Diamond thieves stole three 'priceless' sets of 18th-century jewellery from a German museum in an early-morning raid today.
The Green Vault in Dresden has suffered an 'immeasurable' loss after burglars broke into the building in the early hours of this morning, officials said.
The thieves switched off a power supply at 5am before breaking through a window into a museum which once boasted it was 'as secure as Fort Knox', it is believed.
Once inside, they stole three jewellery ensembles which were commissioned by Saxony's former ruler Augustus the Strong in an 18th-century show of power.
Museum experts have said the items are priceless and could never be sold, but Bild reported that up to a billion euros' worth of treasures may have been stolen - which would make it the biggest art heist in history.
Two thieves were seen on CCTV cameras inside the museum but they escaped in a getaway car and a manhunt has so far proved fruitless.

Cool...
Tuning off the power and busting a window...
Sounds like Ft Knox to me.
And is there any gold in Ft Knox? Maybe that was looted too.
Sounds like commission work...
That would have been an inside job.
The climbed in through a window. Just like Fort Knox.
Easy when you have the key, run the place and control who audits you.
I'm thinking of a different word than 'loot'...
Perfect metaphor for ALL that is European today...!
When will they defend their stuff..?
It is THERE FOR THE TAKING.
NO will to fight and enforce.
Are we different? We will find out.
“Courage of Our Convictions”
Nice slogan but WHAT convictions...?
Finally a good old fashioned crime story, instead of nonsense from Florida.
If they climbed in through the bathroom window, I’d suggest asking Paul McCartney his whereabouts when the robbery occurred.

Hey, that’s what happened to Epstein
The genetically strong Europeans were all killed during the twentieth century.
All that is left are wimped out genes lacking the will and ability for self preservation. The Euro genes lack the ability to withstand the stronger genetic material invading from the south.
It is Darwinian survival of the fittest and what is apparent is that white European are unfit to effectively resist
It is not politics. It is biology
They will have a hell of a time selling the jewels.
Hans Gruber you magnificent bastard.
It’ll be hard to fence ‘em, but their wives will look terrific this Christmas (if only in the privacy of the boudoir).
You are definitely on to something. It amazes me how much my grandchildren resemble even my parents in so many ways despite their upbringing. In the nature vs nurture argument, nature wins basically every time.
Those rocks will be cut into much smaller, less valuable but nearly untraceable chunks almost immediately.
