On December 5 diamonds valued at 85 million euros were stolen from a Paris retail store. From the description of the heist in this article it almost sounds like the police are admiring the work of the thieves. They describe the heist as "meticulously planned" "the biggest jewelry heist yet in France" and the thieves as "major pros".
They then go on to describe the market they expect the thieves to sell the diamonds at as a "new El Dorado for traffickers", which conjures up visions of legendary markets of wealth.
The writer of the article definitely was on an admiration kick. The store that was robbed was given a good write-up as well, it "specialises in ultra-luxury jewelry" and sells to royalty (both rulers and pop stars). And then recent record breaking or unique robberies in Europe were numerated.
It seems as if a really good heist of ultra-expensive items from the very rich is something to be admired.
