This feels like a late 90s Guy Ritchie heist flick. Someone light the Statham signal!

I’d have just gone with Hatch but that only works if Brad Pitt signs on.

Can we chain this crook to a mountain and let the peregrine falcons have his liver?

At least the U.S. would have given him a bit more than the equivalent of a shoplifting misdemeanor:

Per the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, it’s illegal to kill or possess hawks or their parts unless you have a permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It also makes it illegal to destroy a nest that young birds rely on for survival. Violations of this law, depending on the action, can result in fines between $15,000 and $250,000 or jail time between six months and two years.

And don’t even think about additional penalties if it were a golden or bald eagle…

The region has a long-standing cultural tradition of wealthy fucks buying rare and expensive goods to show what wealthy fucks they are.
