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.
Thieves climbed onto a balcony and broke in through a window
The entire raid only lasted seven minutes - we originally assumed that they scaled the ladder mast, rather than used the load platform, but in fact they did ride the host as a new video shows.
They all got away, although they did drop a diamond and emerald crown of the Empress Eugénie as they fled on motorbikes.
Chief
What, no risk assessment, no fall protection and using equipment inappropriately
certainly one for the Death Wish spot! Luckily it's believed the operators escaped without any injury (and also with France's Crown Jewels)
Joking aside I hope they catch the criminals.
