Was it Lupin or Lupin the 3rd?
Lupin strikes again!
I bet they were after the special Nintendo 3DS consoles used for the audio guides. They are phased out starting last month and people were legit trying to steal them
/jk but I wish lol
For anyone wondering what was stolen, it’s apparently nine pieces of jewelry from the Napoleon collection, on display in the Galerie d’Apollon.

I haven’t found any sources with information on what has been stolen yet, I’m assuming that it isn’t going to be the Mona Lisa right..?
Fingers crossed it’s the Mona Lisa.
Then I could actually visit the place without being put off by the nine hour long queues just to get in, 99% of which just want to see the Mona Lisa, take a photo on their phone, then leave.
Would also make a bloody good film in years to come.
„After breaking windows, two men entered the building, while a third remained outside. The thieves stole nine pieces from Napoleon and the Empress’s jewelry collection: a necklace, a brooch, a tiara, and more. They were placed in the Napoleon and French Sovereigns display cases.“

>Selon les premiers éléments de l’enquête, les malfaiteurs, entièrement cagoulés, ont accédé au bâtiment côté quais de Seine, où se déroulent des travaux. Ils ont emprunté un monte-charge pour accéder directement à la salle visée, dans la galerie d’Apollon.
>Après avoir brisé des vitres, deux hommes ont pénétré à l’intérieur, alors qu’un troisième restait posté dehors. Les voleurs ont raflé neuf pièces de la collection de bijoux de Napoléon et de l’impératrice : collier, broche, diadème… Ils étaient placés dans les vitrines Napoléon et Souverains Français.
>Selon une source interne au Louvre, le fameux Régent, le plus gros diamant de la collection pesant plus de 140 carats, n’a pas été subtilisé. Le préjudice reste à évaluer.

>According to preliminary findings, the perpetrators, who were fully hooded, entered the building from the Seine side, where construction work is currently underway. They used a goods lift to gain direct access to their target room in the Apollo Gallery.
>After breaking the windows, two men entered the room while a third remained outside. The thieves stole nine pieces from Napoleon and the Empress’s jewellery collection, including a necklace, brooch and tiara. These items were displayed in the Napoleon and French Sovereigns showcases.
> According to a source inside the Louvre, the famous Regent, the largest diamond in the collection weighing over 140 carats, was not stolen. The damage is yet to be assessed.

Someone get me Tom Hanks! Or maybe Nic Cage!
How do they sell this stuff? Presumably they steal it on commission?
Burglary surely, robbery is with weapons.
How did this even happen? I thought the security was top notch in landmarks like the Louvre.
Billionaires with secret showrooms will put them on display
Wouldn’t these be easy to track with this day and age? There are so many cameras on roads.
Assane Diop is still at it
No underground tunnels that took years of construction, no mission impossible artristry going through windows and dodging laser detectors. No, it was Dave and Mike from down the road who smashed the window, grabbed it and ran off. Insane.
100% going to be melted for scrap and not sold to some old dude who collects historical artifacts. Fuckin bottom feeders man.
Lupin ?
I’m guessing someone has been watching the new series of Frauds.
Was it Nic Cage!?
Would say that this is the work of Lupin, but chainsaws show no class lol
If we were in a Dan Brown novel, tomorrow an alleged descendant of Napoleon would proclaim himself the new emperor of France on the basis of an obscure law of the 2nd French Republic and lawyers would prove him right.
Usual suspects
To bring come context: there have been a string of theft targetting French museum, due to insufficient security (low funding) and high-value items.
For example, 6M€ (and much more due to the unique, historical nature) worth of items where stolen 1 month ago from the Museum of Natural History in Paris.
