Interesting article about celebrity rolex theft

http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/20...zing_orla.html

The women ransacked the house and made off with more than $500,000 in watches, cash and other booty, authorities said.

Bloom collects rare watches, and his prized Rolex Milgauss from the 1950s is worth $250,000 alone, according to a Manhattan-based watch dealer.

Interesting............6 months seems to me like an awfully light sentence for robbing a house of about $500K in valuables.

I'm gonna get all my watches appraised by the "manhattan-based jeweler" who consults for the NY Daily News! What a great insurance payout!

It makes a good story..... Not that the media would ever think of exaggerating?
