I have a hard time believing this. Do you know how loud it is crawling through an AC vent? How loud a parachute landing on a roof is? How likely the fake from the store weighs the same as the real? Maybe he did steal what he claims to have stolen, but I'm finding it difficult to believe he did it the way he did.
- bryanh 16y agoTo their credit, they never said the place with an AC vent was heavily monitored. And the parachute on the roof was at a Vianese Castle (a rather hefty palace of a castle at that). Also, the fake probably didn't weigh exactly the same, but I doubt that the spring mechanism was designed to measure relatively minor fluctuations in weight. More like the absence of weight. However, I tend to agree with you. The details (especially the "wow!" ones) are highly suspect.
- fooandbarify 16y agoAccording to police and the courts, he absolutely stole what the article says he did. The souvenir shop replica story has also been repeated by police and has never been disputed by the jewel's owners as far as I can tell. (I remember the police statements from the time of his initial arrest - I don't have time to hunt for them now but if you really want to you would probably have some luck at cbc.ca.)
- harshpotatoes 16y agoThanks, I'll try to hunt those down. The police statements would be far more convincing for me.
