Deeply unserious heist

Excerpt from BBC news:

The gang reportedly arrived at 09:30 local time, shortly after the museum opened to visitors.

Four suspects arrived with a vehicle-mounted mechanical lift to gain access to the Galerie d'Apollon (Gallery of Apollo) via a balcony close to the River Seine.

Pictures from the scene showed the ladder leading up to a first-floor window.

Two of the thieves got inside by cutting through the window with power tools.

They then threatened the guards, who evacuated the premises, and cut through the glass of two display cases containing jewels.

A preliminary report has revealed that one in three rooms in the area of the museum raided had no CCTV cameras, according to French media.

French police say the thieves were inside for four minutes and made their escape on two scooters waiting outside at 09:38.

The gang had tried to set fire to their vehicle outside but were prevented by the intervention of a museum staff-member, the culture ministry added.

Culture Minister Rachida Dati told French news outlet TF1 that footage of the theft showed the masked robbers entering "calmly" and smashing display cases containing the jewels. No one was injured in the incident.

She described the thieves as seemingly being "experienced" with a well-prepared plan to flee on two scooters.

Israel bombed Gaza 100 times last night & has, once again, blocked essential aid. They want total death.

Trump's "plan" was always going to lead to this & it's an irrevocable stain on our "leaders" that they rushed to praise it. Only a full embargo on the zionist state will end the genocide.

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...
