One Billion Euros Worth of Jewels Stolen in Dresden

[San Lumen]

It would be awful for them to exist only in photographs because some selfish person saw them only as a way to get rich

As opposed to them coming into existence only to show how rich you are.

So what? They are part of German history

The history still exists, Lumen, independent of the state of the jewels. It’s not a good thing that they’ve been stolen but it’s not some horror story.

True but it’s not the same as having the physical object preserved for future generations

The vast majority of Germans would never actually see the jewels in person.

[Gormwood]

At least books can't talk. Much better than fanfic orators.

To be fair, that guy that narrated My Immortal proved the strength of the human will.

I'd enjoy a run of The King in Yellow better. Poor bastard.

who gives a fuck lmao more people are probably learning about them since they got stolen than anyone ever would if they'd just kept sitting in the museum

and besides over the next three to five years they'll probably get most of the robbers and at least some of the gems. this is really not that deep

They were stolen from the Royal Palace. A museum anyone can visit

Some say to this day you can find him muttering the “sex” scenes in the corner of some dark, damp jail cell.

And that most people won't.

I'm just impressed the madmen actually pulled it off tbh, idk why more people can't appreciate a good caper

Which changes what I said how? How many Germans would actually see them?

It strikes me that German society will continue fine without the jewels.

Yeah, unless these jewels were secretly the power source for all German engineering, I guess.

Well, now we can find out if the indomitable German efficiency becomes domitable.

Anyone who pays the small Admission fee

[Bloodshade]

Looks like a job for inspector Clouseau!

But honestly speaking, as sad as this is, chances are the jewels are going to be taken apart and end up disappearing sooner or later. Well, I guess this might be an opportunity to improve security.

And a irreplaceable piece of German history will be lost because of a few selfish people who only care about little pieces of paper called money

This tbh. It was apparently a well executed job. I can only tip my hat.

The commitment to craft shown by fully burning down the (correct) electric substation to shut off power at the museum... I am SPEECHLESS!

[Ethel mermania]

100 million is a pretty good payout for a couple months work.

They ought to ashamed they are willing to destroy part of their countries history for money however much it may be.

What if they hate germans?

What if they hate germans?

And what if they do? What these people did would the equivalent of someone stealing Washington Crossing the Delaware.

Fun Fact: The original of that particular painting was in Germany and got destroyed in an Allied bombing.

[Andsed]

I mean not exactly a good thing that happened but that was an impressive heist they pulled off.

Nah, we definitely are.

I dunno mate, one look at the average fanfic writer makes me wonder if literacy was a mistake.

I mean to be fair some fanfic are so bad they are actually entertaining.

I went and looked it up. I know I have seen it in ny. But apparently not the original original.

[Rojava Free State]

Yo who stole those jewels? I wanna buy some for my entire inner circle

Real talk though, that's tough

[Loben The 2nd]

or, the more plausible option.

Did German society even give a fuck about them in the first place?

People do plenty of awful things for money. Most of us don't regret them. Is this concept new to you?
