This diamond heist was just sophisticated enough.
And then there's reality.
A gang of five went to Baselworld, a huge trade show for jewelry and watches in Zurich Switzerland. The show has over 1,900 exhibitors and more than 100,000 visitors.
Two of the gang engaged one man at a stand selling diamonds. Then the men left.
Ten minutes later, the man, a private Israeli diamond trader, screamed.
The two men were a distraction.
Three other men had broken into one of his displays and stolen four diamonds, worth $10 million.
The exhibit hall was shut down, but the men had escaped.
Their photos have been submitted to Interpol, the international police agency.
