I'm thinking if I want something ripped off, hire Euros to do it, they have a lot more style and Imagination than Americans do these days

Someone explain to me what these fellas were going to do with these jewels. I don’t think you can just roll into a pawn shop and flip these particular items without raising an eyebrow or two.


Pop the jewels out of the bands and sell them each individually.

I have been to Paris many times, corporate office is there and grew up in Europe.
It was being funny/ironic the snooty French on a scooter with a cigarette & croissant ??….

That’s probably faster than those little shitty police cars with the one blue light on top they drive. The thieves can escape down an alley while the shitty wee-oooo wee-oooo police cars get wedged in between the walls as they chase them. The cops can climb out of the sunroof and exclaim sacre’ bleu! Zey got awee!

Likely lost to history by now. Melted down and moved already.


Great job, France.

I could be wrong, but you don’t rob the Louvre to melt down the loot and make worth .0001% of the original piece.

That's the click bait narrative the media are running with, fwiw.

All depends on the items, I suppose. Not getting caught might be worth it, but again, not an int'l jewel thief or black market dealer.

They will be recut and then sold. Once the PM is melted and the stones are recut, the artifacts are gone forever, and the chances of catching the thieves go down significantly.

There are Rich collectors who trade in the black market. Especially in the middle east. Here too. The guy from American Pickers got caught up in stolen antiquites.
