HI there I was hoping somebody out there has a copy, a tape, dvd, whatever, of the February 22, 1989 Unsolved Mysteries episode....

It has the segment with two Los Angeles bank robberies in which tunnels were built to get under the vault....the thieves accessed LA's vast storm sewer system....they were never caught....I think I know who did this....the second bank they tried to rob...the cops caught on before they could get anything good and a few days later they found ANOTHER tunnel...had they got the second and third one the way they hit the first Bank it would have been world famous at the time biggest heist in years....

I remember this episode but i dont have a tape sorry about that. do you know what episode your house was used for

hopefully somebody will have an episode of this one they can sell/share with me...

Oh ok i hope You really know who the robbers are i want them in jail.

Extremely interesting because that sewer system case is one of my absolute favorites. I'm amazed it was never solved and in fact earned almost zero publicity. I've tried to research online but come up empty. Agreed, if they had executed all the robberies via the completed tunnels, no doubt it would have been a high profile case and pursuit.

I'm a bit puzzled how you think you know who they are. If you were very young at the time of the episode filmed in your house in '91-'92, then you were much younger when the sewer bandits struck in the '80s. So it's info you would have come across long after the fact. No specifics necessary, but what leads you to isolate your suspects?

*deleted* (good advice Awsi!)

Great post, SiberianKiss. But I'm not sure I would be revealing so much considering who your suspects are. Can't be too careful. Remember, you can always edit (delete) around here long after the post.

What is the name of the book with the chapter?

The UM segment showed small all terrain vehicles that were used to transport the drilling materials and other items into the sewer. Apparently purchased in the San Diego area. At least one of them was abandoned when the robbers were nearly caught.

I'm sure someone here has the segment on tape.

I think this segment was shown last week or the week before. I don't have anything on tape, though.

I believe they were on last week and I may have it recorded, I haven't gone through last week's tapes yet. I'll look and see.

man that would SUCK if that episode JUST aired!

Don't tell me I missed it by a week!

check your recorder pleeeease! :)

hey siberian, that is one of the more repeated episodes. if you dont get it from someone, i will keep it in mind and record it when it is on again. i tivo the show every day

I'm pretty sure I still have the episode if all else fails.

BTW, this may sound stupid, but couldn't you just ask them? As you said, statute of limitations has expired. Just a thought.

no it's not a stupid thought

I've wanted to (believe me!) but they don't live near me any more and I'm not gonna do that on the phone....I'm pretty curious to see how UM portrayed this and getting as much info as I can before I confront anybody.

You could try a bit of finesse. Don't mention bank robbery at all. Just call them and say you're suddenly interested in a career involving sewers, and ask if they have any background or expertise.

I already know what they do! where their area of expertise is, I just wouldn't ask over the phone if they were the ones who pulled off a million dollar heist and then tried to do it again and never get caught, know what I'm sayin?....the truth is it HAS to be them, it just has to....all the pieces have eerily come together, everything fits....I'm just ridiculously curious to see how it was protrayed on UM....like you said not a lot of info on these incidents....

still in shock by the way! i can't believe it!

Justins5256 did you check to see if you have it? I'll return it to you the next day! Or I'll buy the tape from you...

Thanks!

Well, sometimes I just post nonsense, mostly to bump my post count. It looks really inadequate for someone who has been here more than three years.

BTW, I've noticed that when I have a number 1 in my post count, it sort of aims at the orange shorts.

I suppose I should take this opportunity to say that even though I offered to help SiberianKiss find this episode, I have no interest in making further discs for anyone else in exchange for cash. Sorry.
