It won't take too long to catch those pair of scum.
I feel sorry for the poor bloke who was robbed, no lasting physical damage I hope but he'll never forget that.

I read the article this morning and couldn't believe one readers contribution in the comment section.

"Who in their right mind would pay, let alone wear every day, a watch costing £15,000. it's just asking for trouble, in the depressing world of Britain of today"

You watch the videos see the images and that the only comment you can make? incredible a person is asking for it by working hard and buying a luxury item...I don't know what angered me more the video or the idiots contribution.

Interesting point but only when in that situation, who knows how we would react, I guess we are programmed to either run or fight. Handing it over would not necessarily mean that there wouldn't be a bad outcome.

If caught I dare say they'll serve only a few years in prison, but utter scum deserve much worse!

I agree human instinct is either of those two - however i think if a gun is pointed that is when you put hands up then naturally take it off and hand over ironically. I mean, for all he knew the guy was trying to KILL him

"If caught I dare say they'll serve only a few years in prison, but utter scum deserve much worse![/QUOTE]"

Depends if the magistrate applies it as attempted murder which I hope they do.

I hate all about robberies!! Where I live is the national sport during summer season!! Many mafias take a lot of profit with this. Hate this and those mafias too!!
Few years ago someone took off from the wrist a 500k$ Richard Mille in a petrol station. You can see it at YouTube.

Icon1 Mugged.

Police in the UK have released this CCTV footage of a man being attacked for his £15K Rolex! Scary thought...
