The K and L Express Robbery Tale of River Theft
A riverfront theft analysis recounts the K and L Express robbery on Long Wharf. A two story shed, a blown safe, and a missing treasure prompt divers, tow boats, and a ship captain to piece together the mystery. The tale centers on fog, a gilded fragment, and a Rotterdam bow that damaged the express dock while the safe’s fate remains resolved aboard a tug.
