They broke through a fence on Monday evening and stole gems which could be worth 50m euros (£43m; $67m), as they were being loaded from a Brinks security van onto a Swiss-bound plane. They escaped back through the same hole. Police later found a burned-out vehicle close to the airport.[/quote]
If they can fence that stuff then they're basically set for life
Damn, hope they get caught quickly.
At least no one got hurt.

Impressive, this must be near the top for largest heists in history
They played a little too much of Payday: The Heist, maybe?

[QUOTE=comet1337;39644284]how much diamonds exactly is that?[/QUOTE] How valuable per carat the diamond is really depends on its size, clarity and colour Here is a table I found: [url]http://www.ajediam.com/diamond_price_index.html[/url]

[QUOTE=SatansSin;39644169]They played a little too much of Payday: The Heist, maybe?[/QUOTE] there were no shots fired though in payday you expend more ammunition than most cops will throughout their entire career. (funnily enough I played last night for the first time in a couple months, then wake up to read this story :tinfoil:)
[QUOTE=comet1337;39644284]how much diamonds exactly is that?[/QUOTE] Twenty-three and one half.

I'm just kind of picturing two Swiss security guards being really obvious in the hanger about handing the big bag o' diamonds from one to the next over a manhole cover, when suddenly a bunch of robbers burst out, grab the bag, and then scamper back into the manhole :v: It sounds more like a Montey Python skit.

They are obviously going to re-create this. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/qsJQ7.jpg[/IMG]
If you're going to do a heist... make sure you steal enough to last you for life.
I presume if you stole that much you're gonna know where to sell it.
20$ it's some french gang from lyon
The Town? Anyone?
Why is this rated winner. This is terrible.
[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;39646804]Why is this rated winner. This is terrible.[/QUOTE] We're probably rating winner with their execution. Regardless of what was stolen, their execution was beautifully impressive and worth a winner or two.
[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;39646804]Why is this rated winner. This is terrible.[/QUOTE]As terrible as it is, it's still amazing to seen pull off. People were fascinated by Bonnie and Clyde despite them killing people. Not much different.
The next day it'll be up on eBay I bet
