Suspects arrested over the theft of crown jewels from Paris' Louvre museum
“I think the main thing now is whether they can recover the jewels.”

@madcollector Absolutely wild update. 🤯 Not only are the jewels priceless, but the French Ministry of Culture has confirmed they are NOT privately insured.
France practices "self-insurance" for national treasures, meaning there will be zero payout for the estimated €88M market value. All hope is on a recovery before the stones are broken up.
Fun Fact: The thieves left the gallery's biggest showpiece, the 140-carat Regent Diamond (which was set in Napoleon's sword), completely untouched. It was in the same room and remains safe. #LouvreHeist #ArtLoss #CrownJewels

Louvre heist: the turbulent history of the stolen royal jewels.
Much of the immediate reaction to the audacious theft has concentrated on the Louvre’s security problems, rather than on the jewels themselves.
The theft of these items from one of the world’s most famous museums, however, is merely the latest instalment in the chequered history of the crown jewels of France.

by "modernize" do they mean... new steel bars immune from angle grinders? I mean, I realize cordless tools have been around for awhile and do speed things up, along with mobile lifts, but it seems "modernization" might be more like... have a guard at the window of the Crown Jewel room in case there appear to be sparks flying outside said window...

In 1769, James Cook stole a sacred object belonging to the Maori community of Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti in New Zealand. Now, this sacred object is being publicly displayed in Germany with much self-praise. A decision on its return is still a long way off.
A scandal! Yes, indeed!
Especially when we compare it to the hysterical reports about the theft of jewels from the Louvre in France.
Colonial loot must be returned immediately!

Imperator Coca-Colae Americanum aka the #childemperor #donaldtrump à l'orange! As #america does not have much history, a huge egg had to replace the coronation orb, a golf stick replaced the mace while Christmas lights replaced the #crownjewels, which also don't exist in #usa! Bowling balls were used as and ingenious system to install a patriotic potty for the child to use as a first throne in America's short history! A shimmering sash was donated by #Cocacola, of course 😂

The Crown Jewels were once used as a slush-fund for war when regents were in trouble.

In an age where much wealth was held in portable objects, the medieval and Tudor kings housed their jewels, plate and other valuables in jewel houses within their palaces. In Issue 04, Dr Nicola Tallis looks at those jewel houses in which Henry VII and Henry VIII stored their treasures.
