After the brazen daylight robbery of the French Crown Jewels from the Louvre Museum last Sunday, a single image captured by Associated Press photographer Thibault Camus has become an internet obsession.
The photo showing French police sealing off the museum's courtyard features an elegantly dressed man in a fedora, trench coat, and vest, striding past officers and a police vehicle. Within hours, social media had dubbed him the 'Louvre Heist Detective,' comparing him to a film noir sleuth straight out of The Pink Panther or Sherlock Holmes.
