Scandal!
In March 1990, the FBI seized a massive cache of stolen books from a house in Iowa. The haul—11,000 rare volumes worth an estimated $20 million—had been taken by Steven Blumberg from libraries and private collections all over the country. As investigators dug deeper into Blumberg’s criminal activities, they uncovered another stash—this time of stained glass and antiques—at one of his other properties: 1601 Park Avenue. The home had been purchased for restoration in 1976 by John Vetrano, who ended up being charged in the case for receiving stolen property.
