Stolen Art Watch, Kardashian Jewel Heist, Gang Eminate From Parisian suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis

1. On returning from a dinner party on October 2 night in Paris--which she was visiting for Paris Fashion Week--Kim Kardashian, 35, retreated to her room inside her portered building apartment.
2. These apartment buildings have especially been designed for multi-millionaires. The Kardashians stayed here regularly every time they came to Paris, as did Madonna, Leonardo Di Caprio, and the late Prince.
3. Kim's sisters, Kourtney Kardashian, 37, and Kendall Jenner, 20, went out for the night with Kim's bodyguard, Pascal Duvier.
4. Kim was in bed with just her robe on when she heard boots pounding up the stairs of her two-story apartment.
5. Kim's stylist and long-time friend Simone Harouche was believed to be in the bedroom downstairs.
6. Kim posted a video of her on Snapchat, showing off outfits and her shiny new ring, wishing friend Blac Chyna a happy baby shower.
7. Five masked men, dressed as police officers, threatened the building's concierge with a gun and forced him to take them to Kim's room and unlock the door. The concierge was reportedly bound and gagged, and locked in a stairwell.
8. Kim saw at least one masked man and another wearing a police hat through a sliding glass door. She knew something was amiss, so she rolled off the bed and tried dialling her bodyguard on her cell phone, reports TMZ.
9. Before she could finish dialling, one of the men snatched the phone out of her hands.
10. Two men held a gun to Kim's head, while the others tied her hands with plastic handcuffs and duct-taped her. One of the men grabbed her by the ankles, duct-taped them, picked her up and put her in the bathtub, reports Hollywood Life.
11. This is where Kim said she feared that she was going to be raped. She started screaming and begging them to not kill her because she has children at home. She told them to take whatever they wanted.
12. Though Kim did not understand a word of their French, she realised they were saying "ring, ring" repeatedly. Kim figured they were after the new ring Kanye had recently gifted her. She told them where it was in the apartment.
13. The men stole a jewellery box with USD 6.4 million worth of jewels inside, as well as a USD 4.3 million ring, which many suspect is the massive diamond Kanye West had gifted her a few months ago.
14. Kim's friend Simone heard the commotion and managed to lock herself in her room's bathroom to call Kim's bodyguard, Pascal, and sister Kourtney.
15. Kim's bodyguard, Pascal Duvier, arrived at the apartment just two minutes after the robbers escaped.
16. The entire incident took around 6 minutes.
17. Kim Kardashian reunited with husband Kanye West in New York City on Monday, October 3. The reality star was greeted by West at Teterboro Airport around 11 am, reports US Weekly.
18. According to Daily Mail, the raid on Kim's apartment had all the hallmarks of the Pink Panthers, a gang of super-criminals who have got away with tens of millions of pounds in jewels in high-profile heists since 1984. 
    

    A Supreme Court Justice Just Talked About Kim Kardashian’s Robbery in Court

    Justice Stephen Breyer on Tuesday proved that he’s just as glued to the pop-culture news cycle as the rest of us when he brought up Kim Kardashian’s horrific robbery in court, thereby introducing it into the official Supreme Court record.

    The justices were in the middle of hearing oral arguments in the case of a man who had been convicted of bank fraud whose public defender claimed that a federal statute under which the defendant was convicted requires an intent to cause financial loss to the bank itself. Breyer was skeptical over the argument, and he brought up the recent theft of $10 million worth of Kardashian’s jewelry in Paris to illustrate his point, according to SCOTUS blog.

    Breyer wondered if all of Kardashian’s jewelry is insured — “indeed over-insured” — and she therefore wouldn’t lose any money from the robbery, is it still technically considered theft? The justice believes the answer to that question is yes.

    This is just further proof that everything in life can be discussed in terms of the Kardashians.
