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.

one of the largest jewel heists in London was pulled off by a bunch of old retried thieves. True you can't really do more than mug people if you're starving poor but creativity and ingenuity will net far greater gains than trying to buy your way into a successful burglary career

And right now the insurance company she uses is hiring every private detective and mercenary in a 500 mile radius to find and return that jewelry.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
I'm curious to see how Kim's public persona is altered by this, if at all. To go through something so traumatic and humiliating and have the media constantly spotlighy it would break even the most media-hardened individual.

I also hope someone's turned her jewelry into anal beads.

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.

This is pretty funny.

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!

If you invested in eastern Poland, then you've already been robbed.

I agree, jewel thieves are good as long as they target the filthy rich and I always wondered why pro thiefs didn't hunt down celebrities with hundred thousand dollar+ watches and jewelry and cars and poo poo

A safe is only secure if the person who knows the combination is well removed from the burglars (assuming they have a small window of time), which wasn't the case here because she was in the room where your safe would have been.
