Crown jewels? On “No Kings” Weekend?
They have not protected paintings from people throwing paint or soup on art so why should we be surprised they got robbed by jewel thieves? The Louvre needs to get it together regarding security,
They must have wealthy black market buyers or plan to melt it down - both have happened in these types of heists, b/c the stuff is so iconic and easily recognized.
The sooner the better.
This sounds like a movie plot
“Dreyfus: Understand something Clouseau. When I made you an inspector, it was not because I thought you had any value as a detective. It was because I thought you were the stupidest policeman in all of France, a hopeless, deluded idiot.
- Clouseau: Then I was not promoted for my merits?”
Getting them contained before visitors arrived might be a problem. But, hey. I can’t think of everything.
Doctor Who had a great serial involving stealing the Mona Lisa from the Louvre.
City Of Death.
Nuñez said the thieves used a basket lift, forced open a window and smashed display cases.
++++++++++
Sounds like when my friend and I broke into our grade school back in 1973. We were 10. Not sure why we did it, (just because??) but we entered via a second floor window after climbing up a drainage pipe. The security at this museum sounds like it was on par with Grace Lutheran grade school. Pathetic.
A shallow prize for the effort. I could have those jewels in my top dresser drawer and never give them a thought.
Foreign banditos, they got away on motorcycles. Used chainsaws to break open the jewelry displays. Probably thieves are from the Balkans.
This was a well-cased and bold operation.

CANNOT MAKE THIS STUFF UP————ON STEROIDS
The French lie and spew falsehoods. It was not a robbery and none of the perps (if ever caught) will be charged with such.
You see, this event was a simple burglary.
Besides, the jewels that were taken were knock-offs. The real ones are either locked up in a highly secure safe or have been stolen many years ago.
Think for a minute, why do you think the crown belonging to Napoleon’s wife, Empress Eugenie, was discovered damaged outside the gallery? Because it was a cheap counterfeit.
