Myles Connor<\/a>.<\/p>\nConnor walked into the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in the 1980s and walked out with a Rembrandt painting.<\/p>\n
He also says he pulled off a number of different art heists in the 70s.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, four suspects posing as construction workers stole jewelry of “inestimable value” from France’s famous Louvre Museum, including jewels that once belonged to Napoleon and his wife.<\/p>\n
The entire robbery took about 7 minutes.<\/p>\n
Connor says there are a few possible outcomes to this brazen break-in.<\/p>\n
According to Connor, the thieves could have been commissioned by a billionaire who wants to keep the jewels to themselves, and they would never be seen again.<\/p>\n
But he hopes they plan to hold onto them and then use them to get a cash reward.<\/p>\n
5 Investigates reporter Karen Anderson asked what he’d say to the thieves right now.<\/p>\n
“Well, I’d say don’t let anything happen to them and don’t sell ’em to somebody that you think would not eventually return them,” Connor said. “They are a valuable piece of French history. If they’re never returned, you’ll definitely go down in the annals of French history as thoroughly bad people, vilified as much as possible, and I would eventually make sure they were returned.”<\/p>\n
Connor says he does not think the jewelry will be broken up because they wouldn’t be as valuable that way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A famous American art thief sat down with NewsCenter 5 to discuss the latest Louvre Museum art heist,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":243167,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[228,226,227,8731,133503,29859,133505,229,133507,88,133501,133506,133504,594,133502,133508,20602,24749,133497,130880,133509,133498,133499,133500,593,8915,28123],"class_list":["post-243166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-boston","tag-brazen-louvre-heist","tag-connor","tag-construction-worker","tag-design","tag-different-art-heist","tag-entertainment","tag-famous-art-thief","tag-famous-louvre-museum","tag-fine-arts","tag-france","tag-french-history","tag-inestimable-value","tag-jewel","tag-jewelry","tag-karen-anderson","tag-louvre-museum","tag-meet-myles-connor","tag-museum-of-fine-arts","tag-myles-connor","tag-napoleon","tag-paris","tag-sunday","tag-wcvb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243166\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
