Also the wig hides your true hair. What if the dude was bald or something. Instead of a witness saying “one of them was a bald guy” its “one of them was a guy in a weird wig”. It helps to hide your identity.
shane is just worried that ryan might make the whole mission too straight forward and not enough pzaz like fake mustaches and crewmates in costumes dangling on an electric pole
For the postmortem: I think the wigs were a good move. If you’re describing the bandits to a sketch artist, and all you can remember about them is the funky wig they were wearing, or the silly shirt they were wearing, they’re going to be a lot harder to identify
Okay but the fact the Pink Panthers are still around means that they could totally end up watching this video and cackling at the wild theories, idk I like to speculate
Shane makes a good point about the wig being a disctraction. My mom used to work at a bank and they warned against robbers wearing specific things to distract from their face. Like there was a case with a guy that wore a bandaid under his eye. Nobody could remember anything about his physical features, just that he was wearing a bandaid. :)
That's what I was thinking! Forever ago I read that those who want to disguise themselves should wear something ridiculously ostentatious because in the end unless you have something very noticeable about your body (missing limb, unique tattoo/scar, etc.) everyone you encounter will automatically focus on the most pronounced things about you, even if they're fake. And it definitely seems proven in this case. We didn't hear anything about what the people actually looked like in the episode, it was all about things like the wigs and when the duo dressed as women. It's very cool to hear that they actually train at risk employees about that!
there was a robber in my hometown nicknamed the bald/bad hair bandit because he was bald but would wear crazy wigs to commit his robberies. turned out he lived near my parents
The only reason they probably didn't steal from low-middle class people is because their goods were probably less valuable. Not cus they had some noble agenda. In my opinion stealing is nothing to respect regardless of who its from.
For the post mortem: there is a serbian woman (Olivera Ćirković) who wrote a book about her experience of being a part of pink panthers. She stole mostly in Greece, with a group of 'trusted individuals' from the balkans. She went to prison twice. Ecaped prison once while gaining trust from prison guard by painting a picture in the entrance hall. After making some phone calls while the guard wasn't listening - a friend of hers showed up on a scooter. She was smuggled back to Serbia and then caught again after robbing another place in Greece. Her stories are great. I don't think they have a big boss. She explained she worked with people with all kinds of special talent - such as lock picking, system deactivating etc. Her book explains in detail how they stole and how much they cared for one another when imprisoned. Anyway she is dedicated to her son back in Serbia now and Greece banned her from entering the country. I'm suprised you haven't mentioned her...
As a Serbian, I'll be honest the "big boss" thing wouldn't make sense nor do I think it would really work in the group, we value family a lot so they most likely decide together on plans. Considering how there seems to be a lot of members I think they're in chunks, like in mini groups around the world, so there's even less of a reason to have a boss when you're scattered everywhere. Thank you for suggesting the book, I'm really interested in reading it now. Edit: she played basketball??
Me too actually as she was on our Croatian news and also was called to comment on jewllery robbery of my cousins workshop in Split a while ago, so I thought she would be more famous outside of our Balkan region. .
As someone who worked as a security guard, most aren't paid nearly enough to go after someone with a gun. We're mostly a visual deterrent and an extra set of eyes and ears. So the guy did go above and beyond chasing him down and sitting on him.
@@justinhumphries4674 Yeah it's also weird to think you just pay someone a typical hourly wage to protect your personal property with their life. Like I would not do that on my job.
I love the idea of the Pink Panthers trying to organize a crime through Zoom. "Alright, now I'm going to try and share the blueprints. Borko, can you see the screen? Borko? Borko, you're muted."
That explains why they are always breaking each other out of prison too, because if Lilo and Stitch taught me one thing, it's that Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind.
Same with the yakuza and the Italian mob, they're usually for broken people like orphans or son of poor people to give them a chance to rise up in society, ofc that comes with a great cost :(, but pink panthers ig is much different cuz they're only stealing, not loan sharking, money laundering and hitman hiring and drug smuggling like the the real mafias
Post-Mortem: to be fair to Shane on the pompadour feature, a really identifying feature that’s easy to change like a funny wig will be really memorable, and so it’ll be what victims mention in interviews. Therefore the thieves could easily dispose of the wig and thus blend in a bit better while cops are looking for a guy with a pompadour.
Yessss if you watch that one video of an ex chief of disguise reviewing spy movies she said that you either go very flamboyant and distracting and make them think theyre looking for someone eccentric so the real you isnt suspicious, or so boring and mundane you could be anyone
I feel like we skipped over St Tropez 2005 WAY too quickly - more wigs? flower print shirts? escaped in a speedboat? Show-stopping. Now that's the perfect crime.
They must have made use of the fact that the local Gendarmerie ain’t wat it used to be... Guaranteed that Cruchot would have bungled his way into catching the thieves.
I love the Pink Panthers tbh, I remember hearing about them when I was about 6 and I always rooted for them whenever I heard about heists. Diamonds cost way too much and exploit the poor's labor. They're just helping out their own people
I think that their simple methods are responsible for their success. People would expect them to do something elaborate and clever. But they do the exact opposite.

