Sometimes they drive cars into buildings, and then, you know, they'll smash, grab, and then they'll have getaway cars, and they're off.

Yeah, and then they've been known to move from one getaway car to the next getaway car to the third getaway car.

And by the time the police even get to the scene, there are four getaway cars into it, and they're never going to be caught, because they're just that good.

Yes.

Okay, you want to hear about a few of their heists?

I do.

2001, this is kind of when the birth of this legend starts.

They stole a diamond worth over $500,000 from a Mayfair jeweler.

Police found it hidden in a pot of face cream.

Interpol then coins them, the Pink Panthers.

Mm-hmm.

So then in a pair of nearly identical daylight robberies in Paris, they stole over $10 million worth of diamonds in under two minutes.

In under two minutes.

They used wigs, they had makeup, they had no firing of any gun.

They walked in, they smashed, they grabbed, they got out, and they were calm.

And that's what I've watched some video on, like people who are...

investigating these guys, like 60 Minutes, and 60 Minutes Australia, and some other investigative journalists in the BBC, every one of the people at Interpol, or the different agencies that are investigating them, all comment, there's almost like a certain amount of respect for these guys, because they're calm and professional.

They're not screaming and yelling like, you know, you see in the United States, these guys, they go in and smash, and they grab, and they cause chaos, and they usually get caught, because they're being dumb about it.

Not these dudes.

These dudes take this, this is like a job.
