A true heist that took place in the UK in 1963, The Great Train Robbery was a sensation that gripped the nation. A group of 15 robbers managed to hijack a high-value postal train and get away with the equivalent of roughly $73 million dollars – most of which was never recovered. No one was killed during the robbery, but for many of those who got captured, the sentences were astonishingly high. #wikisleep #sleepstories #greattrainrobbery
