Reply to comment by CarbonPrevails in Thieves run off with over half million worth of jewels in Manhattan smash-and-grab by CommonsCarnival

I worked for a facade consultant. There are various types of glass makeups that are used to prevent smash-and-grab, ballistics, and so on. If someone smashed the front window with a sledgehammer and got through it, then the store did not make an effort to prevent it. It is relatively easy, and not as expensive as one might think, to install glass that will resist a sledgehammer.

Either incompetence or intentional.

An inside job, you say? The plot thickens...

If it wasn't trivial to protect against this we would see it every day at every jewelry store. Smash glass, grab jewels and jump in a car with fake paper plates or a dirtbike.

Dirtbike you say? No way man, I heard that Adam's is cracking down on them. 🧐

Yeah, the thieves seemed like they knew it would break and seemingly knew exactly where to look for the goodies too. I wouldn't be surprised to see Clive Owen waltz out in a few days in an Armani suit.
