Jewel Heist

Four armed robbers, two of them men disguised as women, walked into a luxury jewelry store in Paris and swiped an estimated €80 million (U.S. $101 million) in jewels. The gunmans came in showed the clerks there guns and set out to take the jewelery from the cases and the secret hiding spots the gunmans even knew the first names of the clerks so they knew the place pretty well. It is believed that the group was highly professional. The funny thing is the same place was robbed nearly the same day last year for €10 million you'd think they would up the security at least =\.
