Nothing else hits like a good old-fashioned European museum jewelry heist.
Now let's make another film. This one will be both a true crime and a heist film. Inevitable millions.
- Bankrolled by the thieves as well.
A shaky video of someones shaking phone video. Are we just giving up on trying to be professional?
- The producer tried to hold the phone to the photocopier but the results were poor. The producer was negotiating puchasing the footage, but this accidental footage snagged was much cheaper.
  
  You might not be far off because the embedded video just says "this video is private" negating the entire purpose of the article.
- Someone should invent a way to get a video file off of a phone without cracking it open and letting the Internet leak out.
  
  Or maybe like a jig do that the phone and the camera recording it are both kept steady and properly cropped
And someone was just standing there, recording it on their phone? Something not adding up.
- Ah, but they were wearing a bright yellow vest! Be honest - would you think twice if you saw someone wearing a safety yellow vest and carrying a drill? Apparently there was construction going on nearby as well, so the basket lift didn't really stand out.
  
  True, but that still begs the question, why were they filming that person if they didn't think something was going on? Not that I'd expect a bystander to throw themselves upon a thief, but interesting they still got away after being noticed and filmed during.
lol

- This video is private.
Cliffnotes – A few people involved, seemingly professional thieves, obtained ~2 partial sets of jewelry, no leads yet.
Dammit, Lupin.
