Torrneau robbery

The Torrneau in the King of Prussia Mall was robbed today. I work a couple stores down at the Apple store and I'm in their pretty much every other day.
Thankfully no one was hurt(and they didn't get my Planet Ocean).

Wow 18 Rolex's for $575,000!! That's averaging 32k per Rolex! Unbelievable.

Those dirty thieves should be captured before they sell the pieces.

The serials should all be logged by the AD so if they do try to sell them they'll get caught eventually.

Wow. I don't live too far from kop these days, fiancé is there frequently. Tomorrow night we will be going out to a restaurant before a concert and you can bet we will be taking taxis rather than walking around Philly. There have been too many unfortunate events in and around the city lately. Flash mobs are ridiculous.

Smash and Grab.

If I was going to smash and grab, it wouldnt be on high-end jewelry with serial numbers. Its just a matter of time before the cops trace it back to the thiefs.

If there drug addicts, they might barter a gold Rolex for some drugs. Poor Rolexes I hope they are okay.

I stopped in there today and they had the Rolex cases fixed and full again. The one salesman who I always talk to and saw in the video wasn't in.

Check out the video. I know one of the salesman in the video. I am glad that no one was hurt.

LOL.

The real bummer is that once they are caught its going to cost us taxpayers millions for their trials and imprisonment.
