggest Things Ever Stolen] details the largest things ever stolen. This includes things like a bridge, half a mile of beach, and ''the Empire State Building.''
* A "kilogram" (and by extension moles) is based on ''the'' kilogram stored in a French vault. It's possible to steal it and literally ''steal units of measurement'' (which is one the reasons why it is in a vault).
* The Mona Lisa was once stolen as well, [[Averted Trope|though it was nowhere near impossible at the time]]. The security that was protecting it was so lax that the guy just [[Beneath Notice|pretended to be a janitor]], hid in a bathroom, ripped it off the wall, [[The Guards Must Be Crazy|and walked off with it]]. Because of that, '''now''' you have to be an impossible thief to even touch the thing.
