Million Dollar Moon Rock Heist (2012)

A headline-grabbing heist of NASA proportions

The incredible story behind the multi-million dollar moon rock heist at NASA - and how it was an inside job. In July 2002 'physics genius' Thad Roberts and three accomplices pulled off perhaps the greatest ever theft in NASA history at the Johnson Space Centre, Houston, Texas. Using their NASA IDs Roberts, and one female partner in crime, slipped into the centre at night stealing a 600lb safe containing moon rocks from every Apollo mission.
