Some night watchman has some 'splaing to do
Belgium's diamond industry, and thus the diamond industry as a whole, is still reeling from this weekend's enormous heist at Antwerp's Diamond Centre. Antwerp has been the diamond capital of the world since the 16th century, and it's never seen anything like this, as 123 of the 160 maximum-security vaults were swiped clean. Almost ten years ago five vaults were hit, for a loss of about $4.5 million. Obviously (you do the math), this take is far larger. David Mamet, I'm sure, is on his way to Belgium for field research.
