This title reveals how a group of thieves broke into an allegedly airtight vault and made off with over $108 million dollars worth of diamonds. This real-life "Ocean's Eleven" provides a thrilling in-depth study. On February 15, 2003, a group of thieves broke into an allegedly airtight vault in the international diamond capital of Antwerp, Belgium and made off with over $108 million dollars worth of diamonds. They did so without tripping an alarm or injuring a single guard in the process. Tracking the threads of the story throughout Europe - from Belgium to Italy - the authors sorted through an array of conflicting details, divergent opinions and incongruous theories to put together the puzzle of what actually happened that Valentine's Day weekend.
