Thieves took less than eight minutes to steal jewels valued at $102 million last Sunday morning from Paris' famous Louvre museum.
The robbery at the Louvre has done what no marketing campaign ever could: it has catapulted France’s crown jewels — long admired at home, little known abroad — to global fame.
Officials say suspects used a truck-mounted basket lift and power tools to carry out the brazen Sunday morning theft at the world’s most-visited museum.
