Where was Nicholas Cage?
I never understood stealing high value items. That shit is gonna be so hot it’d take a deep network to fence.
The article can’t be bothered to include any pictures of the stolen jewels
edit: I think these are the stolen jewels
“Why do you think these are the stolen items?”
“Well, for one, I just took these pictures in my cellar of stolen jewels…”They would have taken their own photos, but the jewels were stolen so they couldn’t.
Last headline I saw about this said 7 minutes. Pretty soon the thieves will be reaching back in time to grab these things.
Maybe they’re hoping that, by posting the wrong figure, they’ll compel the thieves to correct them, thereby revealing themselves.
6 or 7 minutes you say? I’m sorry. I’ll see myself out.

Noo, possibly couldn’t, they’re the good guys now
I just watched the sequel, it was pretty good. Dreamworks is on some real solid shit lately
So you have the jewels. Now what? Do they just go into some rich person’s secret collection? It’s not like you can fence these things.
They think they’ll dismantle and melt them and try to fence the stones (stones, especially famous ones are pretty worthless). They should get about 200 k€ for the lot if they’re lucky. At least according to art specialists debating on news channels.
If they’re sophisticated thieves, they will be sold intact to some overseas billionaire for much more than that. You’d be surprised (or maybe not that surprised) how much stolen art and artefacts winds up in the private collections of rich assholes.
For some reason, this is not considered likely by the investigators. Don’t ask me why.
I’d check the owners house, I assume they’re insured.
They’re part of the French crown jewels and had been acquired by the Louvre in 1985 so they were kept in (and stolen from) the owner’s house.
On jobs like these, they already have a buyer.
They said with suspicious confidence…
When the French Blue was stolen after the revolution, it was recut and probably became the Hope Diamond.
If they can’t find a buyer, they’ll melt it down and recut any gems that are too recognizable. Easy money, if you know the right people.
i bet it was lupin!
It fits

Someone should really try to beat that record should they be returned.
“Guys, the jewels, go get them.”

Underrated comment.
Run the jewels, fast!
1300 diamonds in Eugénie‘s crown? That shoulda been sold and given to the people long time ago. Take a pic and move on.
They were in a museum, they belonged to the people there
