Famous American art thief Myles Connor reacts to Louvre Museum heist: 'They will be vilified'

Posing as construction workers, thieves broke into Paris’s Louvre on Sunday, smashed display cases, and fled on motorcycles with at least nine jewels once owned by Napoleon I and Empress Marie-Louise, officials said. French authorities have opened an investigation; no suspects have been named. Notorious art thief Myles Connor told ABC News the heist is “damn close” to the most expensive museum theft in history and said a recovery reward could reach $5 million. Connor, who once stole a Rembrandt as a bargaining chip and later returned it for $50,000, called the missing pieces “irreplaceable” national treasures.
