The last remark by the narrator was the best, "She could even be released earlier ON GOOD BEHAVIOR." hahahaahaha

[@traceytembo9206]

I thought the same, "released on good behaviour she has failed to show all her life"

[@conciergefrontdesk963]

That little old lady is no threat to humans just expensive jewels.

[@cherie7725]

Her technique of stealing the items may not have been sophisticated, but Louise had some serious BDE to be a black girl raised poor in the US and manage to integrate into high society in foreign countries. Did she even speak French when she convinced a random guy to drive her to Belgium?

[@LaReginaPatrizia]

She probably spoke a few words with confidence and poise.

[@joshthemediocre7824]

Yeah you're not getting any sympathy over your blood diamonds...I wish she would have stolen more and never got caught.

[@Ethan.s..]

She just turned 90 years old. Was back in jail again as of mid 2017.

What? At 90? This is her career for sure

Guys! Literally! Look her up! She’s still stealing she even stole after this documentary was made 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheOnetimeshawty]

😅😅

[@NevadaLamb]

I looked her up, “Queen of Jewels” and got a bunch of Queen Elizabeth videos! 🤣🤣

[@burnheretic3950]

After this documentary she continued with the taking of jewelry. Last thing presented was in 2017. Got caught almost every time, continued to get out after just a couple months because of jail overcrowding etc.

[@xila-man8249]

Lies

[@jodiwhitfield1483]

This story reminds me of the movie based on a true story "Catch Me if You Can." Maybe that is why people kind of like her even though she is a criminal. They need to use this lady and her "know how" to train jewelry store owners and employees how "not to get robbed."

[@wyattpeterson6286]

Exactly. A good way to rehabilitate thieves, hire them to teach people what to watch out for.

[@t2t249]

Catch Me if You Can was fraud and money laundering not jewelry robbing

[@wyattpeterson6286]

@@t2t249 Yes, besides Carmen sandiego used all sorts of gadgets and she taunted the authorities. I think a closer comparison is this woman is her stealthy opposite.

[@blueodum]

@@t2t249 Indeed. It was mostly forgery.

[@Carolina_Panthers145]

She will forever have my full support

[@zensbleexperience3470]

I had never heard of bail being set prior to capture. I am really enjoying this series and channel.

[@danni1993]

What an interesting case. It's very rare to have a woman and working alone, to get away with so much crime.

[@casper9373]

good for her she robbed from the rich and not the poor

[@rosemarykriegel3226]

Stealing is never a good thing. How would you feel if someone stole from you? Not good, I bet. Remember you are rich compared to others.

[@Crystal-be9ze]

I wonder who is taking care of her kids while she was fulfilling her life of crime and prison

[@Jan2010new]

Exactly what I was thinking. It seems her “charm” has blinded many to the fact that she’s just another irresponsible parent.

[@ravpol1440]

I don’t think she got any kids

[@woowaptibam5253]

Right she went from unemployed single mother to traveling to Europe and getting arrested.

[@AxxinTheSupernova]

Where did it say she had kids?

[@Crystal-be9ze]

@@ravpol14403:49 she had a “family to support” I’m assuming she had kids since they spoke of her husband and didn’t say “she had a husband to support” it’s called common sense or drawing a reasonable inference.

[@NoNopeAndNo]

"Now that she had the right look..." Looks like a school drama costume on a 14yo 🙄😅

[@sistersofthemaccabees2497]

I LOVE THIS WOMAN!! 😍😍😍😍

[@thatonethisone5904]

It’s naughty, but she fascinates me

[@ashleyking6743]

I too love this woman. It made me happy to see her smile and laugh while telling her story. She seems like a sweet lady who just liked a bit of thrill in her life. She never hurt or scared anybody so YOU GO GIRL lol.

Awe let that lovely lady keep the bling,, she stole it fair and square 😄

[@butterflyeyes399]

Okay, how did she afford going to Europe if I thought she was struggling at first?

[@TheDimz14]

Probably stole something

[@prestoncheapbtheadphoneste3010]

Right. Back and forth. Back and forth. How’s she buy her clothes.

[@sararichardson737]

This part is missing. From being broke in Virginia to Geneva via Monte Carlo?

[@MasterMagz]

She seems so proud of what she did

[@jeaniemarczniec7755]

She was good, but she should have never given up her secrets. She had to survive and she did, yet she went to prison did her time. Now she will live quietly somewhere and she will be okay. She survived and knew how to play the game and did it with such class.

[@Nightenstaff]

Not even close. She's 90 years old and still stealing (most recent arrest was 2017). She chose her path; that's all there is to say.

[@GbawlZ]

Why are you mistaking being soft-spoken with having class? She's literally from rural West Virginia and has now been stealing for 8 decades. She is the antithesis of class.

[@TheOnetimeshawty]

🥰🥰🥰 she is a pillar!!!

[@David53D]

I remember lifting a ring from a store in downtown Detroit surprised at how easy it was. I eventually learned my lesson since sitting in jail wasn't worth it.

[@zensbleexperience3470]

Actually I have respect for her survival plan. She step up and perfected her game. Not everybody is born into a world of opportunity. Great video.

[@foutus]

No you do not steal from other people. Monaco UK London are all cheap places. When she escaped she suddenly had new clothes? Passports do not cost anything? I can name some more. Dont call the racist card because she dint have a problem in europe. 😁Well you got 3 like's in a month.

[@guriausa]

She was arrested in 2017 for stealing $86 in goods from a Walmart. Wow.

[@cashcowtv3203]

Amazing

[@caillouthebuilder]

she seems more like Catwoman than Carmen Sandiego

[@odemaj8605]

This lady is fabulously hilarious, 😂😂the old lady scam works every time😅😅 Human nature is predictable, if you bother to pay attention like the queen 😂❤❤l

[@venessahendricks8019]

Lol i know its wrong but DAMN i was routing for her. To bring oneself out of poverty as a young black girl in rural west virginia, takes a special kind of chutzpah lol i dont condone her actions but damn, those skills of survivals are something else lol

This is a thief. Not to be emulated or placed on a pedestal. The icing on the cake is she somehow blamed racism for her life of petty crimes…

The staff are to blame. Try doing that to me? Not a chance in hell.

[@VladimirTolskiy]

Hopefully, this video will teach talented non-viloent criminals that there is a good time to stop and to capitalize on the fame and to write an autobiography, perhaps. Otherwise, a criminal profession is not like a trade and you can do it as long as your health allows you to.

😅Technology had changed (fax machines) and she dmn near 70 years old still trying to operate using the same method she used 50 years prior. Obviously did not realize when she needed to retire. I’m very disappointed at Louise for doing this last job. Also what worked for her for so long is the ignorance of law enforcement. College graduates with very limited street smarts. They finally used the copy/fax machine and the current detective put wanted posters of Louise in jewelry stores across the country . 😂😂

It's despicable the story that she clearly crafted to excuse her petty theft in WV. What's wrong with simply admitting you were always a thief? Why do you have to give a reason for why you became a thief? The documentary states that she "had to steal her way out", as if they allowed her to write the episode for her.

[@mfwicwaterproofingptyltd6199]

She was the true lord of the rings aka Nana 😅. Who ever snitched on Nana sucks.

[@user-bp8fh3mx2l]

People praising..."fair" or not that's not a life to live...in an out of jail, going from store to store etc. I think at this point it's not even for the money, she might be addicted already.
