A former FBI agent is offering the first detailed account of how investigators identified the people believed to have carried out the 1990 Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist. In a new book, Geoffrey Kelly argues the theft was the work of a loose network of Boston-area criminals, not international masterminds, and traces how the stolen art moved through violent criminal circles. His account sheds light on key suspects, investigative missteps and lingering questions, including the actions of a security guard that night. More than three decades later, the paintings remain missing — artworks Kelly calls the “perfect fugitives.”

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has been holding a series of “rental rip-off hearings” for disgruntled tenants to air their complaints about bad landlords. At a recent event in the Bronx, tenants described frequent heating outages, rat and roach infestations, and long wait times for maintenance requests. Some brought their complaints directly to Mamdani in one-on-one sessions. The events are part of a suite of ambitious tenant proposals proposed by Mamdani, whose pledge to freeze the rent for regulated apartments became a rallying cry on the campaign trail. Landlords, meanwhile, say the policies will lead to more tenant complaints as owners are forced to cut back on maintenance and services to meet rising costs.
