Thieves Steal Jewels From The Louvre Museum In Paris

Am I hearing this Louvre story correctly? There were NO museum cameras there? How is that possible?

DEI AT THE CENTER OF LOUVRE HEIST In 2021, the Louvre tapped a woman, Laurence des Cars, as their Chair with a mission to "feminize recruitment" to key posts in the museum. In 2024, almost a year prior to the date of the break-in, Laurence des Cars tapped ANOTHER WOMAN, Dominique Buffin, as the museum's HEAD OF SECURITY. A French newspaper interviewed Buffin after securing the high-profile post: "Policing is a risky profession a man's job. 'Well, actually, no,' assures Dominique Buffin." Just a year later, a cadre of thieves managed to ransack precious historical jewels at the Louvre after comically climbing a massive ladder from the street in what could've been a scene from 'The Pink Panther.' None of it was sophisticated, nor stealthy. Yet, no one stopped them. You cannot build a competent society when you place diversity quotas over merit. It fails EVERY TIME.

I need more details about the Louvre heist because this sounds way too easy. What do you mean they just climbed up and cut a hole in the glass? That’s how Bugs Bunny would steal from a museum.

On October 19, a group of thieves stole a collection of Napoleonic-era jewels from the Louvre in Paris while it was open to the public. As audacious as the heist was, it isn't the first such attempt. In fact, the museum has a long history of daring thefts. on.natgeo.com/42RjkWB

Louvre Heist, France The priceless crown of Empress Eugénie — set with 1,354 diamonds and 56 emeralds — was found broken in Paris. It was discovered damaged near the museum. I still can’t wrap my head around this.
