“It even happened at a hotel that was featured in Alfred Hitchcock’s jewel-encrusted thriller ‘To Catch a Thief.’ On Monday, a state prosecutor provided new details about the brazen heist a day earlier at the Carlton Intercontinental hotel – not least that the loot was actually worth more than twice the (EURO)40 million ($53 million) estimate that police had first announced. In 2008, thieves – some dressed as women – stole $118 million in rings, necklaces and luxury watches from the Harry Winston store in Paris. A robbery five years earlier at Belgium’s Antwerp Diamond Center netted an estimated $100 million.”
