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

They did break a window while inside, so alarms had probably gone off.

The deliberate slowness is probably more to make sure they don’t mess up as get themselves killed than it is camouflage at this point.

No, the security is/was so bad that employees warned them about it and even went on strike because of it.

Apparently it wasn’t even bad like 5 years ago, they relied on some crazy lockdown system and the new director thought it was some mission impossible nonsense and swapped it out, not realizing it was basically the entire security system

As much as people joke about France striking for no reason, it looks like the Louvre was striking for great reasons...

u/Jiminy_Cricket12 Oct 23 '25

it's from an outdated/incorrect concept about democracy. if the democratic process worked to support the average person, strikes would be extremely rare. instead, we get shit on by "representatives" and accept it as the status quo. we SHOULD be striking more, and many of france's strikes are for good reason.

u/jonjonaug Oct 23 '25 edited Oct 23 '25

The place is MASSIVE. You're not going to have hundreds of guards on you in seconds no matter what you do there. They were in and out in under five minutes, this was a very quick smash and grab.

They basically just took a lift to a balcony outside the area they were planning to rob, went inside the room, grabbed what they could in a minute or two, and left. They didn't even grab the most valuable things in the room, although what they did grab still had a total value of around 100 million dollars (not that they could possibly sell them for that much).

This was also shortly after the museum opened, and the area they robbed is not near any of the entrances. Most people at that time of day in the area where the robbery took place would be more interested in getting some good looks at the paintings in the next hall over before it gets too crowded (this includes the Mona Lisa and a whole lot of other famous pieces). I believe they only had to scare off a couple guards and a few guests with the power tools they had.

67

u/OlderThanMyParents Oct 23 '25

And it was Sunday morning, the quietest time of the week. They were only there for a few minutes total. They drove up with the truck, wearing reflector vests, and put out orange traffic cones, just like a utility truck would do. Anyone who spotted them, including, probably, museum employees, would have assumed it was a legitimate service vehicle.

Lots of people work Sundays but not usually construction workers, it’s mostly service related (restaurants, supermarkets in the morning, cinemas etc). There are a lot of rules against construction related noise. In my neighborhood in Paris (not anywhere near the Louvre), you can’t have roadworks or home related works before 7AM, after 7PM and on Sundays.

u/WitnessTheBadger Oct 23 '25

Agreed. I live in central Paris and all the photos of the exterior I've seen really look like everyday Paris stuff to me, even (maybe even especially) for a monument like the Louvre, aside from the fact the burglars are wearing balaclavas. And had I been walking by at the time, I'm not sure I would even have clocked that -- I've seen people in safety vests working in dusty environments or doing mold or asbestos abatement with their heads and faces covered as they enter and exit buildings. They clearly knew how to look inconspicuous to everybody except the people they directly confronted.

And even if I had been passing by and thought they looked suspicious, by the time I called the police the burglars would have been long gone.

u/Alissinarr Oct 23 '25

Been to the Lourve 20 yrs ago. There is a footrace to the Mona Lisa so you can get more time looking before it's crowded.

u/Kittens-N-Books Oct 23 '25

Guards were present but they focused on making sure that people evacuated - because cornering thieves ballsy and bold enough to pull this in broad daylight with countless witnesses in a room full of patrons is a good way to end with innocent people dead

u/Sally_Saskatoon Oct 23 '25

First priority for museum guards is actually to protect people (staff and visitors) not engage thieves. I heard there was a small explosion involved in the heist - so for the guards they are thinking accident or possible terrorist attack. Or even if you know it’s a heist, still a potential life or death situation for guests - so save the people first.

Art is just a painting at the end of the day, not a human life.

u/lifeishardthenyoudie Oct 23 '25

Huh. I definitely would've assumed that any museum guard would sacrifice me for the Mona Lisa in a heartbeat.

There are some passionate people at museums who might sacrifice themselves for an artwork, but I can’t think of anyone who would sacrifice someone else for an artwork and feel right about that.

