Hours after the $100 million jewel theft at the Louvre, thieves struck again at France’s Maison des Lumières in Landres. Around 2,000 gold and silver coins, some over 200 years old, were stolen from the museum dedicated to philosopher Denis Diderot. Staff discovered the smashed display on Tuesday but realized the burglary occurred Sunday, the same day as the Louvre heist. Officials said the theft was done with “great expertise.” Police continue to investigate. The recent string of robberies highlights security gaps at French museums and raises concerns that stolen items may be melted and sold as precious metals. (PC: nypost)
