On October 19, 2025, Paris’s Louvre Museum was hit by a daring seven-minute robbery at the Galerie d'Apollon. Thieves targeted nine historic jewels belonging to Napoleon and Empress Joséphine, entering via a basket lift and breaking display cases with chainsaws. They escaped on motorcycles, evading authorities. One stolen piece, believed to be Empress Eugénie’s crown, was recovered nearby, though damaged. The heist, executed shortly after opening hours, is being treated as highly organized. Police have launched a full-scale investigation into the audacious theft of these irreplaceable artifacts.
