Hmmm, who might be in need of massive sums of cash due to ostentatious spending habits, poor investments or the looming possibility of astronomical liabilities pending?

Cross-reference that with anyone with a track record for breaking the law, stealing stuff or being generally dishonest.

Think I’ve nailed it down to a shortlist of 3…

Sarah Ferguson?-

I suspect this isn't the type of item that's easily fenced so unless the robbers are as thick as coked up scousers this would have been stolen to order.

What about popping the diamonds out and cutting them. Still fetch a tidy sum.

The jewels stolen from the Louvre are worth an estimated €88m (£76m), a Paris prosecutor has said.

I am sure there is a jewellery in Antwerp that could fabricate a number.

Something has value if you can sell it, you can't sell a snide jewel the numbers on the jewels are almost fool proof. To sell them they would have to butcher them to such a degree robbing the Louvre would have been pointless.

This heist was for a private seller.

Perhaps for the coronation of some orange bloke in Washington for when he's declared king, emperor, or dictator in chief.

At least there was a good reason for nicking them then.
