Seems way back in the early days of the space race, the CIA managed to steal the Lutnik space craft. The soviets were showing it off and touring it around by truck. The CIA managed to steal the truck with it's cargo load overnight and had it returned the next morning with the soviets never knowing it had been taken.
I had never heard of this one before, but pretty funny shit.
