Things are just getting worse. Hopefully no one was hurt during this.

I’m glad no one was physically hurt.

Another side of me always wonders what these items are worth to the criminals. Like 30 cents on the dollar?

The Rolex area was empty of customers and employees from the video and the crooks were in and out within 30 seconds

Hard to say, they can be used as collateral and payment for other illegal items

Back in 2017, my stolen Platona fetched $8K for the burglars. At the time preowned full sets were selling a bit below MSRP. So about 13¢/USD...

In all honesty I suspect less we have a lot of car jackings here lately and a 70k Audi stolen nets the scum about 1k.

Unfortunately this is the society we live in these days. Hopefully these scum bags get caught as they offer nothing but misery
