With all the crap that's going on in the world I am SO HERE FOR a good old heist https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-19/louvre-museum-in-paris-robbed/105909826
As a lover of heist docos and movies, I'm looking forward to this one.
You’d think the louvre would have learned after that kerfuffle with the Mona Lisa
Minions, tonight, we steal the moon!
a classic
there has been construction and renovation at the museum
the thieves dressed as construction workers and used construction equipment openly
Ah, the ‘old high-vis vest and clipboard’ trick. Gets you in anywhere
There are not enough good old fashioned heists these days. I blame the younger generations and their addiction to screens, everything has to be online scams, they're not willing to get their hands dirty and go for the hands-on high-value jewlery theft.
