Luxury Robbery: Harry Winston most likely now available on Black Market

"An unidentified woman in front of the Harry Winston jewelry store in Paris on Friday."

With over 1,000 news stories from my Googled search results alone, I am sure you are not surprised that we at LushBling feel the need to cover this story as well.

It’s a wonder the Harry Winston website doesn’t have a huge ‘In Mourning’ banner across it. The total loss of items has been estimated at $102 million. That’s enough to buy at least 5 Rancho Mirages.

“The police said that at least four people were involved in the robbery of Harry Winston, which is on a street of deluxe shops near the Champs Élysées that is crowded with boutiques for Chanel, Dior and Gucci. Around closing time at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, the thieves entered and confronted 15 employees. At least two of the robbers were dressed in wigs and women’s clothes, while a fourth accomplice apparently waited outside as the getaway driver.”

The crazy thing is – I’ll bet, anyway – some Hollywood studio is probably already bidding for the rights to this script. (Ooh, did I just imply a lush investment? *…sshhhh*)
