Annie Reilly: The Cleverest and Shortest Millionaire Thief in America

In the mid-1800s, a five-foot-one Irish woman named Annie Reilly became the most prolific female thief in America — and she did it all by looking completely harmless. Posing as a nursemaid or housekeeper, she'd talk her way into wealthy homes across New York, Brooklyn, and Philadelphia, strip them of thousands in jewelry within days, then vanish under a new alias. She operated under at least eight fake names, escaped Sing Sing prison multiple times, and was connected to Marm Mandelbaum's powerful criminal network. NYPD Chief Inspector Thomas Byrnes wrote that she stole more property in fifteen years than any four other women combined. A prison warden called her the most remarkable woman he'd ever housed. No dramatic capture ever ended her story — she simply disappeared from the record, leaving behind one of the most fascinating criminal careers of the Gilded Age.
