should have more secure means of protecting their ware. I'm surprised that insurance carriers don't insist that these items aren't locked in a safe in a locked room at the end of a business day.

I would imagine that every Rolex has their serial number recorded.
Which means you can't sell them for anywhere near their value and their resale value after that would be limited also.
These might have to be shipped out of the country.
The metals and diamonds might be easier to unload.

NOTHING is more over valued than jewelry especially diamonds. Gold is the ONLY jewelry with actual real value
But we keep falling for it year after year. Guys with their ridiculous watches & women with their diamonds.
De Beers started the diamond con 100 yrs ago & women have fallen for it ever since!

But as Thorstein Veblen pointed out in his "Theory of the Leisure Class" over a hundred years ago that's why the rich buy crap. They do it to flaunt their wealth by showing they can pay a lot for worthless things while the rest of us are scrambling for the necessities

I read it in college and it was difficult to read but the teacher gave us chapters to read and then we discussed it the next class. I still have that book!

But it is so true today and the orange pedo felon really does emulate the flaunting of wealth and gaudiest gold he uses decorating the White House with. While cutting food and other programs for working poor Americans

They're only bought so friends think "wow he must really be doing well!"
Meanwhile I drive a 2005 Grand Caravan with faded paint & a bashed in rear. I can certainly afford whatever I want. But I dont play the game.

Diamonds are a major scam.

Trump and his CABAL will use to install military in Seattle, just like in DC.............

"Straight Time," that shows how this could be done. First, you case the joint to find out which display cases have the most expensive stuff. Later, you come back with work gloves, eye protection, a heavy jacket, a large bag across your shoulder and a hammer. The getaway driver is parked out back (the job requires a jeweler with a back door to an alley).

You go in with an armed partner, smash the display case glass with the hammer, grab all the stuff you can and put it in the bag, then exit through the rear to the getaway car. Two minutes, total, unless you get greedy (or the glass is reinforced, and it probably would be).

It looked pretty easy in the movie, anyway...

(Oh -- it co-stars Theresa Russell, one of the most naturally beautiful women I've ever seen, as Hoffman's girlfriend / partner in crime.)