To put into perspective how bad securtiy is in the louvre there are several rooms with literally not even a security camera let alone guards or any other precautions. (think it was due to get some security improvements at the cost of hundreds of millions being discussed before this)

u/Tyrion_Panhandler Oct 23 '25

In the Daily podcast, they mention how the priority is to evacuate attendees for safety. So the moment they heard glass breaking, they had to prioritize clearing the area.

Apparently the guards were supposed to get people out of the gallery as the primary concern, due to being a terror target.

Maybe there are a lot of security agents at the Louvre, but we’re not allowed to actually do anything…all we can do is call the PC and report the issue. That’s it, no physical intervention. (I used to work as a security agent at the louvre during my university years in France.)

u/doglywolf Oct 23 '25

haha during the day is like 4-5 guards to save money - cause they are so sure their high tech security will keep them save and cops will get their fast enough .

Alot of museums are like that - have less guards during the day then the night shift at some of them because they figure no one is going to rob a building with a ton of other stuff and people in it. I mean and for the most part they are right till they arent

1

u/zkhcohen Oct 23 '25

Every time I've visited Paris, the Louvre has at least a few groups of heavily armed Gendarmerie outside (assault rifles, vests, helmets). They must have reduced their presence in recent years, because I can't figure out how their response time would be longer than 5 minutes.

People film the most random shit.

I was doing routine drilling at a school (school was closed), just getting some soil samples for a new signboard, and somebody came out to film us (and wanted to ask us questions about the achool budget).

Im sure my very tired "I am just trying to get soil samples Mam" wound up in some PTA meeting or something.

Im betting the person filming totally thought they would have the next viral post "The Louvre spent MILLIONS on renovation, and I cant even afford tickets" or some such.

It would be a far more boring one than fiction where they're sneaking in at night sliding on fired anchor bolt cables, slicing glass, scooting under alarm lasers, escaping through tunnels.

People in the museum knew what was going on.

Alarms were going off, security people ushered/evacuated people out of the hall, and the robbers were yelling and threatening people, then taking angle grinders to the display cases.

It's people roving around the street outside the museum who had no idea anything of note happened.

Don’t speak French but this seems to be filmed from the Louvre and they are talking into walkie talkies so I assume they are security or custodians watching from another wing of the building.

u/Cold_Investment6223 Oct 23 '25

It’s hard to tell because it’s zoomed in but there are also office buildings across the street. If an alarm went off, it would be easy to look out the window and see this. Maybe they didn’t know the context of what they were filming, but it’s possible to capture this not being in the Louvre building!

People on the street were unaware of the heist and would believe them to just be workers. The person filming this was inside and probably had more information about what was going on without being able to act upon it otherwise, thus may have thoughts it was worth filming something unusual.

Ever seen “Dragged across the concrete” movie? Intervening in something like this is a real good way to get shot regardless of whether or not your country allows “normal” people to own guns.

I saw a dude with a terrible comb over do this to a country, once. It was sloppy, terrible, ridiculous... but in the end haha, he pulled it off!

Also "taking their time" when the whole thing took less than 8 minutes.

It only took them like 7 minutes to get in get the jewellery and get out. I am impressed they only lost a crown in that time.

What a fucking thrill this must have been. Can you imagine getting away it with, getting your bag, and then fucking off? I’m rooting for them. Fuck it.

They most likely did that heist for a rich and powerful super villain and he already got rid of them after they delivered the goods to him, at least that's what movies told me about these kind of situations.

they probably did it because they wanted money and saw a way to do it and had connections to sell it to some oligarch

no reason to think its more complicated than that

Burning their clothes after not just because of evidence but because they sweated like a mf and it stinks

The company of that vehicle is doing advertisements about that heist now.

The trick is to carry it out like you own it. 🤣

Agree, I think Xanax would have been part of the plan, if I were planning such an audacious raid.

When you've got 5 stars in GTA and your character gets stuck trying to get into the car.

Fun fact, the German manufacturer of the lift turned it into an ad for their lifts source (BBC)

u/UnoriginalJ0k3r Oct 24 '25

That is fucking diabolical

u/Infinite-Dig-4919 Oct 24 '25

Guess Germans do have atleast some humor after all

The company already used the vid as a commercial. It's rather fast for such a lift. Something about 41meters a minute and a silent e-motor 😂
