    Three men dressed as women and five others robbed the Harry Winston jewelry store in Paris in 2008, making off with over $90 million worth of jewels. They overpowered store security with a hand grenade and gun, and a security guard unwittingly held the door open for them as they fled with a suitcase full of jewelry. Although the men were later caught, some of the stolen jewels were never recovered from the brazen heist that netted over $100 million in watches and jewelry in under 20 minutes.

    Harry Winston jewelry heist in Paris, France

    This happened in December 2008 when 8 men walked into the Harry Winston
    shop in Paris and walked out with over $90 million in jewelry.
    Three of these men wore wigs and heels and dressed as women as not to look
    to suspicious.
    Once inside, they used a hand grenade and a gun to over power and rob the
    store.
    The security guard even held the door open as the men left with their suitcase
    full of jewels.
    The police never had a chance.
    The men were finally caught though, but some of the jewels were never found.
    In less than 20 minutes, they took 104 watches and 297 pieces of jewellery
    worth $101.7 million and fled in a car. Interpol have named the gang as the
    Pink Panthers.
