Not a smash-n-grab, but a similar story.

I have a good friend that is the manager of a jewelry store. He was telling me last year that some guy came into the store and was looking at watches. The guy eventually got into the gold Cartier section (they don't have Rolex at his store) and the guy wanted to compare an all gold Cartier to an all gold Breitling. The sales girl, who was recently hired, got both out and laid them on the mat. Then somebody made a disturbance on the other side of the store (the store is on a corner in the mall, so it has two entrances), the sales lady turned around, and the guy bolted with $40K worth of watches.

Apparently he and his accomplices had been doing this at malls across central NC for a few months. Last I heard, they had not been caught.
