Not just because of 4 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: what was stolen, it's like this almost holy relic because 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 1: it's worth so much money, but from who. He was 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: just fascinated by the whole scene of walking into Nicolas 7 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: Cage's mansion and just seeing what he described as an 8 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: adult kids playground with all these you know, dinosaur fossils 9 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: around an a vintage car in the middle of the 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: living room.

At a 16 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: New Year's Eve party in a palatial bel Air estate, 17 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:17,199 Speaker 1: someone snatched cagees priceless comments but who. There were so 18 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: many people working for him. It's fascinating. He had a staff, 19 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: I would say, of just a personal staff, maybe of 20 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: around I mean, it was crazy. It's hard to keep 21 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: track of everybody. Police were baffled, collectors were shocked, and 22 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: so began a decade long search for the holy Grail 23 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: of superheroes, one involving secret rooms, police stings, and a 24 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: mystery did Cage know the thief? The fact he went 25 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: to the day lack first rather than the place as 26 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: an investigator, That were indikaite to me that Nicholas Cage 27 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: knew more than what he let on and he didn't 28 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: want really a lot being my public. I think they 29 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: should make a movie of this and just talk about 30 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: all the weirdos that worked for him, and like who 31 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: could have done this? And maybe it turns out that 32 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: in the end he did it to himself. About that, 33 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: it feels like fiction because someone targeted this very specific, 34 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: very talented actor and stole something that is very specific 35 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: to his interests, but that we're all aware of as 36 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: if it was a monai and there's not very interesting story. 37 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: I mean, we could go down the rabbit hole and 38 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: that he's colleague he used to work for. She was 39 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: a police detective. She got convicted of murder and she's 40 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: now in jail.
