On October 19, 2025, thieves executed an audacious and swift robbery at the Louvre Museum. They made off with eight historically priceless pieces of jewelry linked to French royalty.
When I heard about this robbery, I was amazed. Amazed that it had been done and amazed that someone, in this day and age, thought they could do it. Hours later, still pondering it, I knew I wanted to engage our audience to see what you all think.
I guess I’m a bit of a sucker for an old fashioned heist. Raised on Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in my teens and the Thomas Crown Affair in my 20s could explain the romanticism.
But more so, I have a level of awe for the planning that must go into a heist like this, and the guts to see it through. While I’m not condoning it, it is quite an impressive feat. And thankfully, no citizens were hurt.
Mostly, I am amazed that in this age of technology, a robbery like this was executed and successful, which is why I want to talk about it from the 3D technology perspective.
