Antwerp Diamond Center is famous for it’s uncut diamonds. This huge heist was executed on 16th February 2003 by a famous professional thief Leonardo Notarbartolo. The heist was so huge that

he failed to manage stealing all their booty out of the vault. But still managed to take away 123 of 189 deposit boxes. The robbery was well planned and the plan took years to get executed. It involved at least 4 more people. They had rented office space in the building 3 years earlier, where Leonardo posed as an Italian diamond merchant. This was done to gain trust and credibility and avoid suspicion. Jewels worth $100 million have never been recovered. Notarbartolo is currently serving a 10 year sentence in prison.
