Really the first thing I thought of too, like decades of heist movies and shit like that, and none of it really happens.

Have other museums been targeted lately?

Yes. In September, thieves using a blowtorch and power tools stole nuggets of raw gold worth about $700,000 from the National Museum of Natural History, a few subway stops from the Louvre in Paris.

That same month, two porcelain dishes and a vase worth about €9.5 million, or about $11 million, were stolen from the Adrien Dubouché National Museum in Limoges, France. And in 2024, thieves stole elaborate snuff boxes from the Cognacq-Jay Museum in Paris.

Interesting. Well I suppose with the world hurtling into uncertainty all over the place you might as well take your shot.

Danny Ocean is back at it.

Damn, I hope they know what these pieces are worth and at the least sell it to some worthy collector who knows how to take care of them.

There's all kinds of amazing heists in modern history. Sadly, most end with them getting caught because they were stupid

Ah history sure, I guess I was talking about modern day stuff, high tech heists. I suppose with all the advances in surveillance technology and firepower the ante has been upped but there's always been enterprising and/or crazy folks willing to give it a go.
