Quote:Art detective Arthur Brand told Sky News the heist is "the theft of the decade" - adding that in order to recover the "priceless" items, police will need to find the culprits in just one week.
"These crown jewels are so famous, you just cannot sell them," Mr Brand said. "The only thing they can do is melt the silver and gold down, dismantle the diamonds, try to cut them. "That's the way they will probably disappear forever.
He continued: "They [the police] have a week. If they catch the thieves, the stuff might still be there. If it takes longer, the loot is probably gone and dismantled. It's a race against time."

Far be it for me to disagree with Art detective Arthur Brand but I think they were likely stolen to order.
In and out in 5 minutes and no violence used , impressive.

Lol. Just LOL.
The french crown jewels ... gone ... but not forgotten.
The heist of the decade took about as much time as a French man having sex.
Sorry!

Crazy how brazen thieves have become! I kinda wondered about it being for someones private collection. If you want something that rare, your going to keep it locked up for your enjoyment only anyway.

Madame Dominique Buffin, excuse me, your crown just slipped!
And no, not metaphorically.
Behind the heist of the century(?) at the Louvre, the shadow of the diversity hire looms and with the usual suspects, here we go again. They found the crown of France lying in a gutter. Does the emperor have no clothes?

"Our price: de-recognize the Palestinian State." And Telegram boss offers to buy stolen Louvre jewelry.

Prescription for sanity:
A. The criminals;
B. The head of security at the Louvre;
C. The minister of justice;
-- all publicly guillotined in the Place de la Republique.
Watching civilization collapse in real time is not funny.

I just don't have the words...

@EndtheMadnessNow
I guess that explains why nobody bothered to check on the lorry with a basket crane parked outside , DEI strikes again , how embarrassing for France.

Folks seem to be shocked at the audacity and brazenness of the heist. Let me clue y'all in to something: all of the most successful criminals and spies (and let's be honest here - the two are the same thing, the only difference being one has a state sponsorship and the other is completely free-lance) know that brazenness and audacity work.
Being furtive and secretive invites suspicion, which leads to questioning and surveillance. On the directly opposite hand, being bold, brazen, audacious and in-your-face doesn't. That's because everyone assumes that folks who are that in-your-face could not possibly be up to no good... because they're not being furtive and secretive. Criminals and spies hide in dark alleys, right? RIGHT?
No one ever questions you under those circumstances, because clearly you are there to do what you are supposed to be doing. Otherwise, you'd be hiding and wearing cloaks and daggers. So, if you... for example... park a giant assed bucket-truck in front of a museum, and are confident enough to even leave it there overnight, then clearly you are planning either repair or maintenance work on that building. No one questions it. Who ordered that work? I dunno. It must have been someone else, but clearly SOMEONE did, else the bucket-truck would not be parked so boldly where it is! I don't have time to look into it, I'm too busy doing security-stuff to bother with maintenance workers.
Simply wearing maintenance uniforms and entering through the front entrance, however, would invite some degree of scrutiny as one passed through security checkpoints... but no one checkpoints what is clearly maintenance equipment OUTSIDE the museum. So, you ride the bucket up, kick in a window, grab the goods,and you're back out and gone before the last glass shard even hits the floor.
Other real-world examples from my wicked and misspent youth:
In trade school, a couple of friends and I would sometimes get bored with class. What's a fella to do? We would pick up our stools and leave class to roam the hallways at will. No one ever questioned it - we were, after all, carrying stools as we roamed, so clearly we were just delivering them somewhere, or possibly retrieving them FROM somewhere. No one ever asked where that "somewhere" was. Even the Principal of the place - that, I think, is "headmaster" to our UK brethren - would smile at us, and nod and wave. He never, EVER, questioned us as to what we were doing, because clearly we were doing SOMETHING!
Also at trade school, I and those same two partners in crime once took our tools and went down to the nursing classroom, knocked on the door, and told the instructor we were from the heating and AC class, and were there to fix her AC unit. Never mind that there was nothing wrong with the AC unit... she let us in to work on it anyhow, under the assumption that there had to be something wrong with it, else we would not be there.
So, we went in and proceeded to tear the unit down, and then put it back together, which gave us about an hour and a half of free time to talk to and flirt with the nursing students.
Our parting words to the instructor were: "The condensers are cleared, so it should be fine now. Y'all have a nice day!" Being the instructor for a gaggle of prospective nurses, she knew nursing backwards and forwards... but had no idea what a "condenser" was. It sounded right, and we reported success, so all was well in her world. To this day, no one but us, the nursing students we flirted with, and now you, know the real story of what happened and why.
Boldness, brazenness, and audacity are the keys to many a successful caper!

Having done security and security consultation over decades of my life, I can confidently say that I don't blame them. If I'm at an unarmed post, I'm not going to stop anyone from doing anything. The sole job of unarmed security is to observe and report - they're not paid to interfere with anything at all.
If folks want their guards to act like armed guards, then arm them. Vet them for mental defects, and if they have none, arm 'em up. Anyone who cannot be trusted with weapons also cannot be trusted to do security related jobs.
I, for one, am not going to risk my one and only life needlessly for a bunch of shiny geegaws if I'm not armed and the other guys might be That's a pretty certain path to get your wife a widow's pension and have your kids brought up without a dad.
That's coming from a guy who carried a gun for a living for most of his adult life, and occasionally found himself in pretty hairy situations. If you can't trust me to carry a gun, best not trust me to be your hero in an emergency, either. I'll lean against a wall and watch 'em carry everything in the place off, because that's what you're paying me to do - watch and report, not body block a bullet.
