The Almost Perfect Vancouver Heist

In 1977, a daring heist in Vancouver shocked the world: thieves drilled through 30 inches of concrete and sliced through 4 inches of armor to steal gold, jewels, and cash from a safety deposit vault—without a single alarm sounding. What began as a quiet New Year’s Eve operation turned into an Ocean’s Eleven-style caper, leaving behind chaos and unanswered questions. Author Don Levers, who was there during the heist, spent years uncovering the truth, visiting the vault and even attempting to track down suspects. His new book, The (Almost) Perfect Heist, reveals the meticulous planning, the getaway gone wrong, and why this crime remains one of the most elusive and thrilling heists in history—despite some loot being recovered and a few suspects caught.
