Please click on the link below to read my article about this day in crime history. It was on this day, December 11, back in 1978, that mobsters of the American Mafia, had allegedly pulled off the biggest heist in American history at that time.
The Lufthansa cargo hold at JFK airport in New York City, was robbed of six million dollars in cash and jewels. This heist is also immortalized in the movie, "Goodfellas" starring Ray Liotta, Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci.
