The crown of impératrice Eugénie (Napoléon III), on the first picture, was actually abandonned during their escape and it was found damaged.
I heard some former policeman specialized in heists saying that it seems the team was half experiences half newbies. The entrance was perfect but the escape was a mess. They left the crown but also all sorts of objects like jackets and blankets that the police will be able to analyze.
Also, these jewels are so famous that it will be hard to resell or display anywhere, so they would have to sell them stone by stone for a fraction of the price of the whole. So it's hard to understand the motive.
Sell em to some rich private collector who doesn't care. Surely Musk would like to masturbate wearing a crown.
Why not a commissioned crime? Seems safer than trying to find the rich dude after the fact
Who's gonna commission amateurs and have the liability of being tied to em before the crime.
Or trust the idiots.
Oh please. Like he doesn’t.
Crack. The motive is crack.
