Latest Breaking News

"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.)
