Thieves have pulled off a daring heist at the Louvre, stealing priceless Napoleonic jewels. On Sunday, they used a basket lift to access the museum, smashed display cases, and fled with the treasures.
I suppose I may be overestimating Louvre security. I guess I would assume a criminal might have to be somewhat smart to overcome what I presumed to be higher security than you might find at a typical target for idiot criminals.
Oh yes, there’s basically no security. At least nothing to deal with a quick grab like that. The only concern seems to have been terrorism. And even then,it was clearly not very well taken into account.
Presumably because I said "no security ", which is a bit of an exaggeration. Very inadequate security would have been better. Supposedly there’s a plan to upgrade the whole thing, but that should take a year or two still.
You seem to think criminals have actually reflected upon this. They might actually be idiots.

Curious why you got a downvote, if there’s a good reason, I would have found a reply more informative…
