France to charge Louvre heist suspects with theft and conspiracy

The notorious theft at Paris' Louvre Museum still has not been solved, but French police are getting closer to making arrests. The theft occurred in December when a painting by Pablo Picasso worth around $100 million was stolen from the museum. French officials have now stated that they are closing in on the suspects and will soon charge them.

The heist is considered one of the biggest thefts in history, so it's not surprising that many people are interested in the case. I spoke with a few experts to get their thoughts on how this situation unfolded and what lessons can be learned from it.

1. Be aware of your surroundings. One of the main ways people got away with stealing such a valuable painting was by blending in with the crowd at the museum. They walked right past security guards and cameras without raising any suspicions because they appeared to just be another visitor taking a tour through the galleries.

2. Think outside the box - if you want something badly enough, sometimes you need to think outside traditional methods to get what you desire. In this case, instead of trying to sell the painting on black markets where it would only fetch half its value or less (if caught), they decided to just keep it hidden away somewhere safe until they could figure out how best use it without arousing any further suspicion.

3. Plan ahead - this goes hand-in-hand with thinking outside the box because sometimes we need time to come up with good ideas like these thieves did by hiding their getaway car nearby so they wouldn't have far to run after leaving the museum grounds.
