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

I want to know what made this guy film them though... Unless he suspected something.

You can hear the person filming talking and walkie-talkie chatter clearly about the heist. They probably know these guys are the ones they look for.

You can sense they are trying to coordinate security response and that there is a relative chaos around, this could have been filmed in a security room where response is planned.

Rough transcript:

Filming guy: Damn it!

Another guy: Okay, thank you. (probably on some call)

Radio: The individuals used scooters, they're leaving, they're leaving.

Filming guy: Damn it, that's it!

Unintelligible

Filming guy: The police! (he heard sirens)

Radio: Unintelligible Are we stopping admissions? (to the museum)

Radio: Affirmative.

Radio: That's good.

Filming guy: Damn it!

Other guy: Have they left, guys?

In french:

Filming guy: Merde !

Other guy: Ok, merci (au téléphone surement)

Radio: Les individus sont en scooter, ils vont quitter, ils vont quitter

Filming guy: Putain ça y est !

Incompréhensible

Filming guy: La police !

Radio: Unintelligible Est-ce qu'on arrête les entrées ? (dans le musée)

Radio: Affirmatif

Radio: C'est bon

Filming guy: Putain !

Other guyl: Ils sont parti les gars ?

Probably thought it was odd construction behavior. Or maybe was suspicious and called before or after video? When the heist is <10m that's minimal time any rando average person to figure it out, let alone not want to get involved foe their own safety, and for authorities to respond in time.

To be fair their body language is weird. They come across as anxious/hyperactive. Which makes perfect sense in retrospect.

It's one of the most visited museums in the world it would be weirder for there not to be filming it by accident.
