Thieving lift

Thieves broke into the Louvre Museum in Paris yesterday, in plain sight and got away with some of France's priceless crown jewels.

How? They used a Böcker Aglio truck mounted furniture lift, which we understand was being used during the week by contractors working on the building.

The entire raid only lasted seven minutes -our guess is that they scaled the ladder mast, rather that trundled up in the load platform. They all got away, although they did drop a diamond and emerald crown of the Empress Eugénie as they fled on motorbikes.
