Horses plus The Almost Perfect Heist

from Time Warp Hosted by Paul Vorvis and Kate Butler | Canoe FM

This week, Kate talks about the importance of horses in early Haliburton County. Plus, Paul has the story behind an audacious 1977 heist at the Vancouver Safety Deposit Vault that was protected by thirty inches of reinforced concrete and steel plating. It remains one of the boldest and technically sophisticated thefts in Canadian History. Questions remain - many of the heist-crew have never been charged and only a fraction of the loot was ever recovered. More information is available in Don Lever's 2026 book "The (Almost) Perfect Heist". Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Paul Vorvis is the host of the Your Haliburton Morning Show 7 - 9 a.m. Fridays on Canoe FM 100.9 and streaming on your devices. Haliburton County is in cottage country about 2 1/2 hours north of Toronto. You can contact us at [email protected]
