The Real “Pink Panthers.”

By Queuebot in Crime & Law on Jan 19, 2010 at 2:01 pm

Limousines into windows, helicopter getaways, and diamonds hidden in face cream sound more like an elaborate movie plot and less like real life crime. However, this is not Oceans 11, and the "Pink Panthers" are a very real group of highly organized diamond thieves know for some of the most elaborate and expensive heists across Europe and Asia.

Each member of the gang did his or her job perfectly. The attractive young woman seduced the son of the jewelry store owner in Rome to find out where the safe was in the owner’s house. She also discovered that the owner needed builders for repairs. Some of the others secured the renovation contract and cased the house. The get-away driver spent weeks learning every one-way road and stop sign in downtown Rome. And eventually the safe-cracker, the smallest in the group, hid himself inside a false-bottomed chest that the others left on the balcony of a bedroom where the safe was located.
