Regarding the theft of the Louvre Museum on October 19, Alexandre Gikelot, president of the Paris Druot Auction House, one of France's largest auction companies, said that it would be best for criminals to realize the seriousness of their crimes and voluntarily return these jewelry because The jewelry’s reputation was so great that it was almost impossible to destroy even if they tried to dismantle 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.
Gicello also said that since the official has not yet announced the specific details of the case, it is difficult to accurately value the stolen jewelry at present, but only a "Queen Eugenie Crown" left by the thief when he escaped may be worth tens of millions of euros. He stressed that these stolen goods represent the cultural heritage of France, and their value cannot be measured simply by money.