Very true, but it could also be a bad choice in the sense that police would then be able to link your crimes together and could get a better sense of what you might do and how to catch you. I think the best idea would be to wear odd items, but not the same one each time. You could then be theatrical but also smart. Lol I didn't mean to go on a tangent about this
George Carlin had a bit about how he was against tattoos because he was against anything that could help the police. A removable item does the exact opposite 👍
Yeah because if you wear a distinctive piece of clothing/wig that’s what people will remember and it’s something you can get rid of really easily. So it’s less likely someone would remember your face.
shane "throwing curveballs" with the pompadour wig here has the same energy as john mulaneys jj bittenbinders money clip to "throw them off the rhythm" idk how 2 explain
Shane’s hair and outfit makes him look like a Victorian dandy like someone who would be in Oscar Wilde’s inner circle, very stylish in these dark times 😂😂😂
Wearing bad wigs and hawaiian shirts is actually brilliant as it distracts from their actual appearance. No one is going to remember what your face looks like if they keep looking at your hair.
#postmortem Yes, exactly. All the descriptions are going to feature details of the wig, which won't help investigators, in place of some other details about unchangeable appearance. The people will have looked at their faces, but wasted a lot of attention during their brief interaction on the preposterous wig.
Oh they are an organization, i don't know if there is a translated version out there but one of the most famous former members called Olivera Ćirković wrote a book "Ja, pink panter" (I, a pink panther) about her time in the panthers
I think if they were just copycats, a LOT of them would’ve been caught by now. Copycats never do this good a job for years and years, it’s definitely organized.
Post Mortem: A big heist you forgot to mention is one in Greece, where 3 members (if I recall correctly) were captured and sentenced to prison. One of them was a former professional basketball player Olivera Cirkovic, who spent 7 years in a high security Greek prison before managing to escape. She wrote a book called "Ja, Pink Panter" (I, Pink Panther) and has done numerous interviewes - on both press and tv about her time spent in the group, the heists, her time in prison and so on. If you'd like more information on this, I highly recommend checking that out
“How they are laundered” Jewels are easy to get rid of. You can break them down and sells them individually. As far as those paintings? Those were requested and paid in advance. They’re probably in Jeff Bezos’ private art collection.

