I'm a bit disappointed that the jewel heist at the Louvre just involved a truck and some mopeds.

@mattblaze if you squint, it is possible to say that they used a firefighter’s truck.

( HT @lowqualityfacts French being French, those are painted black instead of red, because a fire is no fun)

@mattblaze That or hackers.

@mattblaze

right? or 4 matched cooper minis modified to be able to use the metro tracks or pontoons and hover capability.

i'm sure they'll do better when they turn the story into a movie.

@oclsc Someone has to spoof the security cameras and reroute the traffic for the getaway.

@mattblaze Time writes that they used bigger than 50 cc motor scooters, essentially motorbikes.

-- Reportedly escaped on Yamaha 'TMax' scooters—which have a powerful 560cc engine.

@kaspian I apologize if I've hurt the feelings of the mopeds.

@mattblaze Heck, yeah. I mean, when the Star of India was stolen from the American Museum of Natural History in 1964, they at least had to swing down from a rope. (https://westportlibrary.libguides.com/MuseumofNaturalHistoryHeist)

@mattblaze if gets me that it happened at 9.30am. Was no one around to notice?!

[mattblaze@federate.social]

OK, now if the Louvre heist had involved exploiting a flaw in a burglar alarm that depends on AWS, I could get behind that. But they were a day early.

@benjohn @mattblaze what's there to notice?

weren't they wearing invisibility (er. hig-vis) vests?
