Al Capone's Vault Doors From 1928 to 1932, Al Capone moved his center of operations into the Lexington Hotel across the street from his old HQ in the Metropole Hotel and occupied the fifth floor. Not to be confused with Geraldo Rivera's infamous "Capone's Secret Vault," the door pictured here was for a vault in Capone's office.

Gary Lee Todd Portrait Depicting Plate in Skull with Four Stainless Steel Pins I had my head repeatedly pounded onto the floor of the Rockford Police Station by a deranged patrolman "R Bast" while at least 7-8 other cops looked on and applauded. My crime was having witnessed this cop beating another person who was illegally detained. The skull fracture led to leakage of spinal fluid which had to be repaired. Rockford, Illinois, USA.
