Louis Vuitton Paris Robbery

[MON]

Vuitton Heist
Ella Alexander

OVER €300,000-worth (£257,957) of Louis Vuitton merchandise was stolen from Paris airport Roissy-Charles de Gaulle on Friday. A gang of masked thieves held five employees hostage while they filled two lorries with the luxury goods. No further details are available as the investigation is on-going.

The robbery follows the theft of Marc Jacobs' spring/summer 2012 collection earlier this month, when a number of the label's latest items were stolen in London.

Well this is a bummer, 2 incidents. Might have to check the stars.....

I read sometime last year that there was some kind of LV Speedy shortage. Idk. Just bizarre.

weird....that MJ is the head designer of both houses....

 

[ScarlettLover]

Yeah I'm not too sure if its just a coincidence, it all just seems too weird to me. It's still a pity and those poor employees! That must have been frightening.

 

[MulletProof]

Next thing you know Marc Jacob himself will be robbed.

Wonder if that 300k is coming out of the wallets of the employees or Carcelle's..

 

[TianSoFine]

^It's probably insured, right?

 

[Marjon]

^ Yes I think so haha

 

[moirla]

Those poor employees! That must have been intensely terrifying.

I think MJ orchestrates all these robberies.

^LOL kind of like when Kanye West had his birthday party at one of the LV stores in NY and for some stupid reason, the store owners left a ton of merchandise on display on the walls and what not and pretty much all of it got stolen by party guests

"Kanye had his 30th b-day party at the Louis Vuitton store in Saks 5th Ave in NY. But now word has it that about $30,000 worth of merchandise is missing. All kinds of celebs and other folks were up in the party so nobody has any idea who had the 5 finger discount. It's either coming out of LV spokesman Pharell's paycheck since he was there....or Kanye is about to have to put up the 30 g's. Damn folks can't never have a party with nice sh*t around..."

I think MJ orchestrates all these robberies.

I agree. It's quite coincidental that both MJ and LV have been in the headlines within such a short period of time of each other.
