    You would THINK, that by NOW, in the year 2024,….. that jewelry stores would have gotten wise to the smash/grab thefts, and installed theft/damage-proof display cases.

    Stores like check cashing places have bullet-proof windows to protect employees.

    As for those hideously expensive Rolex watches – I think their stupid crap.
    I don’t need something so idiotic on my wrist to brag to others about.
    Nor do I have to pet my own ego with that crap.
    My $11 Kmart watch tells the same time as those things.

    Of course it was for the Rolex watches – uh, I mean Rollies of course. That’s what they call them, right? “I just want a Rollie, Rollie, Rollie with a dab of ranch” “I already ‘stole’ some designer to hold up my pants”

    They’ll be back next week to pick up the Gucci belts.
