In a heist that shocked the world, a small group of thieves, using a basket lift and power tools, managed to break into the Louvre in broad daylight and steal invaluable jewels. After breaking into a second floor window right after the museum opened on Sunday, robbers smashed display cases and grabbed earrings, necklaces, tiaras, and other jewels before making their escape. The stolen pieces, dating back to the 19th century, have been described as priceless, and France’s president called the theft an attack on the country’s heritage. As of now, police are still on the hunt for the thieves. Christopher A. Marinello, CEO and founder of Art Recovery International, joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss the astonishing heist.
