A gang of professional thieves broke into the Louvre Museum this morning at about 9:30 local time and made off with several pieces (believed to be 8 or 9) of rare jewelry, including a tiara belonging to Emperor Napoleon III's wfe (which was later found outside after being damaged during the robbery). They used a lift to get to an upper window and a grinder to cut the window pane. The entire robbery took about 10 minutes. The French police have assigned their top detective to the case:

Unbelievable. Can't wait for the movie. Fencing the stuff, what could go wrong.

Two men have been arrested in connection with the robbery, one at the airport trying to leave the country. Two other suspects are still at large.

According to a French news agency, the password to access the museum's video surveillance system was "LOUVRE."

I've always been skeptical of movies and TV shows where someone needing to access a computer or smartphone looks around for about five seconds and figures it out, like the name of the person's pet or his birthday. I said nobody in real life would be that stupid. I guess I was wrong.

Saving for posterity.
