Here's the Plot for Your Next Jewelry Heist Thriller

World news | guardian.co.uk: "French investigators have found jewels valued at £15.4m hidden in a Paris sewer.

The items were stolen during a 2008 heist from luxury jeweller Harry Winston's boutique in the capital.

Nineteen rings and three sets of earrings, including one pair valued at £14m, were dug up from a drain at a house in the working-class suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis, according to police. The house belonged to one of the nine people charged over the robbery. The jewels were hidden in a plastic container set in a cement mould inside the sewer."