every serb just acts like they're decades old friends with every other serb even if they've never met before in their life (especially if you're in a country without a lot of slavs in it)
This is the greatest, most skilled group of robbers I've ever seen in my life. That Dubai Mall robbery was CRAZY, just seeing the footage of that is incredible. The Pink Panthers are playing GTA in real life
the ira aren’t far behind them tbh. most secure prison in europe is actually in ireland. it’s patrolled at all times by a entire platoon of irish soldiers with anti aircraft machine guns. the biggest threat to UK prime minister during the whole cold war was the ira’s failed assassination attempton margaret thatcher. ira also robbed a bank for £30 million in cash in 2005 & suspected to be connected to the gardner museum heist in boston
Considering over here in Germany a thief recently couldn't be identified because their outfit was so bizarre that no one was able to remember their face, the pompadour was perhaps simply not daring _enough_
Perfect pair for anything . Over the years I've watched these two hunt for ghosts, do roller derby, go bird watching, do history trivia with puppets and discuss heist's; and enjoyed every minute. The charisma is absolutely fantastic. If you haven't checked out the full spectrum of Shane and Ryan's work , you have to .
For Postmortem: Do you all ever get uncomfortable with the idea that the group or person that the video is about could be watching the episode? Like what if the pink panthers are just chillin in their wigs right now watching an episode of buzzfeed unsolved?
A little. But, hey, Ryan and Shane don't have any precious jewels or anything so chances of them getting targeted for the Panthers' next robbery are slim.
I’m not sure you’re allow to be like... “as to what is going to happen in the future, for now... remains... unsolved”. Lucky for buzzfeed, I’m going to let it slide on account of the fact that I’m addicted to everything they do.
@@letmecatchyouslippin2425 it's not really that it's gonna happen in the future that they can't figure it out, it's that with high scale heists and even small serial heists there's usually a pattern or specific piece cops can use to anticipate where the thieves will go next. the fact there's no pattern and no tangible goals is what makes their next hit a mystery
Honestly props to them, they are probably the coolest set of thieves I've heard about. Its years these heists have been going on and they're just chilling while pulling these off.
Are we sure buzzfeed unsolved isn’t just Ryan and Shane doing their research so eventually they’ll be able to get away with the perfect crime and then later they’ll cover the case on the show and no one will know?
@@Mixedmetalhead nobody should be robbed unless they’re just an awful awful person. Murderers deserve to get robbed. Just because you don’t like her doesn’t mean she deserved it
for postmortem : do you guys ever get scared or feel wierd talking about something that happened so recent? like they might feel threatened by you talking about them? love you guys btw
My mom was robbed by a ring of thieves who stole only diamonds in Houston, TX. They hit about 60 women in the metro area. Very professional, if despicable since they were targeting women in grocery stores alone for their wedding rings.
when various crimes happen that have a lot of similarities, detectives tend to always connect them to eachother as a serial crime spree. they do this so that it makes other crimes easier to identify, the perpetrators easier to identify and it often helps predict future crimes. there is definitely a chance that some of these crimes were stand alone groups but because of the similarities they will always naturally be lumped together by any good detective
it seems that at least some of them were involved in multiple ones, but yeah if there are copycats or just weird coincidences then they could be associated with the group incorrectly. but that's not necessarily a bad thing, if someone gets arrested and thought to be part of the group when they actually aren't, it might just become a false lead, which seems like a potentially useful thing
@@samoak123 - I’m assuming it’s from her music video. It’s been years since I’ve watched it, but maybe check it out and see if that helps you? Hopefully it does lol I’m about to go watch it after I finish this video
@@alexusp I already watched it. Had nothing to do with a heist. The only thing she robbed was 5 minutes of my time, if that's what the guy was referring to?
"Because I'm rooting for the thieves! Are you not?!" Precisely. Always root for the thieves in these stories. Unless they're like full on murdering psychopaths.
Postmortem: if this story got made into a movie Catch Me If You Can style, Ryan and Shane, who would you play? And what item would you want to steal on screen?
for the postmortem: is there any real evidence that the pink panthers were involved in the kim k robbery, or is it basically just conjecture? i feel like they probably didn't do it because the robbers were able to steal only 5.6 mil in jewelry, where as all of the pink panther heists have been in the 70 mil+ range. it just feels like the kim k robbery was a bit low profile for them. would love to hear yalls takes! love u both
This could be due to the fact that despite how rich Kim K is, she probably doesn't own anywhere near the amount (in money value) of diamonds that these jewelry stores do. They could've definitely stolen a lot from Kim, but it just wasn't worth the same amount that a jewelry store's diamonds are worth.
For postmortem: I’d say it’s likely that this obscure group of skilled thieves just hangs around waiting for a store to say they’re needed so the store can collect insurance money. Jewelers make a deal for the panthers to keep a good portion of what’s stolen, the rest the jewelers sell underground themselves and keep a hefty insurance check. Plus the jewelers being involved means they could change the appearance of the jewelry after its stolen so it’s not recognized when it’s resold later by both the panthers and the jewelers themselves. Neither side would break contract because it would implicate the panthers AND the jewelers for theft/fraud, and unravel years of priceless reputation and scheming.
This actually makes a lot of sense, and it's something I never would've thought of, but the Kim K. situation doesn't fit with this. A crime of opportunity then?
That's my personal opinion. These guys don't strike me as particularly bright and it would be virtually impossible for them to get away with so many spectacular robberies in the 2000s without insider help. If it was that simple people would rob these stores every week. The whole Graff Diamonds business is also pretty shady imo. Are they such massive fans of the brand that they need to steal from all their stores across the globe? Strange. Another major red flag is how sensational the narrative around them is. It's almost as if someone needs to make them look like a legitimate threat. Anyone familiar with crime knows that it's rarely bombastic or glamorous. That smacks of fabrication to me.
@@Brattybat I honestly don’t think the panthers robbed Kim k, it really wasn’t their MO. It was probably the panthers’ stigma, the obscurity and plunder, that led it to be labeled as such, not because it was actually the organizations doing.
I’m not sure you’re allow to be like... “as to what is going to happen in the future, for now... remains... unsolved”. Lucky for buzzfeed, I’m going to let it slide on account of the fact that I’m addicted to everything they do.

That's what a witness would describe to the police.
Yeah because if you wear a distinctive piece of clothing/wig that’s what people will remember and it’s something you can get rid of really easily. So it’s less likely someone would remember your face.

