  "summary": "Two men stole a 200-carat platinum and diamond necklace from the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna. According to police, they bought entry tickets and smashed a glass display case with a hammer before fleeing with the jewellery. The necklace, which has 673 precious stones, is worth several million dollars and was part of an exhibition devoted to French designers Van Cleef and Arpels.\n\nThe necklace had been worn by an Egyptian queen at her daughter's wedding to the future Shah of Iran. It was on display as part of an exhibition that started in June and was set to end on September 27. The museum has confirmed the theft but will not comment further while the investigation is ongoing.\n\nThe theft is the latest in a series of high-profile heists to hit European museums. The two men did not wear masks and were clearly seen on surveillance cameras. They fled the scene in an unknown direction.",
