The Great Heists Thread

Two lads and an axe got away with possible €1bn in stolen jewels from Dresden. I was in Dresden and saw said jewels but to be honest I wouldn’t have paid that much for them.

Now that I think of it said museum was a very low tech affair, can’t believe the lads were able to smash a case with an axe and get a billion worth of jewels.

They’ll be worth a lot less after they break them up and sell them for parts presumably.

There’s been a series of big jewel heists around France the last few years. I’d imagine those lads are the prime suspects.

Some of them were jailed recently enough, but you’d think there’s still a few at large
