Americans have a longstanding emotional connection with France (we were unified in our grief over the burning of Notre-Dame) but there’s something different in the air now: a pro-heist frisson. It’s not that people are salivating at the idea of criminality, but some are agnostic about — nay, amused by — the robbery. Part of this is because fires aren’t funny and heists kind of are. They are painted as sexy, madcap or soulful in pop culture (“Ocean’s Eleven,” “The Thomas Crown Affair,” even “The Goldfinch”). There are also more serious discussions about colonial extraction and security failures.
