IN A CAPER THAT SOUNDS STRAIGHT OUT OF A MOVIE, OFFICIALS SAY THE THIEVES USED A BASKET LIFT, FORCED OPEN A WINDOW, SMASHED DISPLAY CASES OF PRICELESS NAPOLEONIC JEWELS, TOOK EIGHT OF THEM, AND MADE GOOD THEIR ESCAPE -- ALL IN LESS THAN TEN MINUTES.
MUSEUM OFFICIALS SAY THE THIEVES ENTERED THROUGH AN AREA WHERE CONSTRUCTION IS UNDERWAY.
VISITORS WERE STEERED OUT OF THE MUSEUM BUT WEREN'T TOLD WHY.
>> WE WERE JUST READY TO GO IN TO SEE THE MONA LISA WHEN THEY SWEPT US OUT OF THE GALLERY, SWEPT US DOWN THE STAIRS BY THE WINGED VICTORY.
THEN WE WERE HEADED OUT THE EXIT -- WE DIDN'T REALISE THE WHOLE MUSEUM WAS BEING EVACUATED.
AND THEN WE ASKED THE GUARD AND THE GUARD SAID, "WE'RE HAVING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES."
