Welcome to the very first episode of True Crime Teacher Time! In this episode, we dive into the true story of the Jerusalem Clock Heist. It left over 100 priceless clocks missing for decades. With no arrests and few answers, the case stayed unsolved until long after the thief was gone. We tell the story, unpack what really happened, and end with lessons learned through a teacher’s lens.
