Another Smash and Grab Rolex Robbery
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/trending...195725090.html
Unfortunately, there was another smash and grab robbery where Rolexes were stolen from a jewelry store. This time they entered on motorcycles like a scene from a movie.

Yeah I read this yesterday.
I'm guessing the store hold all models serial numbers so if their ever sold on now their flagged as stolen ?. Or would that make too much sense. |

That does not matter where these watches go now. Eastern europe that is.

This happened in my local mall earlier in the year, minus the motorcycles, and minus the escaping.

Boy that bystander put himself in jeopardy making that video. Glad he did though.
Catch those fools, put them behind bars, and melt the key. |

Too bad the shoppers were not carrying guns. If I was there I would blow the brains out of the Rolex thieves.

The robbers dropped a lot of their loot while making their escape.

Dickheads, too think that honest people like ourselves work hard and save up for these fine pieces (I saved 4 years for my 2 presidents) and then you get people like these that do this? Fools

Surveillance video here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...=feeds-newsxml
The 3 standing guard appear to have only hatchets! Definitely not a US robbery. You can see how the ones inside are just tossing the watches from the front window display into a sack. So not only will buyers not be getting boxes nor warranty cards, but there are going to be some scratches on those pcls. |
