In a brazen heist right out of the movies, thieves drove onto Belgium's airport tarmac and stole more than $50 million of diamonds from a plane without firing a single shot.

When I was reading about this it sounded like a heist from a movie, very rarely to crooks get away that fast, with that much money, without hurting anyone or anything. All they found was a burnt out get away car a few miles away from the airport... obviously very well thought out...and yes, I too agree there must have be an insider to know all the details.
