The largest heist of the decade happened in the largest museum on earth which also hosts the famous painting of the world called the Mona Lisa. This museum is known by many people. This museum is called the Louvre’.
The heist that had happened on October 19th 2025. It is believed that the thieves had only taken 7 minutes to steal French crown jewels worth $102 million dollars. The thieves used a crane to break into the Apollo gallery, stole 9 pieces of jewelry, and left on scooters. Historians are already calling this the “heist of the decade” because of the vast amount of money worth of jewels and history.
Although the jewels were stolen, we haven’t accounted for the historical value in the jewels. Take Marie Louise’s necklace. Marie Louise was an Australian archduchess who became the second wife of Napoleon 1, emperor of France. Marie Louise was the eldest daughter of Holy Roman emperor Francis ll (later Francis 1 of Australia) and his second wife, Maria Theresa of Naples and Sicily.
This heist not only impacted the Louvre museum, but also can impact other museums. Local thieves could think that if thieves can break into the Louvre, they can break into local museums. This could cause serious damage to historical artifacts and our community. Here’s a question for you to think about: Do you think the thieves will be caught? If so, will the artifacts be returned to their rightful places?
Really interesting story!
I am in love with the advanced style that Author Vitta uses. This is very impressive and this is coming from someone who wrote more than 5 stories. I am astonished at the level of detail you have in this article.
