Whatever happened to the diamond that went missing in F1 crash?

A $300,000 diamond attached to a Jaguar’s nose cone disappeared when Christian Klien crashed on the first lap of the 2004 Monaco Grand Prix. More than two decades later, it has not been found, leaving open whether it was lost among the debris, swept away or taken by someone.

Jaguar arranged the stunt to promote the team and the film Ocean’s Twelve, whose story featured a diamond-encrusted Fabergé egg. Two cars carried gems worth about $1m in total today; Klien’s car was damaged after contact at Mirabeau and hit the barriers at the Loews hairpin.
