FBI accountants used forensic techniques to solve the French Laundry burglary.
The French Laundry is not a laundry but a famous restaurant in Napa Valley, ground zero for wineries in California. Read the story it is better than my trying to recount it for you.
The FBI has always required agents to either have law or accounting degrees as they have always investigated white collar crime for US Attorneys. But this is an interesting example. One of the buyers was suspicious of the origin of the bottles and tipped off the Feds. The rest is an intriguing forensic accounting story.
