Well, I guess he knew his watches. Stole a gorgeous watch.

rob · 29 October 2009, 07:06 AM

Yikes!

sbux · 29 October 2009, 07:13 AM

But in the news they identified him already and know his name. So he cant get away !

DadsWatch72 · 29 October 2009, 07:15 AM

If you gonna steal one, why not make it a Platinum DD?

AWATCH · 29 October 2009, 07:18 AM

It is a shame that these things happen and even worse that if caught probably just get a slap on the wrist.

Art 1 · 29 October 2009, 07:25 AM

Interesting, I've bought a few Rolexes and Breitlings from that location and know that salesman. They never have security there.

Jason71 · 29 October 2009, 07:27 AM

Scumbag

R1@160@alltimes · 29 October 2009, 07:37 AM

They've probably napped that looser already - his mugshot was as clear as day in the surveilance video. What a dumbass

dantheman20192 · 29 October 2009, 08:05 AM

Some people are disgusting.... Work hard and buy one don't snatch/steal one....

Its like replica watches what satisfaction is there in pretending to achieve your goal, i just don't get it.

The man they identified is actually from February's robbery. That suspect is still at large. They still haven't ID'd the recent robber publicly.

Sad world we live in.

icnbne · 29 October 2009, 08:19 AM

what an amateur, he hung around the camera wayyy to long

seriously, what a freaking loser..

cody p · 29 October 2009, 08:25 AM

i'm surprised that they didn't figure out how to not have it happen a second time. i imagine they'll put some measures in place to prevent a 3rd.

DanP · 29 October 2009, 08:29 AM

What a LOSER!!!!!!

meloncap78 · 29 October 2009, 08:30 AM

Unreal.

Nick1959 · 29 October 2009, 08:37 AM

I am surorised they do not have any security measures in place

DanP · 29 October 2009, 08:39 AM

That happened last year at Park Royal mall in West Vancouver
at a Omega dealer. they got caught like 15 mins after. Lets hope this scumbag is on ice now.

Sounds like a job for... Super JJ! Let him man the helm. The Bastid Tossers won't stand a chance!

Juggernaut · 29 October 2009, 09:18 AM

GOTTA have armed security at places like that...

Like asking for a credit card to hold...like the above thread.

sleddog · 29 October 2009, 09:40 AM

If someone wants to steal,they will no matter what!!
Pretty game to do it like that,but stupid and probably in Jail right now!!!!

brietlingman · 29 October 2009, 09:42 AM

"No visible security personnel" seems to be a Mayor's protocol ... I have friends at this store and the one at the Sanford Mall, and except at shows, they never have an armed guard. Strange policy ....

I'm very glad that no one got hurt; insurance will cover the loss (and we the consumer will pay for the insurance ...).

Cheers!
Bill

How the hell did I get dragged into this one?

But, hey, if it's for a good cause, just a second while I don my SuperRolexman outfit!!

jnkay · 29 October 2009, 09:59 AM

Mayors in a mall near me got hit several months ago by armed robbers in broad daylight. they took the entire Rolex inventory. To the best of my knowledge, they were never caught.

Polizeifritz · 29 October 2009, 10:01 AM

That no security policy is silly. If you enter the higher end stores such as the Rolex boutique Royal De Versailles in Toronto, you first have to step into a small mantrap and only once the door behind you closes does the one in front of you open. This is all controlled by a Toronto Police Constable who is inside right in front of the door. If people really want to buy such a watch, they wont mind the security.

1000ftSub · 29 October 2009, 10:18 AM

asshole, go get a job and pay for the watch like everybody else has to.

I know that store! i was in there about 9 months ago.

Latrodectus · 29 October 2009, 10:28 AM

Very sad!

USCpaneristi · 29 October 2009, 10:39 AM

I really surprised a place like this didn't have a security guard in front. Almost every high end jeweler I've ever been to does, even the mall ones.

They'll probably get this guy eventually, since there's so much footage and since there were probably lots of witness. Plus, a guy like that will probably be stupid enough to wear it and brag to all his friends or something. Hope they catch him soon.

ingoodtime · 29 October 2009, 10:52 AM

When I bought my GMT, my AD. they have a big plainclothes guy in a suit not far from the door. He does not take his eye off of you. Of course, it is a smaller place than Mayors and only has one way in or out.

shawnfb · 29 October 2009, 10:56 AM

seriously at least ask for ID before handing over a 30K watch
silly
asking for trouble.. imagine going to a bank and asking if you can see and HOLD $30K??
same difference !
