It's the kind of expensive theft you can tuck in your pocket. A cheeky thief in Paris went into the Blancpain boutique and ran out with a handful of tourbillons. The thief ran into a waiting car and disappeared. The four watches have a value of $361,800. Blancpain took out a full-page ad in Parisian newspaper Le Figaro asking for public help and offering a reward for the return of the watches.
