Dief! plot
Frans van Reeth was one of the most notorious, but also the most colorful figures of the Belgian crime world for more than fifteen years. He was never armed. His burglaries and robberies were spectacular and daring, but usually also insufficiently prepared, so that Frans van Reeth spent half his life in penal institutions. Up to five times he managed to escape from prison. His whole life was a cat-and-mouse game with the police and the gendarmerie. Frans van Reeth therefore regularly made the front pages of the newspapers and became a controversial folk hero.
