Okay, dudes, now that we know WHAT the jewel could be, we need your help figuring out HOW to get our hands on it. It’s going to be heavily guarded, wherever it is. Some of the jewels you mentioned have been stolen before. Can you find out a little bit about those thefts? Like, do we need to go buy grappling hooks or invest in some nanotechno electronics? And should we be worried about curses, like the one supposedly on the Hope Diamond?
Anything you come up with could help us out!
-Dan

okaay well tip
#1 dont stash your jewl in a piece of fruit,sounds wierd yes, but one jewl thief was caught cause this lady bit into a piece of fruit where they stashed it in the lobby.
#2 talk to people with no clue what your talking about ,because instead of of the person knowing what your doing with it they tell you about it and so on and so forth.
#3 choose trustworthy partners
#4 finish your food! some jewl theif didnt finish his food when he was in the middle of the heist.....and well lets just say eat before you go.
#5 some times you have to do it in daylight!! There was this group called the pink panthers and in december 2005 they dressed up in womens clothing and robbed a jewl store! (pretty efective if you ask me)

@Dan - I think you should try what you did with the Medusa painting at the museum. But then, the police are still on your case and they might figure the two thefts are connected or be ready for you when you come. But definitely grappling hooks!!

All of your work and our work is worth it so just remember this: Never, never, give up. You are never alone. Even though the sky is grey it is actually a rainbow!

First to get wherever it is use the HALO then when you get there do ninja moves to defeat the gaurds (when doing this wear sunglasses so no guard can see who you are)

Hope Diamond
Also known as "Le bleu de France" or "Le Bijou du Roi", is housed in the Smithsonian in Washington D.C, U.S.A. It has been described as the "most famous diamond in the world" and is said to be the second most-visited artwork in the world, after the Mona Lisa. Yet, it also has the rumor of being cursed.
The first three owners seemed to have died at an old age at the time, then the next two were Gilloutined (Louis XVI, and his wife)
The next King George IV of the United Kingdom Lived 1762-1830 died age 67, but we are unsure if he actually owned it. But it is true that he went insane before he died in his (I did a report on him.)
1812 Daniel Eliason, a London jeweler owned it.
Then Thomas Hope died at age 62, I think this is when it became known as the "Hope Diamond" Or it could have been when three generations later Lord Francis Hope died was forced to sell it and died at age 75
All the people who have owned it seemed to die at an old age, I think the whole curse is just a superstition.

HOW TO STEAL A JEWEL
If the 'thing' which you need to steal is in a heavily guarded place, monitor whatever's happening, the security, etc.,.
Make a quick distraction, like pushing the fire alarm or screaming 'I see a thief!' or something, while they are distracted, hack the security or try to sneak in it.
Bring something at least near the weight of the jewel while you grab the diamond, there might be a weight security thing. (Check P&F)
While the people and the guards are distracted run away from the place where you stole it.
*Always remember the CCTV Cameras, the police might track you, so I suggest to close it or stop it from working before stealing the you-know-what
*Always wear something non-robber like and ALWAYS bring and put in gloves. They will prevent you from leaving fingerprints and such
*Do not believe in the curses, the Vespers or some used to be bad Cahills are probably responsible of the deaths. So try to bring some weapons while you're with the diamond or jewel, in case someone attacks you or something.
*For the Second line, just use knock out gas.
*NEVER EVER GET DISTRACTED
*Use really good make-up and character. An easy job for a Janus

Dan, dispite popular belief, it is not the Hope Diamond that you are after, it is the Golden Jubilee diamond. I know because at the end of The Dead of Night I found this: "HELLO CAHILLS! Do you ever feel that you lack a certain sparkle? I do. In fact, right now I lack exactly 545.67 carats worth of sparkle. Get the Jubilee for me and I'm sure I'll feel better. And don't make me say pretty please. I doubt you'll like the consequences. Vesper One.

Dearest Daniel, (Gosh, now I sound like Ian. Let's try this again.)
Hey Dude,
I think a grappling hook could always come in handy. Try not to use the main entrances, because they are the ones with the most security. I know Amy doesn't wear makeup but I would bring some and a mirror to test (get through) if there are lasers. And if all else fails-- NINJA MOVES! Just the way you and Greyson practised as kids.
Good Luck,

Hey Dan! :) Ok, here's my suggestion: buy anything and everything you think you may possibly need! Cause it's better to do that than to find out you're missing something when you are stealing the diamond! And uh, dude, your last name is Cahill. You're already cursed!

I would suggest that you walk in casually. It always works when I'm in a nerf battle zone. Just make sure that you don't do anything suspicious. Please. And no guns. They have the diamond carefully guarded, and you'll probably have to go through a metal detector. Even if they let you see the diamond, you can't be a dweeb and stare at it the entire time, or whisper loudly to Amy, "It's heavily guarded! How will we steal it?" like I said, dweeb. Then, when there isn't a lot of people around, conk the guard on the head with a rock, (how to get it in? Well, what do you think purses were invited for? Have Amy carry one. With a pretty rock in it. Say she got it for you, and you can't part with it.) then brake the glass with said rock, then grab it and run out. Might want Sinead or Evan to make you a bulletproof vest. Cause there will be guns with the guards...

