Mark Your Watchlist: New Netflix Documentary 'Stolen: Heist of the Century'

Add this to your watch list if you are a documentary fanatic like me and into Jewelry.  This new Netflix documentary titled Stolen: Heist of the Century, is set to premiere on Friday, August 8, 2025. This documentary is directly adapted from the book Flawless: Inside the Largest Diamond Heist in History (by Scott Selby & Greg Campbell) and will explore in depth the 2003 Antwerp Diamond Heist in Belgium, with thieves escaping with over $100 million in valuables. The Antwerp Diamond center, located in the heart of Belgium was supposed to be one of the most secured buildings in the world. District had 2 police stations, extensive security camera, armed ground security, one of the biggest commercial hubs in the world for precious stones, so how did these criminals pull it off... with over $100 million in valuables??? 

I worked for one of the high end Jewelry Designers in the world (a 'flex' kinda, lol😂), and always joked that my office was literally in a vault with no windows and 24hr security camera.  I can successfully do reality TV, lol. Our building could have been the FBI office with such high end security, that's why I am baffled at how this was pulled off.  I have not read the book yet, but I think this has to be an inside job of some sort or with the help of an affiliate such as mailing/delivery service, transportation such as Brinks in the US, etc.  IDK, can't wait to see and possibly read the book also.
