Louvre Heist Shocker: My Photos Now Hold Stolen Treasures
The Louvre Museum robbery was simply astounding. When I saw the photos of the stolen jewelry in the news, I had a hunch. Rechecking the images from my visit in February, I discovered that two of the items were among those stolen.
I didn't take many pictures of the jewelry, so these pieces must have struck me as exceptionally beautiful. Knowing they are no longer at the Louvre, and perhaps no longer even exist in that form, makes these photos incredibly precious.
I was recently recommended the Netflix series 'Lupin' and became completely hooked. This incident felt just like a drama from the show, though I imagine it highlights various real-world security issues. I expect museum entry checks will become even stricter now, which is certainly understandable.
