Coin and Jewel Theives in Richmond, VA – An Editorial

Richmond Times-Dispatch posted an article today about a jewel robbery at Stony Point Shopping Center in Richmond, Virginia. Apparently there was a jewel dealer/distributor who was visiting Lastovica Jewelers and as he walked out to his car he was approached by two masked men. The men made him lie down on the ground and they took his case, which held about $350,000 worth of jewelry. Now that there many companies advertising that you can use online services to sell jewelry, I guess it seemed like a good idea to the thieves.
RTD also tells us that there has not been a similar jewel heist (I love the word heist) since 2005.
Funny, though, because just two days ago (on October 14th, 2009) they posted a short blurb about the fact that Modern Coin (212 E. Grace Street) was robbed at gunpoint. They were both masked too. Are they the same guys? Maybe. Either way, these guys must have heard that not only can you sell old jewelry online, you can also sell old coins. Just another example of the fact that TV influences you to do bad things. Just kidding. Stealing is wrong, OK?
Now that I’ve done my public service along with my linking to all places linkable, I thought I’d take this opportunity (read: abuse my authority) to make a little comment about the comments on said blurb’s page on the Times-Dispatch site…
PEOPLE. Come on! What would the neighbors (like DC and Hampton?) think? Well, I guess we really don’t care what they think. But why use a public forum to snipe at each other and bring each other down? Do that here instead! I need the traffic…
