Louvre robbery evokes notorious "Pink Panther" gang that stole $500 million worth of art, jewels

The brazen daylight robbery at the Louvre in Paris is reminding some of a notorious gang of European thieves.

Pink Panther Gang. Never heard of them before today. At least I don’t remember hearing anything about them.

No proven involvement. Maybe a spinoff or copycat.

The full heist.
They dropped the crown during their escape.

Seven arrests have been made. Jewels haven’t yet been recovered.

The thieves are being caught rather quickly. Not pros apparently.

I've been watching The Gold on PBS...the finale is next Sunday. It's a true story.

It's about 30 million, three tons of gold bars that was stolen years ago in the UK. The thieves never dreamed they would get such a massive amount of gold. So they had to figure out how to get the gold into circulation and launder the money. And about the police head guy in charge of catching them.

Very interesting story, I recommend it if you like mysteries and such.

And it's a true story. I'd think 3 tons of Gold would total more.

Walmart's Walton family Net well over 100 million dollars per day, domestic. Not counting International Net. The 2025 census projects the citizen population of America is 342,034,432.

Think about that. The Walton family could give every citizen 1 million dollars cash from a four day Net and never feel it.

Millions everywhere Just not near
my zip code.

The gold theft happened a long while ago. It might have been 30 million Pounds. I'm not sure... maybe Pound is worth more than Dollar.
