Creepy thieves pull off a massive wine heist using Paris catacombs
Pro-tip: If you are an exceedingly wealthy Parisian who boasts an impressive wine collection, do not erect a wine cellar that shares a wall with the city's giant underground graveyard.
According to the Associated Press, a group of very rude Parisian robbers broke into a local wine cellar by busting a hole through a wall in the Catacombs, a system of underground tunnels containing the remains of millions of French people.
The thieves reportedly made off with what Paris police say were between 250 and 300 bottles of wine, worth an estimated €250,000, or $300,000.
And, per The Guardian, police tell local media that they're confident the perpetrators "must have made visits before," based on their successful ability to identify the exact spot they'd need to drill in order to reach the cellar.
