Thieves target the wealthy in the City of Love
It's not unheard of for specialized thieves to target wealthy guests in Paris luxury hotels.
While these hotels provide safes for their guests, its not enough to stop thieves from trying and succeeding.
In October 2016, Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in her room at the Hotel de Pourtales in Paris. The thieves got their hands on $10 million worth of jewellery, including Kardashians $4 million Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring.
In September 2018, a member of the Saudi royal family was robbed at the Ritz. The victim claimed more than $900,000 in jewellery was taken from her.
