Somehow the difference isn't surprising
Gems and jewellery worth up to $100m stolen in heist on armoured van in California
The vehicle had been transporting the precious cargo between jewellery shows when it was robbed, authorities say.
Brandy Swanson, director of security company Brink's, which owned the van, said between 25 and 30 bags were taken, containing an unknown number of individual pieces.
Estimates of the value of the loot vary wildly, with 18 victims reporting more than $100m (£84.3m) in losses, while a Brink's spokesperson said the items were valued at less than $10m (£8.4m).

Here's a radical solution. Why don't both parties agree on what the stuff is worth before it's handed over?
Ah the law of diminishing returns has come into play early........
Sounds more like the Law of Laundering Losses.
Brandy ... one would need after that.
Sam - it all sounds rather iffy to me because it isn't easy to imagine the owners being uninsured. Although a jewellery dealer once told us that insurance can be a problem and in their case they were not supposed to openly disclose the value of their stock.
Wiggia - I bet they didn't expect returns to diminish that quickly though.
decnine - big losses though.
James - several I imagine.
