Wasn't it just last year we heard about a Harry Winston boutique in Paris getting robbed? It's happened again and bigger this time. This time, as Bloomberg reports, armed robbers stole diamonds valued at 85 million euros ($108 million) from the Paris branch of jeweler Harry Winston. Four armed men entered the store shortly before closing time and took most of the jewels on display and forced the staff to give them diamonds from storage. No one was injured. This theft did have one quirky detail, at least two of the thieves wore wigs and women's clothing and addressed some of the store's staff by name. Investigators are chasing down all clues and trying to catch the thieves before the pieces slip into the black market and disappear.
