Mr X sold his flat in 2013 while aged in his 70s and has since disappeared from public and police view. 'If he'd got his hands on as much gold as we think he did, many years later, his mode of transport hadn't changed, which I found a little surprising,' he said. In 1964 he stole 14,000lbs of cultured pearls from the Japanese Trading Centre in Pitt Street, Sydney, and did two years jail for stealing $41,000 from an ES and A Bank in 1967.īy 1995 he was so careful he appeared to not spend Mr Packer's gold - believed to have been melted down and sold in Melbourne - in any way that drew attention.įifteen years after the crime, Mr Watson spotted him by chance in the Sydney Airport car park getting out of the same ute used in the heist. He had two other convictions from the previous decade, when he would have been in his 20s and not yet paranoid enough. Mr X had not been arrested since the 1970s, when he was unknowingly in the background of an incriminating photo. Mr X lived in a $1 million flat in Woollahra, in Sydney's east, of which he only used a few rooms and was fanatical about counter-surveillance When they tried to follow him, Mr X would lead police on a merry chase over half of Sydney, just so he could use a pay phone.
'Or "I'm presently doing this or doing that", and he would sit in the lounge room.' 'He sat on the one part of the lounge and a coffee table in front of him where the phone was and he would ring up people and you could hear him say: "I'm at Hornsby now" or "I'm at Sutherland".' And he had a gym, a work bench and some weights in one of the rooms. 'The only rooms he used were the kitchen, the lounge room, where he used to sit and the bedroom. The kitchen door was at the back,' Mr Jungblut said. 'When we eventually did a search of his unit, we found that he entered through the back kitchen door. Mr X's skill was the reason police gravitated towards him in the first place - he was 'one of the top three in the country' and one of few who could pull off the heist.īut with no physical evidence, it would be all down to Mr X slipping up and incriminating himself - but he was too smart and careful for that.

Ms Wheatley either let slip the details of the gold safe in pillow talk, or deliberately told him to get revenge for being sacked after 18 years when her drinking problem was discovered. They believe he was sleeping with Mr Packer's longtime former secretary Pat Wheatley, who lived near his $1million flat in Woollahra, in Sydney's east. He then loaded them in to the back of his trusty white ute and simply drove away.ĭetectives initially thought it must have been an inside job as there was too much he would have needed to know without an inside man. Police believe he did this by wheeling them on a hand cart to a nearby service lift that led to a loading dock where only Mr Packer parked and was empty on weekends. He then had to empty 283kg of gold bars out of the safe and make off with them single-handedly. Mr X was originally thought to have used a thermal lance, but expert Mark Irvine, who examined the safe in 1995, believes it had to be a small torch powered by burning oxyacetylene gas. The only sign that the safe had been robbed was a small burn mark from when a charred piece of metal burned away and hit the blood-red carpet.
