I'm just glad to know nobody got hurt, I hope they get arrested and that justice will be served.

These "smash and grab" threads have really been going well all week (sarcasm--each one has been quickly locked).
Does anyone want to take bets on how long this one will last?

The threads or the robberies?

I hate seeing stuff like this. Seems like its more and more common lately. I really wish all these people would get caught and they would televise that.

I have to wonder did these guys know exaclty what model's to go after? 17 watches at a value of $940k that would put the average price of each rolex over $55k. Pretty expensive for your average rolex. Or is the media just over hyping the value to try and get more attention? Would be criminals could see the almost $1m payday and the easy smash and grab and try something similar.

I guess you could always reinforce display cases with plexi glass. Would be much harder to break for a quick smash and grab.

They should have hired an armed guard.

SohAIS · 27 June 2013, 03:00 AM

i think they had a security guard who ran after the thieves till the parking lot. Also at first it was reported the stolen rolexes were worth 500k. Now all of a sudden its being reported at 940k

00pumpkin · 27 June 2013, 03:38 AM

Been in there a few times. Most of those high-end stores have an armed guard. I guess this one didn't. Glad everyone is ok. Sux that this happens....

Guess we know that another price increase is coming now.

threemonkeys · 27 June 2013, 04:53 AM

The 'brazen' gents need to fire the old guy robber dude that ran out last. Seems like he would slow them down a bit.

Just saying.
