Schiphol Airport diamond theft

The diamond theft at the Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands is considered by some as a perfect crime because most of the stones stolen were uncut, which not only makes them difficult to evaluate, but also almost impossible to track down. In addition to stealing a large haul filled with uncut diamonds, the burglars seem to have everything planned the operation thoroughly and paid great attention to the details: two weeks prior to the robbery, they assaulted a truck belonging to the airport and left with the uniforms of the employees. Since they could move around easily without raising suspicion at the airport, they knew exactly where to park and managed to leave with the haul of diamonds in broad daylight and surrounded by numerous witnesses.
