Long Lost Loot is the third main mission in "The Heist" downloadable content for Marvel's Spider-Man. NYPD's Detective Mackey contacts Spider-Man to ask for his assistance in tracking down paintings stolen by Walter Hardy, the original Black Cat.
The mission unlocks the Hardy's Stolen Art series of side activities.
Story[]
NYPD's Detective Mackey contacts Spider-Man to come in Greenwich's PD. There he tells him that 20 years before Felicia Hardy there was "another black cat" who recently died in prison. Some of the items he stole were never found, and though there is a new lead that may help find them, the department do not want to deal with an old case. Spider-Man agrees to help and goes to Midtown.
While Peter swings to the place, Mackey tells him that Black Cat can be using special isotope americium-241 to locate his hideouts after prison and that this case is very important to him since he is going to retire soon and want to solve him as soon as possible. With that information Peter configures he's detector to search for traces of isotope and finds false power supply on the roof of Chrysler Building.
In the false power supply, Spider-Man finds a stolen painting, "Freedom". Mackey thanks Spider-Man and tells that he will send somebody to collect them and that the first Black Cat's name was Walter Hardy and gives him locations of other stolen paintings. Peter highlights that this seems to be a Hardy family trait.
Walkthrough[]

From this point, the Hardy's Stolen Art series of side missions is available, involving finding similar stolen art pieces around New York City and culminates in a final side mission. Shortly after the mission ends, a call from Mary Jane Watson opens up the next story mission, "Like Old Times". The Hardy's Stolen Art series can be completed any time, including right now to finish its side mission, if desired before moving onto the next story mission.
