Two interesting, and timely, stories from the world of crime.

Value of items stolen by a gang of thieves in the greatest jewel heist in French history? $108 million.

Amount allegedly stolen from clients by New York attorney Marc Dreier? $380 million.

There is no word on whether the French thieves were able to lift the Pink Panther.  In any case, the French were clearly in the wrong line of work.

Via Overlawyered in part.
