thats really good to hear. it must be one of the
safest places in the world to live.

if only that were true of the UK. the police are
being armed with Tasers, a good thing in my opinion, but people are applying to
own them to protect their property. not a good thing. luckily that wont be
happening so they'll just have to use their shotguns kept for killing
vermin(classified as rats, mice, pigeons, rabbits and criminals)
:).

 
how things have changed. when i joined the police
we didnt even get issued handcuffs, we just asked the nice criminal to be good
and not to fight back. now they get big metal sticks, cs spray, handcuffs and
now tasers. i wouldnt trust some of the cops i knew with a tin of
hairspray.

 
the big question about this theft is....in the
current climate is it better for the shareholders to try to sell the watches or
have them 'stolen' and claim on the insurance?

 
i hope they catch whoever did it.

There are quite a few ways this could have taken place and too few details to really comment.... then again there can't be that many viable explanations... ;-) This message has been edited by AFSG on 2008-12-30 04:33:24

Has any of the other major retailers in Singapore been hit by something similar in the past?

even the recent harry Winston theft involved a daylight raid, guns and lots of shouting. can anyone here remember the last overnight/weekend jewellery raid that wasnt an inside job. i cant. the problem is we dont know if a break in occurred or whether key...

is harder than getting your hands on a stainless steel Patek minute repeater thanks to the laws here. And if you do so, the police will be out in their hundreds looking for you. - SJX
