Diamond Thieves

Sitting on the balcony of the upscale fish restaurant, observing the crowd below and slowly drinking light coctalie, listening the slow music mixed with the sound of the sea wawes. This can sound like perfect vacation in some exotic far away from home land.
But not for the Pink Panthers - the most notorious diamond thief criminal groups. They "work" around the world and they are coming back on a vacation and safe hideaway in their homeland Montenegro.
Pink Panthers are the biggest and most notorious crime organization specialized for a diamonds. In the last 10 years the Interpol believe that they stole diamonds worth more than $350 millions in a 26 countries of the world. The jewelery owners from Paris, London, Rome, but also an upscale places like Monaco, Saint Trope and Dubai are shivering with fear just on the mentioning the name of the Pink Panthers . They are organization with more than 200 members. They are former members of the paramilitary groups which were fighting in the former Yugoslavia.
The diamond robberies was always different without any recognizable pattern. Sometimes they were sophisticated operations with a months of planning, learning and becoming familiar with a security systems, jewelery store guards, employees in the jewelery stores and sometimes just a quick 20 second jobs of storming in the jewelery shop, breaking the display glass near the front door taking the diamond jewelery and disappearing into the crowd of people.
The only shore piece of information about the Pink Panthers was that they are all citizens of the former Yugoslavia and most of them are from Montenegro and Serbia and few are from Croatia.
