Thieves buy tickets before stealing necklace from Vienna museum

Two men stole a valuable necklace from Vienna's Museum of Applied Arts (MAK) after purchasing legitimate tickets to enter the museum. They smashed a display case containing a 200-carat platinum and diamond necklace, valued at millions of dollars, and fled without wearing masks. Surveillance footage captured their actions, and police confirmed the theft. The necklace was part of an exhibition dedicated to French jewelry house Van Cleef and Arpels, which had been on display since June. Despite the theft, the affected section of the museum reopened shortly afterward, though the damaged display case was covered with a blue panel. This incident follows a wave of recent high-profile museum thefts across Europe, including the Louvre heist in Paris and raids in Spain and Italy.
