Famous Jewel Heists

I just returned from lovely North Carolina, and it is most definately time to blog again. Famous jewelry heists are the stuff of legends, not to mention movies. The largest heist of diamonds was the 2003 of $100 million theft in Antwerp, Belgium. The thieves turned out to be the gang known as the “School of Turin”. One of them was called the “King of Thieves”, another one was called the “Magician with the Keys”. The plot played out like a movie, with complex and detailed planning. It would go along good with some custom or Designer Furniture if you know what I mean.
As expert as these guys really were, they sometimes tend to make certain stupid errors. For example, one hapless would be thief’s DNA was actually taken from a sandwich that he had just dumped right out with sacks that he had carried the diamonds in. One particular character had been acting as a diamond merchant over at the Center when he left his DNA right at the vault. They has ultimately got into such a large number od deposit boxes and had so much unique jewelry and silver jewelry etc. to carry away so they just left many boxes unopened and even went as far as to leave diamonds scattered around the floor of the bank itself. Well, maybe if they had checked their credit rating or score they would have be able to get some cool stuff like designer and Shabby Chic Furniture, Lorts, Leathercraft and the of course jewelry without stealing. Maybe they should have looked into some type of credit counseling to see about their sore or rating. Who knows, maybe they had excesive credit card debt or something.
One of the most fascinating heists was the heist at the Museon, a science museum in the Hague, Netherlands. The mysterious bandits made off with a priceless haul of jewels as well as contemporary jewlelry, artisan jewelry,copper and silver jewelry in one of the most truly baffling and perfect crimes ever committed. The Museon was hosting fantastically valuable historic royal jewels as part of a display intended to educate viewers about gems and their mining and processing. All in all, it would go good with custom or designer furniture or perhaps leathercraft and the like.
