    Feels like that would be super high risk for relatively low reward. I would have guessed if you wanted some relatively anonymous gems you’d do just as well with much less risk finding a couple of much lower profile jewelry stores or something.

        I suppose I may be overestimating Louvre security. I guess I would assume a criminal might have to be somewhat smart to overcome what I presumed to be higher security than you might find at a typical target for idiot criminals.

          Oh yes, there’s basically no security. At least nothing to deal with a quick grab like that. The only concern seems to have been terrorism. And even then,it was clearly not very well taken into account.

            Curious why you got a downvote, if there’s a good reason, I would have found a reply more informative…

              Presumably because I said "no security ", which is a bit of an exaggeration. Very inadequate security would have been better. Supposedly there’s a plan to upgrade the whole thing, but that should take a year or two still.
