As the saying goes-
If you don't steal, it's not Italy, if you don't rob, it's not France, if you steal and rob England, and if you shoot two shots, it's American imperialism!
No, the Louvre in France has been stolen again.

Although the previous Louvre town hall of Mona Lisa was lost, it was also stolen when it was closed; and the most recent time, it was the day of the light, under the lounge - the robberies.
Break the window and enter, cut open the cabinet, take it away, ride a motorcycle... Just do it.
The entire gang brought almost only an angle grinder for cutting glass.
The whole process was smooth and smooth.
You know, in the movie "Outlaws", the record for passing through the Louvre is 9 minutes and 43 seconds; in the movie "Dream of Paris", the record is 9 minutes and 28 seconds.
The reality is that it only takes 7 minutes to plunder 9 handed down treasures.
Even more bizarre, it all happened next to the Paris police headquarters.
It is said that art originates from life, higher than life, but now it is still conservative.
According to current news reports, this time the criminal gang has a total of only four people, including a driver, a windsmith, really entered the exhibition hall and robbed, two people.
To say why this gang's robbery is so smooth, perhaps it's not because of their skills, but because of the peaceful attitude of the French people and the full sense of relaxation in the whole environment.
Refer to the relevant details of the official disclosure of France. When the criminal gang opened the separate hall at 9:30 a.m., the elevator for the construction of the outer walls from the Seine River (which is shown below) easily reached the Apollo Gallery window on the first floor.
Then one of them was in charge of external surveillance, and the two broke the windows and quickly jumped into the Apollo gallery.
From 9:31 to 9:35, the two men used the freight elevator to go directly to the jewelry exhibition area, took out an angle grinder that professionally cut glass, and started cutting without saying a word.
Especially the thief holding the horn miller, who is still wearing a yellow armor, is not too high.
Yes, you’re not mistaken, when the robbers cut the glass, there were people around.
The video above is recorded by tourists.
The robbers calmly cut open the glass under the noses of tourists coming and going.
In fact, the alarm was triggered as early as 9:30 when the robbers broke the window (this position below) and entered the Apollo Gallery in the Louvre.
When they started cutting off the explosion-proof glass cabinet, the alarm was triggered again.
It is said that there are several museum staff around the exhibition room, plus tourists coming and going. Apart from the stunned and panicked group, the rest were indifferent to the two people holding the angle grinder in their hands.
At 9:37 a.m., the robbers successfully stole and escaped on a motorcycle.
9:40 The Louvre security team arrived and began to pursue the robbers.
Maybe someone here will ask.
Is this embarrassing thing, and also a huge loss, that the museum staff and the Louvre security team in charge of the Apollo gallery have to take the primary responsibility and be punished?
However, it is not.
The statement given by France at the beginning, except for the details of stolen cultural relics, was to emphasize that no public or staff were injured in the whole incident.
Subsequently, according to a statement by the French Ministry of Culture, in accordance with the principle of "priority protection" in the Louvre security agreement, the site staff alerted in a timely manner and effectively evacuated visitors.
In addition, the security team of the Louvre also achieved great success when expelling the bandits-the robbers dropped a piece of jewelry in a hurry (the following one, the crown of Queen Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III, was the top jewelry of the year, with 1,354 diamonds on it), which successfully reduced the number of stolen cultural relics to eight.
Regarding the sale of stolen goods, as many experts have said, this is really a big problem.
It is impossible for anyone to dare to publicly sell and buy the jewelry and cultural relics in this stall.
Of course, the probability of being directly melted or transformed is negligible.
After all, no one can always steal the necklace and knock the jewel on it and sell it alone.
This amount is more than 10,000 times...
Finally, I had to regret that the queen of Orléans (1826-1920), despite the high life, was still very unfortunate.
Her husband Napoleon III (Louis Napoleon) was the nephew of Napoleon I and the last emperor of the French Empire.
Orinée, wife of Napoleon III, was the last queen of France.
Empress Eugenie experienced the loss of her husband in middle age and her son in later years during the turbulent wars and coups. Who would have thought that more than a hundred years after the old lady's death, something she once used herself was robbed...
