Quote from Lieutenant Disher in Mr. Monk Buys a House
Mr. Sutton: It was before my time, but my father told me all about it. He was in his office right up there when it happened. 1968, the day before Christmas. Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah, I was just a kid, but I remember everybody talking about that. Is that the gate? Mr. Sutton: Yes, sir. Three gunmen stole a milk truck, rammed it through that gate, they shot two guards and walked away with $4 million. Lieutenant Disher: This was back when $4 million was considered a lot of money. Captain Stottlemeyer: Just go on.
