fic art thieves - John Mark Tillmann. One Mountie calls him “a kleptomaniac with taste”. For decades, Tillmann stole historical artifacts: pieces of art, books and collectibles from museums, universities, and businesses across the east coast. It's estimated he stole 10,000 items in all. Selling these items put hundreds of thousands of dollars in his bank account and even put a couple of luxury cars in his garage. What Tillman didn't sell he kept on display in his home in Nova Scotia until the Mounties seized it all and put him behind bars. the fifth estate's Bob McKeown sits down with Tillmann for his first television interview. You'll hear why he did it and how he got caught. McKeown also meets the cops and prosecutors who investigated Tillmann and returned these valuable prices of history to their rightful owners. They reveal Tillmanns dark side: a white supremacist with a long criminal record including a charge of attempted murder of his own mother. Come behind closed doors with the fifth estate to see these gems up close - including a painting Tillmann took right out of the Nova Scotia legislature.
