Diamonds are forever, They are all I need to please me, They can stimulate and tease me, They won't leave in the night, I've no fear that they might desert me. Diamonds are forever, Sparkling round my little finger. Unlike men, the diamonds linger; Men are mere mortals who Are not worth going to your grave for. _ [size=80pt]BAZINGA!!![/size] |

Very interesting. And here's why. On the 25th of February 2005, four men drove into Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam, and executed what is easily the biggest heist in history. Dressed as KLM officials, they simply commandeered the truck carrying the diamonds, politely asking the driver out of the vehicle. The driver was a courteous man by nature, but it is possible that the guns they waved in his face urged him along. Taking control of the truck, the robbers zoomed off quietly like any bunch of respectable airport staff. That truck contained $118 million worth of diamonds, which were mostly uncut, and so almost impossible to trace. As you might expect, the Dutch police arrested several persons 'in connection to the robbery'. But it is safe to say the diamonds, and perhaps the original four musketeers, remain at large. So, coming just a week shy of the Schiphol anniversary...and with a suspiciously similar M.O, this Brussels haul is very interesting indeed. |

What if there wasn't any diamond in the first place? What if it was just set up to scam the insurance company. Has anybody given this a thought?  |

...these criminals may never be caught,especially if they are Eastern Europeans,they are maverick criminals,very proffessional and disciplined!unlike others who may go on to celebrate their loots either by buying wonders on wheel,doing drugs,wine and womanizing!They average proffessional Eastern European criminal may keep his loot for as long as possible,even upto 20yrs or even bequeath it to his child..while the inter-pol&other secret police will be busy searching the black markets for possible clue of the stolen diamonds,it cld lie some where in Ukraine for the next 10yrs! 1 Like |

scobaba: That job is cheap compared to the biggest of them all. Antwerp Diamond Center 16th February 2003- Belgium: $100 million+ 80% of the world’s uncut diamonds go through Antwerp, and don’t thieves know it! The city has seen its fair share of heists, but this one was incredible in both dollar value and the method with which it was executed. This haul was so large that the thieves literally couldn’t carry all their booty out of the vault, but still managed to empty an impressive 123 of 189 deposit boxes. Leonardo Notarbartolo, a 30 year career thief, was the leader of this stylish gang. The robbery was years in the making, with at least 4 people involved. They had rented office space in the building 3 years earlier, where Leonardo posed as an Italian diamond merchant to gain trust and credibility. He set up meetings and did small deals, no one ever suspecting a thing. When it was finally time to move, they inserted fake tapes into the security cameras to cover their movements. The vault was protected by 10 layers of security, including infrared heat detectors, Doppler radar, a magnetic field, a seismic sensor, and a lock with 100 million possible combinations. The robbery was called the heist of the century, and even now the police can’t explain exactly how it was done. Notarbartolo was caught after one of his accomplices failed to burn a garbage bag of evidence. The $100 million worth of gems has never been found and Notarbartolo is currently serving a 10 year sentence. Interestingly, Notarbartolo has claimed that a Jewish diamond merchant hired them for the heist and that they actually only stole roughly $20 million worth, with many of the deposit boxes already lying empty. He believes that he and his gang were used as part of a huge insurance fraud. Police have denied this possibility. To read his version of events, outlining how they did it |

HARDDON: They got crz head aches : Ever heard of of the word "uncut"? Which means they ain't refined yet and so would make it easy for any one to sell. All they 'd do is go into one of this corrupt African countries, probably DRC or Sierra Leone, aqcuire the "Kimberly certificate" and they are good to go. It is as easy as that to sell an "uncut" diamond. |
