Rolexes are far more portable than the dollar-equivalent of bread!

Nope. Blame it on scumbags who do this sort of thing even when the economy is good.

You'll probably even see them with boxes which are easily obtained. Stay away however of any new ones without papers or warrrenty cards.

No it was the Falls. I live about three minutes from there. The falls is like an outside mall. All the shops are facing the central water feature "the falls." The entry way to the parking lot is very close to the store. All those guys had to do was smash and grab and run twards US1 or a car waiting in the parking lot. Its happened at that store before.

sunset place is a newer mall built on the property that the Holsom Bakery used to sit back in the 70's. Its on the corner of Red and sunset. That is also an open air mall.

I don't think any of the guys committing these kinds of crimes are doing so because they lost money in the stock market. These scumbags are pros.

As a side note, the boxes and warranty papers/cards are easier to copy than the watches, as they are usually not scrutinized as carefully.

Wow, with all this going on I might have to take some protection to the VIP night they are having on Thursday night in Miami. (Can't disclose location since the burglars might ambush us)

Hopefully they'll have more security than usual.
