For the Louvre museum theft that took place today (19 October), Alexander Gickello, president of one of the largest auction companies in France, said that criminals should be aware of the seriousness of their crimes and proactively return the jewelry, because the reputation of the jewelry is too big and almost completely impossible to destroy, even if they try to demolish the jewelry and sell it separately.

Gickello compared the theft to the 1911 Mona Lisa theft, saying the thief did not realize the seriousness of his behavior, and eventually the painting was hidden under his bed.

Gickello also said that it is difficult to estimate the exact value of the stolen jewelry because the details of the case have not been officially disclosed, but that only a "Queen of Orléans Crown" left by the thieves during the escape could be worth tens of millions of euros.
