CroatiaTwo men stole a valuable diamond necklace worth several million dollars from the Museum of Applied Arts (MAK) in Vienna during a daylight robbery. The necklace, made by French luxury jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels, was part of an exhibition dedicated to French designers and had been previously sold at auction in 2015 for around $4.3 million. The thieves purchased museum tickets before breaking into the glass case with a hammer, grabbing the necklace, and fleeing without masks. Security cameras captured their actions clearly. The MAK confirmed the theft but declined to comment further while the police investigation continues. This incident follows a series of high-profile museum robberies across Europe, including the Louvre in Paris and a museum in Spain.
