“Pink Panther” jewel thief escapes Swiss jail

Reports are Inspector Jacques Clouseau has been assigned to lead the search.

Geeze, that’s an Iraq-style jailbreak right there, or the sort of breakout done by John Dillinger and Clyde Barrow back in the 1930’s. That the gang is from Bosnia is a clue, though. It’s likely some of them have military experience from the civil war that followed the breakup of Yugoslavia.

The truly prolific armed heist gangs since the American Civil War have been either ex-cons or ex-military.
