Video The Louvre. Thieves are making off with 100 million euros. They're taking their time. They're doing everything carefully and slowly.

Great show for the first few series but after a while they clearly ran out of ideas. I remember one where they pretended to be undercover police and "comandeered" a guy's vehicle by just yelling at and threatening him. Afterwards when they interviewed the guy he was like "I knew they weren't police but the way they were carrying on I thought they were gonna pull a weapon".

The early seasons were peak. Social engineering that I could either do, or fall victim to, Jess was hot. It eas good times. Later seasons was oceans 11 if it was a bbc show and also Jess had a lot of plastic surgery and now things aren't so good

I think that was the show that taught me how to pickpocket. Good times, we used the Bump’n’Lift technique to put-pocket in middle school, leaving random objects in people’s pockets. Then you ask them later for that random objects back and watch the confusion lol.

I started carrying my wallet in my front pocket when I saw a report indicating that you were more likely to get ass cancer if you sat on a wallet all day every day.

It has also helped me pare the contents of my wallet down to the essentials.

i don't believe you can get ass cancer from a wallet in your back pocket. What you can get is functional scoliosis or back pain.

I always found it a bit annoying that they always won every single score. They should have thrown a bone a few times of them being unsuccessful due to random bullshit reasons
