Stolen Louvre loot unlikely to be recovered: Experts​

“If I steal a Van Gogh, it’s a Van Gogh. I can’t dispose of it through any other channel than an illicit art market,” said Marc Balcells, a Barcelona-based expert in crimes against cultural heritage.

“But when I am stealing … jewellery, I can move it through an illicit market as precious stones.”

The head of security at the Louvre Museum was a diversity hire who was chosen because of her characteristics rather than “competence”, French sovereigntist politician Marion Maréchal said as she demanded heads roll after last week’s jewel heist.

The plot thickens.

They were dressed as construction workers, right down to the day-glo vests.

Not that I have any want to go to Europe. But we are seeing the ending of white history there. Hopefully some China billionaire will have the famous paintings stolen before they just get thrown in the woodchipper.

How could they possibly pull this off with all the security?

they came in daylight

Charlie Hebdo found a “Ukrainian trace” in the Louvre robbery.

Of course it could be a coincidence.

That’s literally what a coincidence is.

I’m becoming convinced a huge swath of the population doesn’t understand what a coincidence is…..

They dragged in equipment capable of cutting through display cases and nobody noticed? They got away on scooters? Only in France.

and a day later there was a similar break.in in Langres

And the fact that, for example, on the same day in 1944, a bunch of soldiers died in such different and distant places as Normandy, Italy, Russia, and China—is that also just a coincidence? A strange, inexplicable coincidence?

Most likely just a couple of unarmed security who will back off to someone who looks stronger than them.

Leftists aren't blaming orange man?

Give them time.
It's gonna be hard on them, blame Trump or blame Putin.
Perhaps they'll settle on the two working in tandem.

I mean, they should risk their lives to protect jewelry while making $20/hr at most?

They aren't as just as here will look the other way as someone shoplifting.

Loss prevention officers definitely don’t just look the other way in grocery/department stores

Armed, professional jewelry thieves are completely different from some random shoplifter, though
