The Greatest Heists of All Time

Harry Winston, Paris

Harry Winston, Paris

Shortly before closing time on December 4, 2008, what appeared to be three women and a man requested entry to Harry Winston, the upscale jeweler on the Champs Elysee in Paris. In reality, all four were men, members of the elite "Pink Panther" gang out of Serbia. Armed with a hand grenade and a pistol, they made off with over 80 million Euros ($105 million). Seen here: the scene of the crime the next day.
