Page 1: Two penguins are waddling towards each other on a stone path. One is an adult wearing a turquoise hat, and the other is a juvenile wearing a plaid hat. A black cat is walking a little ahead of the adult penguin. Turquoise hat: How's my favorite niece? Plaid hat: Your only niece is doing well. Turquoise hat: And how's cat burglar school going? Plaid hat: It's not. I told you. I'm not studying cat burglaring.

Page 2: The two penguins have stopped waddling, and the cat is seated in a loaf position. Turquoise hat: Fair enough. You do already have cats. Plaid hat: You could study it though. I mean, you're never too old. Turquoise hat (looking at cat): I also have a cat.

Page 3: The younger penguin and the cat are looking at each other. Plaid hat: Maybe we don't even need school. Maybe we could just practice by stealing each other's cats. Ha ha. Turquoise hat: You know, that's actually a good idea.

Page 4: The two penguins are looking at each other, and the cat is looking at the camera with a grumpy expression. Turquoise hat: Why don't you pop around my place at 3:59 am, and pilfer this guy before he wakes me up. Plaid hat: Too much like work.

Overlooked and Undervalued Sacré bleu! I'll never forget that morning. Alarms were ringing at the Louvre, with security guards running back and forth.

Sacré bleu! I'll never forget that morning. Alarms were ringing at the Louvre, with security guards running back and forth. It wasn't the first time this had happened. So I knew it was another heist. ✍️ #paris #louvreheist #shortstory www.tallandtrue.com.au/fiction/shor...

Overlooked and Undervalued Sacré bleu! I'll never forget that morning. Alarms were ringing at the Louvre, with security guards running back and forth.

The brief for December's #FuriousFiction was to take a major news event from 2025 and write a fictional story that either takes place during it or features it heavily in the plot. I wrote about the #Paris #LouvreHeist. 🚨 #writers #writing #writesky #shortstory www.tallandtrue.com.au/fiction/shor...

This came together beautifully - thank you so much for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this! #LouvreHeist #museumtheft #culturalheritage #colonialheritage #restitution @uofgsps.bsky.social @thesccjr.bsky.social @uofgsociology.bsky.social

How the Louvre thieves exploited human psychology to avoid suspicion—and what it reveals about AI On a sunny morning on October 19, 2025, four men allegedly walked into the world's most-visited museum and left, minutes later, with crown jewels worth €88 million (£76 million). The theft from Paris's Louvre Museum—one of the world's most surveilled cultural institutions—took just under eight minutes.
