Speaker 1 (00:00):
That has gotten room, has gotten room. On the cutting
room floor, everyone's talking about the priceless jewels stolen at
the Louver.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
The Louver. You said it this morning that in a way,
there's some sort of fascination for the bad guy here,
isn't it. It does sound like a movie, very brazen.
Nine point thirty in the morning. The louver was open
when these priceless things were stolen. I think one of
Napoleon's wife's crowns, a heavily bejeweled piece, was found on

(00:44):
the side of the road as they made their getaway,
so they dropped that on the way past. But at
the time when we've recorded this, no more information about
who they were were or exactly how they did it.
It's quite extraordinary.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
You often wonder about you see those stories, you know, Oceans,
Levin and all the Jewels, heis itayan job? All those
great movies and there is You're always rooting for the
bad guy who's still still in the Jewels. So in
a way, when this actually happens in real life, you think,
can people pull this stuff off? But it's easier than
you think, and you remember see than you think. Well,

(01:19):
these guys, for example, were very professional. But Scott Taylor.
We've had Scott on the show before and this is
his assessment of the situation.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
A couple of quick thoughts because obviously we've just heard
about the robbery that's occurred at the Louver. The Formulut
daylight operation that occurred there illustrates a number of principles
and things that I share with my clients regularly. People
with bad intent look at your site a different way
than you do. Whilst we may look, especially if you're
a service type area or the different type of structures

(01:51):
that we have, we look a front front of house
and sometimes the vulnerabilities back of house, like loading docks
and whatever. I do walk around with my clients for
checking their sites, and then I say, okay, let's talk
about American Ninja Warrior and about for platforming and these
are the things. Now let's do another walk around, and
they always find out new things about their sites. Now,
the thing is, we've had some priceless Napoleonic jewels being

(02:14):
stolen during this time, and when there's people got on site,
they were within two hundred and fifty meters of the
Mona Lisa. Now they've taken some I think Emerald starded
crown which was Napoleon's Napoleon's wife and your Princess Eugenia,
Empress Eugenie, that's been stolen as well. And the thing
is how they got in high visvest basket lift, these

(02:34):
sort of things. They'll use things, especially when there's construction
occurring in and around the site. It's another vulnerability. So
how we do these things, how we manage these certain things,
how we manage intelligence around our sites is important. So
we've got the combination of hardware, software and webware. They're
the things that we need to have in place to
enhance the security and safety of our sites. Now what

(02:57):
I mean by that the combination of physical struct if
there's construction going on, anytime there's construction going on and
around it increases our vulnerability physical elements, but also from
the people fact that how we're checking, vetting, managing these
items as well, that's an additional strain for the site.
So these are all things that need to be taken
into account. When we say look at your site, you

(03:18):
need to look at it with a fresh set of eyes,
not what you do currently now where you look at
your own site. I don't care whether it's a stadium,
whether it's retail, hospitality, healthcare, critical infrastructure, whatever. We need
to be able to look at our sites with a
fresh set of eyes. Get outside, you have it. We
get what we call store blindness for some of these
things that we look at. So we need to be
able to have a look around outside during the day,

(03:41):
at night. I mean, this has been a brazen robbery
during the daytime as well. Look at all different times,
so we look at our sites differently and then think
regardless of your own physical ability for jumping and climbing
whatever else. Think understand as well, it's not just the
primary areas that we have. If people have perception that
they may be able to get to another air through
one of these back of house or low maintenance areas,

(04:04):
that's why we're going to make sure we've got good lighting.
Good maintenance is so important as well. These principles are
important for anybody to look at their site to protect
what's important to them.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Who's going to buy these incredibly specific and precious jewels.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, they've got to go into the dark web.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
The dark web. I just want to say this. If
I turn up tomorrow at war and I'm wearing I
don't know, say Napoleon's wife's brown, just saying, just saying,
don't say anything. I got it through completely legal means.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Of course.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
You would come in here and it would be worn
at a jaunty angle.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
And I'll say I've been down to cash converters. I
saw this in the guitar.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
I swapped a skip for this.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Take.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Kids, that's said by today, come back to Maa Bamara
