Raiding an Empty Vault

Raiding an Empty Vault: "Twenty-five years ago, Geraldo Rivera hosted a greatly hyped TV special called 'The Mystery of Al Capone's Vaults.' It still stands as one of the highest-rated programs in television history.

On the ballyhooed night, cameras crept through the tunnel to the vault. There, on live TV, workers pulled down the concrete wall. The dust settled, and the cameras peered inside. And what did spellbound viewers behold? A pile of dirt, a few empty gin bottles, and a discarded stop sign. Such were the treasures in Al Capone's vault."
