1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: And Amanda Jamn, I think we need this music. Crazy Frog,

2
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: the Louver, theft. It's intriguing and as you said the

3
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: other day, Brendan, part of you wants to because we've

4
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: seen all these movies. Part of you wants to lean

5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: into the theever and go I kind of want them

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: to get away with it. Yeah, but you know, let's

7
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: let they've done an incredible job in plain sight, and

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: that's how they got away with it. We're learning more

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: about it. Half an hour after the museum opened, the

10
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: robbers used a truck mounted ladder and this isn't unusual

11
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: in France. Apparently people live in high rises so they

12
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: use you know, these bucket We call them a cherry

13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: picker on ladders to go up and down like a

14
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: Is it like a cherry, Yeah, a cherry picker on

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: a ladder. But also if you saw this outside a museum,

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: they went in the backside of the museum. The bit

17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: that's on the same on the river. But there's so

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: many famous monuments that are covered in scaffolding. Half the

19
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: time you just assume that works are being done. So

20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: they wore. In some descriptions they said they were wearing

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: black and others. They said they were wearing high vis

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: so they looked like workers. There's a picture of one here.

23
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: Look he's wearing he's wearing a mask but still wearing

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: high vis Onlookers just thought, yep, work's going on at

25
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: the louver. So it's being described as one of the

26
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: most daring robberies in modern history. The jewels are estimated

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: to be about one hundred and fifty six million Australian dollars.

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: So they wore their maintenance uniforms, their visibility vests. They

29
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: used that. They had a van that parked outside. The

30
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: museum was open. They went up to the second floor

31
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: with that basket. The lift the thing, so they tried

32
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: to look like delivery on a maintenance crew. They went

33
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: up to the second floor and they used an angle

34
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: grinder to a window to access the French Crown jewels.

35
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: The entire thing took about four minutes to get in

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: use an angle grinder. Security guards solve them, but their protocol,

37
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: their training is to make sure people are safe, so

38
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: they followed their training and escorted people from there. Well,

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: hang on, so they saw them break in with the

40
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: angle grind, Yeah, well they see, and they went there's

41
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: famous paintings around the wall, big long display cabinet in

42
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: the middle that had these famous famous jewels and these

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: Napoleonic jewels, and they use an angle grinder to break

44
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: in there. This would have security been aware of what

45
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: they were doing or did they think they were doing maintenance. No, no, no,

46
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: they knew what was going on, but their protocols would

47
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: get humans out of the room. Come, well, that's what's

48
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: happening of security. Yes, that's what the problem is. There

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: were security flaws and investigation went under ras is in trouble.

50
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: There was an adequate external surveillance, the weak access control

51
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: of exterior walls, possible understaffing. There's some rumors that it

52
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: could be an inside job because they knew that this

53
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: bit wasn't covered by CCTV, so it was hosted by

54
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: Grand Danya. This is a bit that wasn't wasn't seen,

55
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: and so there are some you think, how would anyone

56
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: know that stuff? What was stolen jewelry from the French

57
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: Imperial royal era and they don't have that much, but

58
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: during the revolution a lot of it was destroyed and

59
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 1: so France is very proud of these. As I said,

60
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: Napoleonic jewelry that Napoleon the First gave to his wife

61
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: and various other Napoleons have passed on to their queens

62
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: their wives. A crown was dropped nearby and was damaged,

63
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: but they sort of lost it on the way. How

64
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: casual is that? So they're wondering where they've gone. One

65
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: of a Dutch artist story and has said the jewels

66
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: are probably still in France because there was some speculation

67
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: have they been stolen and will be purchased by just

68
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: one of those sort of history pervs who wants to

69
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: keep it in their own home. So they'd all stay together.

70
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: Now they think probably what's going to happen, which is

71
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: the sadness of it, is that these beautiful pieces will

72
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: be broken down into individual bits and so they're unidentifiable

73
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: because the whole world is on high alert. They'd be

74
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: the jewels. The diamonds would be broken into smaller pieces

75
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: so and sold on the black market, which means they

76
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: won't get as much for them for them, but they

77
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: can sell them. They'd still make millions and millions of

78
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: dollars straight down to la cash converters. I would love

79
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: It's interesting. I'm torn. I'd love to own a Napoleonic diamond.

80
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: We'll get down to the LA cash converters take that service

81
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: skin that you've been trying to get rid of. Dreadful thievery.

82
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: But if one of them appeared on my finger, I'd

83
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: say say, nothing come out for Christmas. Okay. Well if

84
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: how bad are the French security though they just stand

85
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: and watch it happen, Well they had Their protocol was

86
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: to protect the people. I mean, that's the hard thing.

87
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: Do you choose a crown or a human? Choose the crown.

88
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: That's what it is. Well, this is Prince Harry's book

89
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: coming up. It would you like to go to c

90
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: just made a very good reference. Well, I did cash

91
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: converters twice, and you ignore that it twice yesterday. If

92
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: you've stolen from me, I've stolen from me. Let's let's

93
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: repack this
