Less than a year after a $50K Rolex was taken from the Mayor's Jewelry in Lenox Mall in the Buckhead area of Atlanta, a huge heist tonight.

$500K worth of Rolexes in a 5-6 man smash & grab...

Crazy... I couldn't imagine being at an AD and people running in and smashing the cases!

SohAIS · 22 June 2013, 01:51 PM

Man that sucks. I have been to that store a few times and know one of the sales people. My best wishes to them. Hope no one was hurt

agfebres · 22 June 2013, 02:24 PM

HOTLANTA...

mikkolopez · 22 June 2013, 04:08 PM

Man these guys are getting bolder by the minute. So do these smash and grabbed Rolex find their way to the "pre-owned" market ?

Of course.

The answer would be a double door security where you can't get in or out without a buzz , we have these in Vancouver and frankly I feel safe this way!
Hope they catch the bastards soon...

While nothing is the perfect safeguard, I think that having double doors requiring people to be buzzed in is a relatively simple measure that could make it a lot harder for thieves.

Terrible I hope they catch them

Was just talking about this kind of stuff with my wife yesterday, saying how these stores all need an armed security officer on sight at al times.

bayerische · 22 June 2013, 06:26 PM

500K! Quite a lot.

Hope they get caught.

Rashid.bk · 22 June 2013, 06:46 PM

Incredible, same store.

mjclark32 · 22 June 2013, 07:14 PM

Wow, hope they're caught ASAP!

cop414 · 22 June 2013, 08:49 PM

What a bunch of pr1cks, hope that they get caught and caught soon before they do it again.

Mystro · 22 June 2013, 09:15 PM

How pathetic that these lazy dirt bags steal objects that we have to save and budget with disapline to purchase.

68camaro · 22 June 2013, 10:26 PM

Sorry, no sympathy here. I've been in there half a dozen times, never seen security or any preventions. if I was insurance company I'd tell them where to stick their claim.....

I'm surprised that shatter-proof glass, at a minimum, isn't the industry standard for insurers-- especially after there's already been an incident.

Whit · 22 June 2013, 10:38 PM

Great store with helpful sales staff with large variety of models. Lenox Mall, however, is not the best place for Mayors. They need to be in a stand alone building like Brown & Co. has done down on Peachtree. And yes, their security measures leave nch to be desired.

Devine watch · 22 June 2013, 10:41 PM

Ya. They are the Rolex Boutique for ATL..largest selection of all local Mayors here in the Atl and surrounding area...

Clutch Cargo · 22 June 2013, 11:57 PM

I don't understand why jewelers don't have display cases with an unbreakable plexiglass layer sandwiched between two pieces of tempered glass.

Also they should have a security guard located in a back room and double security doors. If there were a robbery, the guard could lock the outer door at the first sign of trouble. Once the robbers made their escape and got to the outer door and found it locked, the guard would lock the inner door, trapping the robbers between the two doors. Tear gas and 100 decibel alarms located between the two doors optional.

SohAIS · 22 June 2013, 11:59 PM

Easier said than done. However I do agree with the shatter proof glass. They should have had that after their previous incident

Wow!!!! I've bought a rolex from this AD and visit quite often. Terrible!!

coloradogps · 23 June 2013, 12:29 AM

Why don't they have this installed in their stores?

77T · 23 June 2013, 12:41 AM

I don't know the best answer to deter such large scale attacks. There were half-dozen perps armed with sledges. The glass security film looks interesting, but then the crews would just "up their game" to do the crime - which could endanger the staff and customers.

Too much visible armed presence would simply push many customers to another nearby AD.

But they could prolly segregate the high-end watches into a boutique within the store's footprint - like a store with a store - and have a Sallyport (double door buzz-in) at its entrance.

aeon888 · 23 June 2013, 12:41 AM

Lucky robbers there was no ccw customer in the store during that time or they'd be shot.

They should have metal screens under the glasses just like the gun shelves at scheels.

rockmastermike · 23 June 2013, 12:53 AM

It's been some time since been in ATL but isn't there a Mayors in Phipps, too. I guess that one is smaller with less inventory?!?
