Esattamente quanto tempo ha a disposizione la polizia per recuperare i gioielli rubati del Louvre prima che scompaiano per sempre

The reckoned the Hatton Garden stuff was out of the UK with in hours instead off being in wheelie bins waiting to be counted lol. It really depends on the thieves after plan same with Securitas 53 million in cash the found large amounts but never get it all. I’d like to see it returned to the Museum as its historical but dare say if they are lucky they might recover some of it .

Ah.. Lupin again.

has anyone looked in the British Museum for them? history teaches us that the first place we need to look for stolen priceless artefacts is there…

What is the point in stealing so famous jewels and artwork? Who wants this if they cannot put it up on display in fear of it being recognised? What is the value?

Some could feel powerful by actually being able to get their hands on this, but is it really worth it?

Were the real jewels on display, or were they costume replicas?

The world can now see how insanely bad our politician are to have permitted this theft to take place.

Like the The windows in the room weren’t bulletproof, there weren’t any security guards with tasers or anything like that. No. Absolutely disgraceful. Everyone involved in this scandal should resign immediately. But of course, since this is France, they won’t.

Lol, there is no way these guys are still in Europe. Get real, it will be decades/centuries before they are discovered in the private collection of some oil tycoon or something.

They had probably 3 hours. That ship sailed long ago. Gems will be re-cut, gold will be melted down will be unrecognisable after a few hours

Is this article serious?

> “So, what will the robbers likely do with the stolen items? Because the jewels are easily identifiable, experts believe the thieves will try to dismantle and destroy them if they are not quickly recovered.”

I don’t think someone would just steal these special and unique items just to dismantle and destroy them. What’s the point of that?

It depends. If it’s a commissioned job, then they can stay intact in some “private collection”

Just look for a perfectly honest rich commissioner

Who knows? The thing is, these jewels will be extremy hard to sell as they are. Every expert will know what they look like. 

So unless they are destroyed and all the elements sold seperately, you can consider them implossible to sell. 

I don’t know what the penalties are for stealing and destroying national treasures, but I Imagine it being a bit higher than just stealing these jewels.

Is there any *real* value in the gold and gems if they melt the gold and dismantle the pieces ?

The value is the whole jewelry, not the parts.

It’s not that diamonds are hard to find these days (and the green ones)

Some billionaire is already wearing them on his head while pleasuring himself in the mirror

This is, obviously, from somebody (name: Arthur Brand) ‘in the scene’ by word of mouth so they might as well have made it up. But this guy __recovered__ a stolen Van Gogh 3.5 years after it was stolen (the painting “Lentetuin, de pastorietuin te Nuenen in het voorjaar” (pastoral garden in the city of Nuenen in spring) was stolen in 2020):

According to Arthur, that painting went round the criminal scene like a hot potato. Everybody just tossed in that painting as a way to sweeten the deal. Clearly nobody had any idea how to sell it; that painting was and will remain _way_ too hot to actually sell for serious money.

In the end some drugs baron that got caught wanted to use it to knock a few months off of their sentence. Except, this drugs baron wasn’t themselves involved in the stealing of the painting. So, offering it for sentence reduction doesn’t work because it implies you admit to another crime (receiving and dealing in stolen goods knowingly), so exactly how much sentence reduction is it really going to get you? It __would__ be an absolutely fantastic tool for reducing sentences for those involved in the actual stealing of the painting, but those had all already been caught and had sat out their time; there was no sentence left to reduce with this painting for anybody.

So, round and round it went until criminal gangs didn’t want it as a ‘sweetener’ _at all_ given that getting caught with it in your possession just makes things worse.

So eventually some criminal owner just handed it over to Arthur Brand. According to Arthur, no strings attached and at no cost. They just wanted to be rid of it.

All very amateuristic. Here’s hoping the same thing will happen here. Except, there’s presumably some value to be obtained from deconstructing the goods here. Fortunately with the Van Gogh that wasn’t nearly as feasible.

Already too late. They definitely aren’t waiting a week to get things done
