So $0 not 2.4m? ...

We see it everytime they shift all the stocks to the back room where the vault is

Title: $2.4M worth of Rolexes stolen from store.

Story: Storeowner says “Nothing was stolen”.
Poor journalism

My suggested title would be 'clickbait'.

From the article:
The store’s spokesman said “no watches of any kind were stolen, as there weren’t any on display in the store. There were simply windows broken and some vitrines smashed.”

High end jewelry I suppose or am I missing something?

Regardless just plain sad. Is it supposed to be protesting or an excuse to smash and grab?

The nypost is total garbage!

Looks like lots of damage but other sources also quote “no watches stollen”.

I would be very surprised if these amateur idiots could crack a large jewelers safe!

Good lord, this article is a nice example of why I've lost respect for journalism and major news outlets in general. Standards are gone, editorials have taken over, and this article leaves readers scrambling over contradictions.

This story is making the copy paste rounds across all my feeds: $2.4 million (or maybe $0 if you read to the bottom) worth of Rolex stolen... catchy, yes. But what a joke.

It's actually a far better newspaper than the NY Daily News.

And what is your opinion of the Looters?

The same exact thread was shut down yesterday.

Let's hope this one gets locked too.
