Let’s not escalate the argument. Hopefully the authorities are taking steps.

Beware getting framed for something you didn’t do in that case.

To lose treasure once is careless…
I now stand corrected. The robber’s tool of choice is properly identified.

Who are they appealing to, all the thieves in France
There is a lesson here, unfortunately at cost to France, for museums everywhere to tighten up security around their treasures.
Every lesson costs and museums have a hard line to choose between making the nation’s treasures accessible to the greater public and protecting it from (greater) predators.
The photographer who took the photo, however, confirmed that the man was, in fact, real, and that he was merely a passerby unconnected to the investigation.
“I don’t know him,” Thibault Camus, the A.P. photographer who shot the image, said in an interview on Thursday. “I don’t know if he is French. Maybe a tourist? Maybe he is English.”
It was the man’s outfit that made Mr. Camus want to capture what seemed to him like a pointed moment — with someone dressed in an old-fashioned way walking out of a historic building. “Old-fashioned like a museum can be,” Mr. Camus added.
Sadly, it’s not only museums, but any building which houses something “someone” wants.
Our small village church had its fire extinguisher stolen!
Sadly they actually did have security in the old rococo cabinet with a vault underneath in time of attack. Some committee decided to change it. Lesson is pretty obvious

There’s no challenge any more for Raffles, Arsène Lupin or the Saint. It’s all too easy.
Actually they probably did. A ‘ workman ‘ wearing a hi- vis vest is ‘ invisible ‘ , like walking around a large office carrying a clipboard. When I worked in a large supermarket - we were encouraged to query their status with anyone we didn’t recognise who was wearing a hi- vis, after a few robberies from stores where people were assumed to be bona fide workmen because they had a hi- vis on and then stole items. People don’t look twice at ‘ workmen’
