The largest jewel robbery

Robbery is one of the topping crimes all over the world. Petty robbery is happening almost every second, not just in the United States but also even to the smallest towns. Most of these robberies could be seen in the television.

But have you ever had the idea what is the most largest jewel robbery in the world? Estimated at loss of the largest ever gem and jewel theft happened in Antwerp Diamond Center Belgium. This happened on February 15-16, 2003.

Does anyone know exactly what happened? I've never even heard of this incident lol. But, I once read an article about how for years people bought a secret house in Brazil, and they dug an underground tunnel to the bank. One day, when the bank closed they stole a large amount ofm oney. Over $100M. I'm pretty sure they got caught, but don't remember the whole story.
