kim's robbers are probably going to buy food for their children or fancy cars for their children after they sell the gems and I think this is a good example of responsible wealth redistribution.

Nah lol. The only people who say that are the same exact people who would act like a rich douchebag if they were themselves rich. Robbing Kim Kardashian is as morally irresponsible as the diamonds she was wearing. I bet when you see a beamer drive by and you grit your teeth too.

Now if the question is "Do you care" then no, I don't really care. OP this was my one seriouspost of the day.

No they will instead fund ISIS. But that's still better than the Kardashians so it's all good

It's Kim's fault for keeping her assests in the form of jewels. Try stealing a robust stock portfolio, or investments in Eastern Poland!

I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills that cause many people to call me a 'lyrical genius'. Skills that make me a godsend for people like you. If you let my four million dollar ring go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I won't look for you, I won't find you, and I will collect the insurance money.

That was my first thought as well, but I read an article and she was there for fashion week so I guess it maybe makes sense she had jewelry worth more than most people will earn in several generations on her

"threatened the mansion concierge with a weapon", the only thing between them and the jewels was a lobby receptionist lol. I also like that they stole her cellphone(s).

She got held up at gun point and tied up I highly doubt her reaction coming out of this will just be 'oh well lol.'

Plus the insurance premium will surely go up.

The only people capable of pulling off such a heist are undoubtedly wealthy themselves. The rich stealing from the rich is nothing new and it's not morally justifiable. It's impossible for a poor person to break into the jewelry heist business at this point.

Good for the robbers. They're basically providing a public service when they mug rich people. Too bad they don't always have the stones to rough em up a bit while they are at it.

The biggest jewel thieving group in the world right now (afaik) is a bunch of poor Slavs though. Well probably not poor anymore but you know.

quote:

At the last count they had committed 341 armed robberies and aggravated thefts around the world, with an estimated value of stolen goods of ¤330m. Their exploits have become the stuff of legend, with jobs ranging from London to Tokyo, Geneva to Singapore. The gang, a loosely affiliated network of an estimated 200 to 220 people, pull off jobs with precision and style, dressing as golfers for one job, Hawaiian tourists for another, workmen for one more. They can escape by speedboat, scooter or bicycle depending on the location, and take full advantage of soft borders and false documents. They know that as long as they get back home – to various Balkan countries – they will be safe, protected by either corrupt or hopeless officials.

Their robberies are like straight outta the movies.

valuable shiny rocks are cool. im sorry but what type of philistine do u have to be to not think metal and gems are rad as hell.

however, there is no romantic notion behind them. its a shiny rock. shiny rocks own, mind you, but ther e is no extra value beyond it being a shiny rock. in fact most of the value is inflated cause, get this, some people think shiny rocks from the ground are somehow different from other shiny rocks.

They're rad but they're not worth the price DeBeers pumps them up to and also that whole slave child mining stuff is kinda :smith: and I dunno how you could rightly wear that many diamonds while your husband talks about what an awesome influence he is on minority communities and be okay with yourself.
