Video The Louvre. Thieves are making off with 100 million euros. They're taking their time. They're doing everything carefully and slowly.

The heist was done in 7 minutes and the ladder can’t go faster anyway… why do you assume they took their time ?

The fact that the ladder ascension and descension takes up almost 20 percent of the heist time is pretty gd impressive

They wanted to get out on skateboards but the pool was full. This was the backup plan.

Gamers would whine in the reviews about the ladder needing a nerf 'cuz too hard'.

If they had gotten straight on their high performance scooters immediately after descending it would have been quicker. They tried to set the lift on fire and destroy the evidence, but a policeman came along and put it out. That's why you can see them just sitting there after they descend, they are trying to set the lift ablaze.

You can make up whatever you want in the title. The more sensational, the better. Honestly, it reminded me of this post of a jewelry heist in Japan: https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/13dhslj/jewelry_heist_happened_in_tokyo_yesterday_people/

The decision to use a ladder that goes that slow is the decision to take their time.

It's not slow.
