New York City has been experiencing a rise in crime rates, particularly in violent crimes. With Jack the Ripper and The Leather Apron roaming free, killing prostitutes and men, the public's eye has turned to violent crimes, ignoring one of the most prolific crime sprees in New York history. For the past twenty years, a myth of a man has been stealing from this city. Known to the detectives as Professor Moriarty, heralded as the Napoleon of Crime, a single man has managed to steal nearly $50 billion worth of antiques and masterpieces every year.
Just recently, a necklace on loan from the Vatican, priced at $6 million disappeared. Authorities believe it to be the latest Moriarty's criminal reign.
In an act to counter the threat, all museums, banks, and high-priced stores have taken extreme precautions. Everything from upgrading security systems to hire around the clock guards has been used. Despite this, Professor Moriarty has sent a letter to officials claiming that he will 'steal right from under [your] noses. $15 billion is so easy to misplace, isn't it?'. Referring to the transfer of the most valuable Ming dynasty vase in existence, Moriarty swore to steal it during transport. For eight minutes the vase will be above ground, being moved from the one secure location to another.
Authorities say that is a bluff, that not even a criminal mastermind could pull off such a heist.
They would also like to make it known that most citizens are not in danger of being targeted by Moriarty. "He steals priceless artifacts, paintings, and jewelry, not your great-grandmother's pearl earrings. Unless you have the Hope diamond hiding in your sock drawer, you have no reason to be afraid."
Authorities have no leads as to who Professor Moriarty actually is and consider him at large and a threat to the infrastructure of the city.
I, as an individual, would like to stress the importance of home security. Just because Professor Moriarty won't break into your home doesn't mean that someone else won't. Whenever you leave your home, lock your door and keep a lock box for valuable items.
