History Buff Compares Krispy Kreme’s ‘Hands-Off’ Doughnut Heist to the Great Diamond Heist of 2003
In a twist that has doughnut lovers and history buffs both drooling, a brazen theft of 250 glazed treats from a Krispy Kreme delivery truck in Chicago is being compared to the legendary, unsolved Antwerp Diamond Heist of 2003. “Both relied on a single, overlooked point of entry and a team that vanished without a trace,” says Dr. Amelia Vance, a history professor. “The diamonds were worth millions, but the perpetrators here got the real treasure: a hot, fresh, melt-in-your-mouth moment that money can’t replicate. This is the new heist of the century.”
