“Flee” to where?

From the article:

“Empress Eugénie’s diamond diadem and her large corsage-bow brooch — an imperial ensemble of rare craftsmanship — were stolen from the famed museum.

Eugénie’s emerald-set imperial crown, with more than 1,300 diamonds — was later found outside the museum, damaged but recoverable.”

_____________

So, these crooks were able to use a cherry-picker to enter a window that was covered by cameras, yet in broad daylight and used chainsaws to gain access to the jewel cases with visitors onlooking in horror.

They escaped with the Crown Jewels via the same cherry-picker. Failed at their attempt of setting the bucket truck on fire and left behind on the ground the actual crown Itself with over 1,300 diamonds.

Clearly, they’re not sending their best and it is truly amazing security of such historic and monetary value was so lacking.

Somebody likely wanted the jewels for their private collection. They cant sell this stuff in the black market.

Would it be a bad time to mention a woman assumed the head of security position?

Les flics (French cops) won’t fool around with these suspects/perps, particularly if they are Algerian.

My question is how exactly does one fence such a haul?

Or was the theft pre-arranged by a wealthy collector?

So stupid to flee to Algeria by airplane, through the French Airport closest to the crime scene.

Hint: Next time, drive across the border.
Drive across the next border.
Drive to a Mediterranean port, take a private boat back to Algeria.
Return to Africa on the hundreds of empty private boats shuttling new innocent and needy “immigrants and asylum seekers” into France.

I’ll be darned. I didn’t think they would catch the thieves. Two still haven’t been caught, but I guess it’s just a matter of time now.

Once again, with this jewel heist, we are all reminded why the French can so easily be beaten in war and overwhelmed by scoundrels.

The French are so busy being ignorant and arrogant, they are never prepared for real trouble.

They love to look down their noses at others who steal French lunches while the French are so busy smirking and insulting others actually a lot smarter.

You can steal priceless jewels from the French in broad daylight.

You can’t fix stupid.

The French have been getting their butts kicked for centuries.

The men, from Seine-Saint-Denis, a suburb north of Paris,

That's the most notorious "no go" Muslim/African ghetto in Paris.