Oh, that's easy for someone who can steal the Medusa! Cahill contacts are everywhere, right? Find out if any Cahills work at the museum as guards! Try to get that Cahill on a good overnight shift. Then he could maybe, you know, "accidentally" do something to a security camera! Then comes the exchange, and you have a diamond!
I can't wait for Day Of Doom.
It's cruelty that it can't come out soon!
Will the Cahills win, or lose?
I'll have to wait for this important news!

Dan I have an idea, make a pen that sprays ink that is loaded with a chemical that alows you to have full control over the person that you sprayed. So then you could spray the sucurity gaurds and they would do what ever you want so you could get them to take the dimond out for cleaning but they are really giveing you the dimond outside. You half to idmit it is a good plan I mean no-one would suspect a sucurity gaurd to steal the dimond. And I know you can do it, you and the whole Cahill team are very smat and if my idea dose not work then the Cahills can think and build somthing else.
Well talk to you later bye

i think you should tell hamilton to cause a distraction on the guards then you just use some baby powder to see if there are any lasersyou can either try to find a way to deactivate the security cameras and all the other stuff or jus grab the diamond and leave
youer already criminals so it wont mater if they see who did the stuff

Hey Dan, I think the best way to steal the diamond would be to distract the security guards. What you'd need to do is get every guard in the building rushing to one spot that is far away from the jewel, so you can then steal it. Maybe set off something that makes a very loud bang. It would also be helpful if you got Sinead to make a EMP, so that you can destroy all the security cameras in the vicinity of the diamond. Oh, and if you can calculate the weight of it then you should bring an object that weighs as much as it in case there's a weight sensor. In case any guards look in your bags on the way out, the container that houses the diamond should have a secret pocket in it.
Hope this helps,

Ok, first off, the Jubilee is in a castle. Knowing that, there must be a leader of that castle. You should cause a distraction (you're on the right track, Addy), but think about this. Yes, the guards have to protect the Jubilee. But that's not their top priority. Their top priority is to protect the owner of that jewel. Namely, the king of the castle. Or maybe another royal figure. Make the guards think that one of them is in trouble just long enough for them to leave the diamond. That's when you snatch it. You're going to have to watch out for any security systems, though. Other than that, you should be good. Try grabbing the jewel during tourist hours. No one will expect it then.

first off, you will have to survey the area, find all the guards, their patrols, habits, and whatever they might do in a stressful situation. your going to need martial arts skill, in which you already have them, to dispatch of any guards that you may encounter. then, your going to need a distraction to draw most of the guards away from the jewel. maybe... and explosion?
now here is the hard part: retrieval. you cant use the air ducts, thats impossible. you cant simply waltz out, the camera's will catch you. your going to have to use something like... a cart, one capable of riding on stairs, to get to the roof, and you could possibly have a helicopter pick you up, like a chinook or skycrane.
all you will need, is simply a distraction, transportation, and an exfil. simple as that. plus, you might want some attleboro camera freezing or image looping software to counteract the camera system.
to be entirely honest, the big question is WHY you need this jewel, or at least the vespers. inscription, material, or a secret compartment? i dont know. your gonna have to improvise.
for as long as i live, the vespers shall fear my might, for i work in the dark, to serve the light. and any evil doers that try to enforce their way, they shall witness my weapon, the assassins blade!

Here how it works:
If there are lasers protection, disactivate it first
Weight sensor: Find something that will substitute the jewel you're going to steal
In glass case: Using glass cutter will do the trick.
Code access: Do surveillance to find out the code
Bio access( like fingerprints or retina scan): gain the security's trust or get their info secretly
Time of stealing: NIGHT - Almost dangerous
DAY: Totally dangerous

Well, you could use the HALO method to get onto the roof of the place, then find an opening into the room and sneak past security. If you think there are lasers than use that powdery thing.If you reach the gem wear gloves so finger prints won't be left and then sneak out the way you came in

Oh please Dan! Don't go all movie on us! Grappling hook? Effective for getting around but can be a bit tricky when you don't want to get caught. Nanotechno electronics? Do you already have some handy? Because they take forever to make! Remember this is a time sensitive mission. You can't get caught and you can't waste time. Any way I worry some day you'll be poor, because your money isn't endless. I suggest not to over think but not to be stupid about it. Disgusies and fake ID is always crucial as well as a good transportion. Stealing the jewel is only half the job, the other half is much harder it's getting away. I wish you still had Ian because he would be able to give this lecture instead. Remember to study the weak points and strong points of the jewels home before hand to know the best approach. Also Amy won't be distracted if she's already been there. Good Luck.
