Definitely naughty, not at all nice.
Some thieves did some early holiday shop(lift)ing in Paris on Thursday.
To the tune of $100 million.
Dressed as women, the jewel-hungry villains robbed the Harry Winston boutique on avenue Montaigne at gunpoint in "the Heist of the Century," snatching diamonds, watches, and other jewelry.
Pere Noel will be depositing a lump of unrefined coal in their stockings this year. If he can find them, of course.
Oh Lord, I can see the Hollywood movie already......
ReplyDeleteGeez, Paris is becoming more and more like the US. How sad.
ReplyDeleteAre you back in the States now, Polly?

ReplyDeleteThis story has been like watching a great movie~~I, too, devoted a post to it on my blog.
ReplyDeleteYou're all spot-on -- I think Audrey Hepburn already starred in the movie versions -- perhaps a combo of Charade and... hmm, what was the movie about the great diamond heist?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the thieves had literary aspirations as they plied their theatrics for the job...
