A brazen daylight heist at the most visited museum in the world around 9:30 this morning. And tonight, those thieves still on the run. The robbery so dramatic, like a scene out of the Netflix show Lupin. >> The necklace belonged to Marie Anuette. We’re gonna steal it. The interior minister says the experienced burglars used this ladder mounted on the back of a truck, then broke a window with a disc cutter, forcing their way in during museum hours.
>> What would you risk everything to get? I mean, would you would you climb through a window? Would you break glass? Would you dodge alarms and even face prison time for a handful of glittering jewels? Well, that’s exactly what these guys did. It was a crew of masked thieves in Paris last week.
It’s now being called the heist of the century. By the end of this segment, you’re going to see why that story, as shocking as it is, actually points us to something far more valuable and how you and I can walk away today richer than any thief could ever dream. I mean, this scene sounds like something straight out of an Oceans 11 movie, right? I mean, just after the Louvre Museum opened up its doors in broad daylight, four men in neon colored safety construction vests pull up in a cherry picker.
You know, one of those those basket lifts, those electric ladders used by construction crews. They weren’t even trying to pretend like they were thieves. They smashed through an upstairs window. They threatened guards with an angle grinder. And in just a couple of minutes, I think it was 7 minutes, they looted the gallery that holds the French crown jewels and they got away on scooters.
I mean, you can’t make this up. Eight priceless pieces, tiaras, necklaces, earrings, all gone. And then they even dropped one of them, and it was the crown of Empress Eugene, covered in over a thousand diamonds and over 50 emeralds. as they made their getaway. So, the experts are saying that this was no amateur job.
This was organized crime. I mean, precision timing. 7 minutes. But here’s the irony. Whether they know it or not, those jewels are virtually unsellable because they’ve got to dismantle and break them all down in order to not get caught. The moment they stole those jewels, they lost their true worth.
Because the beauty of them and their worth is bound to their story. If you break them down and sell them for parts, they’re just metal and diamonds. You know, as as I read about this, I can’t help but think about the story that Jesus told about the man who discovered a pearl of great price. When he found it, what did he do? He sold everything that he owned just to buy the land where the pearl was buried because he knew its true worth.
