Organized robbery after last week's New York IWJG show.

This is from the email IWJG (International Watch and Jewelry Guild) sent to it's members. Some of you visit these shows when they're in town, so a word of caution.


"Following The International Watch and Jewelry Guild Show in New York City (October 26th, 2011), on the way to the airport, one of the attendees was robbed. His cab was forced off the road and blocked by assailants in two SUV’s. The window was smashed and his inventory stolen. Luckily no one was injured but that was a very real possibility.

Please remember there are opportunists everywhere and in every industry. There are some mean people in this world. Protect yourselves in every way possible. For Heaven’s sake, if attacked give them the merchandise. Merchandise can be replaced. Nothing can replace you!"

I have nothing to add. Be vigilant, people - bad guys are everywhere.
