The actual good stuff was in the safe

hard to believe that 500,000 worth of jewels were accessible through $30 sledge hummer.

​

Though I have to admit, the guy knows how to use it.

In before insurance will cover it, victimless crime, etc.

I’m honestly surprised the security wasn’t better for such a high end store. I’m also baffled that there were still items left out and not in a safe.

Could be. But smash and grabs have become increasingly common over the past couple of years.

Also everyone that says “insurance will cover it” and thinks it’s so easy to get compensated for theft, hasn’t dealt with an insurance company.

Jewels are valuable because people are vapid. Jewel thieves are literally the least bad kind of thief there is.

A store like this exists because somebody wants to show off how rich they are by wearing something useless that's worth more than a college education. The industry creates small easily fungible things based on nothing but hype, and thus creates a strong motivation for thieves to target them, based on nothing but hype. Minimal sympathy here as long as nobody got hurt.

won't somebody think of the small independent jewelry store owners in an area that charges $80-100 rent per square foot for office space and with a 6,800 per square foot average condo sales price

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.

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.

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.

What you're actually seeing is not a sledgehammer hitting glass, but a US made ballistic missle. Also, you can tell from the way these guys move that they were most likely trained by Mossad. 🤓

I am curious too, but usually jewelry store robberies are done by robbers who already have a customer for it. Unless they are robbing for themselves which would be the most idiotic plan ever. So the particular person this group is doing this for will do what he does best with it in order to cover the trail, most likely they will melt it down, ship it overseas and sell it to someone who can create fake certificates for each jewel he will in turn make out of the melt.

way way too many people are really proud of the rocks they got their fiance or wife, and anything critical anyone ever says about rocks makes them freak out. In person they'll just be pissy as hell until you change the subject. try it sometime if you're feeling masochistic.

YES! We should designate a special section of the NYC police force to initiate this lockdown....we can even give them special brown uniforms so that you know "these are people I need to obey"

​

We can call them something like.... "Special Saftey" policemen, or something along those lines....maybe just abbreviate it to SS?

First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

Then they came for the trade unionists

Dramatic af. Attempting to innovate an ineffective police department is not the equivalent of the SS. Of course it will never happen as the department has no incentive to innovate.
