According to several French media outlets, one _3_ masked man successfully made off with the gems Sunday afternoon in broad daylight in what _4_ as a good, old-fashioned jewel heist. It took place at the luxurious Carlton Hotel on the seafront in Cannes, the very spot where Alfred Hitchcock filmed his 1955 romantic thriller "To Catch a Thief" starring Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. The jewels were part of a collection by the jeweler Leviev _5_ in the Carlton's lobby. French police say a full operation is underway to catch the culprit.
