In the aftermath of a daring daylight robbery at the Louvre Museum in Paris, Associated Press photographer Thibault Camus captured an intriguing image that has since captivated the internet. The photo, taken shortly after the theft of the crown jewels, shows a sharply dressed man walking past uniformed police officers who had sealed off the museum. While Camus initially dismissed the shot as unremarkable due to an obstructed foreground, the image quickly gained traction online. Social media users speculated that the well-dressed man, clad in a trench coat, jacket, tie, and fedora, was a French detective investigating the high-profile heist. Some even likened him to the iconic Inspector Clouseau from the ‘Pink Panther’ films. However, Camus clarified that the man was simply a passerby evacuating the area. The Paris prosecutor’s office, when questioned, playfully declined to confirm or deny the man’s identity, adding to the intrigue. The photo, which has garnered millions of views, continues to fuel speculation and fascination.
