Question

February 24,2008 saw thieves break into the showroom of an Italian jeweler liked by Hollywood stars and stole things worth up to 10 million dollars while its owners were in Los Angeles hosting a party to celebrate the Oscars．
The robbery，which took place at the Damiani showroom in Milan’s fashion district that morning，was compared later with the“perfect scenes”in films such as Ocean’s Eleven and The Italian Job．
The thieves had spent more than a month digging a tunnel from a disused cellar(地下室)in a building joined to the showroom．The digging had been heard for weeks but was thought to be part of continuing building works next door. The four thieves，dressed in balaclavas，sunglasses and fake uniforms of the Guards, used an inside stair to reach the first floor，thus avoiding alarms(警报器) and video cameras．
The showroom had been opened for a private viewing and there were five employees inside，including a cleaning lady and a member of the staff，as well as the manager. The thieves said they were there to check the accounts(账目)，then knocked down the staff，tied them up with ropes，covered their mouths with tape and locked them in the washroom. They then helped themselves to jewelry and left the way they had come．
The entire operation had taken little more than 40 minutes．The employees managed to free themselves and raise the alarm，but by then the thieves were long gone．The police said that they were looking into whether the robbers had“inside assistance”that had helped them to avoid the alarms and cameras．
