00:00Following the heist at the world's most popular museum,

00:02a window has become the Louvre's newest attraction.

00:05Uh, it's a stop.

00:07I'm not sure it's quite the Mona Lisa, but it's a stop.

00:10It's a new one, too, so it's nice to see.

00:16Since the daylight heist, visitors have waited outside the museum

00:19to catch a glimpse of the now-famous window robbers used to break into the Apollo Gallery.

00:24The window has even gained a stop on guided tours.

00:26We just came from Germany to see it here,

00:29because we also got kind of inspired, so we plan our haze for the next year.

00:34While tours poke fun, French police aren't laughing.

00:37Thieves made off with French jewels valued at more than $100 million.

00:41New video released this week shows two of the thieves escaping not on foot,

00:45but on a cherry picker.

00:46The German company that builds the ladders is using the newfound fame to their advantage.

00:51And then, of course, after we knew no people were injured and our worker Agile was used,

00:57we were thinking about making, with a sense of humor, fun about it on Instagram or Facebook.

01:04And on Monday morning, my wife had the idea, and then we started posting it.

01:10And luckily for us, most of the people got the humor and know that we are not involved in the robbery.

01:17And we were very pleased with the reaction so far.

01:21The German manufacturer of the lift used by the thieves

01:24published an ad with an image of their lift in front of the Louvre.

01:27When you need it to go fast, the ad reads in German.

01:30For now, authorities are on the lookout for four suspects.

01:33DNA was reportedly covered at the scene that points to organized crime.

01:38However, authorities have not ruled out an inside job.
