Austria museum heist: Thieves snatch diamond necklace

Two men entered Vienna's Museum of Applied Arts (MAK) during a weekday visit, broke a glass display case containing a valuable diamond and platinum necklace, and fled with the stolen item. The heist occurred on Thursday and marks another incident in a series of high-profile museum thefts across Europe in recent months. The thieves, who were identified on camera and appeared unmasked, reportedly carried a real firearm, prompting a large-scale search. The stolen necklace, valued at millions of dollars, belonged to Egypt's former Queen Nazli and was created in 1939 for her daughter's marriage to Iran's future Shah. The MAK confirmed the theft but continued promoting its ongoing exhibition. Similar incidents include the 2023 Louvre heist in Paris and other museum burglaries in Italy and Spain.
