The Van, the Teen, and the 31-Pound Forgery That Almost Disappeared

A teenager on a bicycle found a four-hundred-and-twelve-pound bronze sculpture inexplicably hovering three-quarters of an inch above its mounting bolts, and a later theft attempt was foiled by a thirty-one-pound detail. How did a forged four-foot bronze, a shell company, and a stolen gate code nearly erase an artwork and expose a financial trail?
In this episode, we walk through the timeline from installation to the night entry and the thirteen-day investigation that followed, laying out the people, payments, and physical clues that linked a cargo van, a studio assistant, and a trusted advisor - and ask which misstep stopped the heist.
