    A special mechanical extending ladder(bit like the fire brigade or removal firms use), and disc cutters for the glass.

    France's Crown jewels are probably in Eastern Europe by now. And probably in numerous pieces.

            Just heard something about the crime on NPR. Apparently they left a wealth of evidence and there were three of them. They anticipate capture very soon.

                    5 more arrested, for a total of 7. Jewels still not recovered.

                            The Paris prosecutor is offering reduced sentences if they bring back the jewels. Makes sense.

                              25 years in Prison or a reduced sentence where I come out poor and dead within 3 months? No thanks…..

                                  My daughter just sent us a video they did at work. The project managers were Louvre robbers (hardhats and visibility vests) and another one was Princess Diana. They stole her jewels. It was hilariously choreographed. I’ll post it if I can figure out how to

                                    I guess the British Museum stole all the good passwords decades ago.