Wearing bad wigs and hawaiian shirts is actually brilliant as it distracts from their actual appearance. No one is going to remember what your face looks like if they keep looking at your hair.
This for the postmortem!!
exactly!
i was thinking the same thing
Got my vote.
#postmortem Yes, exactly. All the descriptions are going to feature details of the wig, which won't help investigators, in place of some other details about unchangeable appearance. The people will have looked at their faces, but wasted a lot of attention during their brief interaction on the preposterous wig.
For the post mortem: what if there’s no such thing as Pink Panther and they’re just a bunch of copycats who all say they’re under one organization

@@miel8729 p r e s s
Oh they are an organization, i don't know if there is a translated version out there but one of the most famous former members called Olivera Ćirković wrote a book "Ja, pink panter" (I, a pink panther) about her time in the panthers
I think if they were just copycats, a LOT of them would’ve been caught by now. Copycats never do this good a job for years and years, it’s definitely organized.
Post Mortem: A big heist you forgot to mention is one in Greece, where 3 members (if I recall correctly) were captured and sentenced to prison. One of them was a former professional basketball player Olivera Cirkovic, who spent 7 years in a high security Greek prison before managing to escape. She wrote a book called "Ja, Pink Panter" (I, Pink Panther) and has done numerous interviewes - on both press and tv about her time spent in the group, the heists, her time in prison and so on. If you'd like more information on this, I highly recommend checking that out

Yes, if we're using "highbrow" with its usual derogatory connotation.
My mom was robbed by a ring of thieves who stole only diamonds in Houston, TX. They hit about 60 women in the metro area. Very professional, if despicable since they were targeting women in grocery stores alone for their wedding rings.
Postmortem: How do we know all of these heists were committed by the same group of people? What is the common thread?
Just wigs?
Yeah good point, maybe other heists got mixed up with this one.
when various crimes happen that have a lot of similarities, detectives tend to always connect them to eachother as a serial crime spree. they do this so that it makes other crimes easier to identify, the perpetrators easier to identify and it often helps predict future crimes. there is definitely a chance that some of these crimes were stand alone groups but because of the similarities they will always naturally be lumped together by any good detective
that said, some could’ve been committed by impersonator groups who mimicked the crimes of the pink panthers so they would be detected less easily
it seems that at least some of them were involved in multiple ones, but yeah if there are copycats or just weird coincidences then they could be associated with the group incorrectly. but that's not necessarily a bad thing, if someone gets arrested and thought to be part of the group when they actually aren't, it might just become a false lead, which seems like a potentially useful thing
Yeah. If I was a jewelry robber and aware of this panther group, I'd just wear wigs every time too.

for the postmortem: is there any real evidence that the pink panthers were involved in the kim k robbery, or is it basically just conjecture? i feel like they probably didn't do it because the robbers were able to steal only 5.6 mil in jewelry, where as all of the pink panther heists have been in the 70 mil+ range. it just feels like the kim k robbery was a bit low profile for them. would love to hear yalls takes! love u both
It also seems risky if they want to keep a low-ish profile. I never heard of them until they robbed a constantly papped celebrity.
@@jalapeno1119 oh i totally agree, it just seems very different from the other pink panther robberies
@@katieiskindaok, It's in no way them.
This could be due to the fact that despite how rich Kim K is, she probably doesn't own anywhere near the amount (in money value) of diamonds that these jewelry stores do. They could've definitely stolen a lot from Kim, but it just wasn't worth the same amount that a jewelry store's diamonds are worth.
not you callin Kim K "lowkey" but yeah I agree

For postmortem: I’d say it’s likely that this obscure group of skilled thieves just hangs around waiting for a store to say they’re needed so the store can collect insurance money. Jewelers make a deal for the panthers to keep a good portion of what’s stolen, the rest the jewelers sell underground themselves and keep a hefty insurance check. Plus the jewelers being involved means they could change the appearance of the jewelry after its stolen so it’s not recognized when it’s resold later by both the panthers and the jewelers themselves. Neither side would break contract because it would implicate the panthers AND the jewelers for theft/fraud, and unravel years of priceless reputation and scheming.
Dude thats a decent Idea!
I was thinking the same thing...I think the jewelers are in it with the panthers.
This actually makes a lot of sense, and it's something I never would've thought of, but the Kim K. situation doesn't fit with this. A crime of opportunity then?
That's my personal opinion. These guys don't strike me as particularly bright and it would be virtually impossible for them to get away with so many spectacular robberies in the 2000s without insider help. If it was that simple people would rob these stores every week. The whole Graff Diamonds business is also pretty shady imo. Are they such massive fans of the brand that they need to steal from all their stores across the globe? Strange. Another major red flag is how sensational the narrative around them is. It's almost as if someone needs to make them look like a legitimate threat. Anyone familiar with crime knows that it's rarely bombastic or glamorous. That smacks of fabrication to me.
@@Brattybat I honestly don’t think the panthers robbed Kim k, it really wasn’t their MO. It was probably the panthers’ stigma, the obscurity and plunder, that led it to be labeled as such, not because it was actually the organizations doing.
