Just following today’s daring jewelry heist ...

The guy on the right looks quite dapper, but do people still dress like that nowadays?

The robbers used a chainsaw and a forklift??  Sounds like some rather elaborate planning.

He has the appearance of someone with an appreciation of fine jewelry...hmmmm.  🤨

It's a young Poirot or Maigret arriving on scene to solve the case.

Trying no to drag this out of subject.... Have you seen the new Maigret?

Sex (looks) sales!

Even the whole crew is not only good looking but in great shape! We need more shirtless shots of the male actors. 😂

Look at that guy on the right side of the photo. Only in Paris.

With the way the two cops are eyeing this guy they seem to see him as either a suspect or prospect. (Does have a kind of dandy vibe about him.)

How did the Louvre even have a window that could be forced without alarming? Did the perps plan their heist after watching How to Steal a Million?

Apparently they are supposed to alarm and it is unclear if it did, as security prompted evacuation and therefore at some point knew something was up. It’s unclear as well whether the alarm would be glaringly loud, klaxon-grade, or only signal a breach to monitors in the central security control room. Certainly has the flavour of condom breakage in a cluster fcuk.

Wow, the value of the stolen jewels is estimated at $102 million!

Hmm, either the thieves were incredibly lucky, or they knew in advance that the window they were planning to break was not alarmed.  I’m guessing the latter.

When you think of how much (little) a museum security guard makes, it’s understandable that one of them could be tempted into a “consulting” role for the team who pulled off the job.

I saw some jewelry market expert who knew something about the black market being interviewed.  He said the jewelry might go into someone’s private collection as-is, but more likely will be disassembled so the individual jewels and precious metals can be sold back in the open market.  That’s a really sad thought that the history and craftsmanship that went into those historic national treasures would be lost.
