Shocking video captures the moment a burglar used a hammer to smash the display window of a Manhattan auction house – before he and an accomplice ripped off more than $200,000 worth of Hermès bags from inside, authorities said.

The clip, released early Wednesday, shows a white Acura sedan pulling up in front of Heritage Auctions on Park Avenue near East 57th Street in Midtown around 3:50 a.m. March 7.

Three men get out – two of whom are toting hammers.

That’s if the police even bother to identify and arrest the criminals.

By my calculation then the bags are priced at $30k each? Seriously? Who would pay that for a purse?

Why is it shocking? There is no punishment.

And the store is practically all glass making their job easier.

Given the political landscape, it is the opposite of shocking.

I counted him taking 5 handbags from the display case. The article said they were valued at $242K

$48K per bag. Really???

They must have been messenger bags.

“two of whom are toting hammers.”

We need Hammer control.

IF we had more laws to restrict the use of Hammers to nail pounding only, we would not have these problems.

That DA’s office is a little busy right now to worry about crimes like this.

How racist, of this auction house, to put these spendy handbags BEHIND a storefront display!!

Like Celine says…”Let them touch these (nice) things!”

Just set them out, on the filthy, urine/feces soaked NYC sidewalk, for whoever needs a Mayor Adams reparation.

🙃

“more than $200,000 worth of Hermès bags from inside,”

What kind of bags ARE these? Were they actually used by Hermes back 2500 years ago?

In 1968 my folks bought 16 acres and built a 4 bedroom, brick home, in the country, southwest PA.

Total cost: $32,000.
