It was the most unlikely artist of all time. You hear the gossip that it could have been the butler, could have been the security guard. Not just because of what was stolen, it's like this almost holy relic because it's worth so much money, but from who. He was just fascinated by the whole scene of walking into Nicolas Cage's mansion and just seeing what he described as an adult kids playground with all these you know, dinosaur fossils around an a vintage car in the middle of the
living room. Welcome to Stealing Superman and I heart original podcast. I'm your host Danish Sports. Last year we brought you Haleywood, the story of Bruce Willis buying up a town in Idaho and the friends and enemies he made along the way. This fall, we've got a shocking four color crime saga. It was Nick Cage's own personal national treasure. At a New Year's Eve party in a palatial bel Air estate, someone snatched cagees priceless comments but who. There were so
many people working for him. It's fascinating. He had a staff, I would say, of just a personal staff, maybe of around I mean, it was crazy. It's hard to keep track of everybody. Police were baffled, collectors were shocked, and so began a decade long search for the holy Grail of superheroes, one involving secret rooms, police stings, and a
mystery did Cage know the thief? The fact he went to the day lack first rather than the place as an investigator, That were indikaite to me that Nicholas Cage knew more than what he let on and he didn't want really a lot being my public. I think they should make a movie of this and just talk about all the weirdos that worked for him, and like who could have done this? And maybe it turns out that
in the end he did it to himself. About that, it feels like fiction because someone targeted this very specific, very talented actor and stole something that is very specific to his interests, but that we're all aware of as if it was a monai and there's not very interesting story. I mean, we could go down the rabbit hole and that he's colleague he used to work for. She was a police detective. She got convicted of murder and she's
now in jail. Show in a life sentence listen to stealing Superman starting November two, on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you find your favorite shows.
