I’m sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.
There are too many of them and they aren’t afraid of having to go to jail.
Have friend who has a Rolex. I have a timex triathlon which cost $29. Both tell the same time. Mine can go down 100 meters. It lights up. Has alarms. If I lose it I’m out $29 and it most likely doesn’t make me a target like the Rolex. Of course mine doesn’t appreciate it value.
Maybe he left it in the car for an insurance payoff..What robber will go public that what he stole was garbage....He ends up in jail for theft, no matter how little they cost
I looked it up after I posted. It was Best Products in my area.

Exactly. People who spend exorbitant amounts on watches (or anything else, for that matter) should see what that extra money could do helping the poor, etc.
“As you do unto the least of these, so you do unto me.”
Could be a dealership filling in insurance add ons to tide them over during the sag in sales.
They call them the rappers, you know what they're after.
Seth Rogen assures me that stuff like that happens all the time in the city, and that people should stop complaining about it.
Apparently some of the Office Depots where I am are using a modified version of that business model due to theft.
I went in looking for a laptop and the laptop isle was empty. I asked a clerk what was up and he said due to theft we keep all laptops and PCs in the back.
They would just walk in in broad daylight and run out with the merch.
SMH
Yeah I never got the whole big expensive watch thing....I’m a Timex man myself.
I have a Rolex but it was my dad’s and got passed to me when he died.
It’s so old (circa 1969) and out of date it’s actually looks like a women’s watch. Lol
Consumers Distributing
The car wasn’t registered to Jussie Smollett was it? I understand he needs some cash to pay court costs and a fine from Chicago.
Worth millions?? Eight watches worth millions. To who? What a fu##ed up world we live in.
It’s from a dealer and they ain’t Rolexes...They ran off with the Richard Mille timepieces, some of which retailed at millions of dollars each.
The total value of the watches and exact models have not been shared, although the timepieces have been likened to supercars because of the level of engineering required to produce them.
Says in the story the guards chased after them and would have shot them if the thieves would have raised their guns.
Not sure why they weren’t shot in the store.
Worth Millions... No.
Priced at that amount maybe, but actual cost of parts, labor, distribution, under a thousand each.
Watches are a pain. I wouldn’t pay a dime for any one of them.

I haven’t owned a watch in many years. With a cell phone you
have the time.
Someone will buy them for pennies on the dollar to a fence who will sell them to some rich drug dealer or oil sheik.
Ive got a nice (to me) Seiko self winding dive watch that Ive actually took diving back last century. Got it at the PX. I pick it up and shake it every now and then and it takes right off running. Nice watch.
Havent wore it since the internet came along and now I have an atomic clock in my pocket.
The demographic will most likely be caught when posting photos of them wearing the watches on Facebook
