A natural outcome of the Defund the Police movement in the US. As the article states low, or no, bail for these crooks means they are quickly back out on the streets to continue the mayhem. It's a low risk, high reward, activity now in many cities.
See that is just nasty I have fought off a robbery. It was just one guy almost as soon as I fought back he backed off. If three people try to rob me I’d hope the give me the opportunity to just give up the goods. I’m all for a fair fight but if you got a group don’t just starting beating people that’s horrible.
It happened when he got in the car, one on the driver side outside the car, one on the passagers seat and one behind im choking him… and ma man didnt let the watch go!!!
fight back guys… unless there is a gun
Where the hell does everyone wear their watches these days with all of this crime and uncertainty going on that everyone is pointing out!?
Im definitely buying more Seikos for when i visit Europe and the US from now on.
Where are you currently living?
If I'm going somewhere I'm familiar with, or am out during the day I'll wear it. Things change a bit for me if I'm going out in the evening. That being said, brazen crimes like carjackings have been happening frequently all over Chicago and have been creeping into neighborhoods that used to be free of that nonsense.
Actual crime statistics of the 70’s through late 90’s: worst in U.S. history
People today who grew up in the 70’s through late 90’s: “growing up was so amazing, before all this crazy stuff - I used to hitchhike to concerts, now I never leave the house”
I avoid places that aren’t comparatively safe - and/or where you’re not allowed to defend yourself.
Dubai, so maybe im leading a sheltered life since i left the UK 12 years ago. I used to live in the midlands not far from Birmingham but never had anyone threaten me for my Seamaster when i lived in the UK..... maybe there is a reason for that 😁
Never ever felt threatened in Dubai since i expanded my watch collection to encompass a number of other watches. On the one hand i guess a $10k watch does not stand out here, even so ive never heard of anyone being forcefully robbed for a watch of any value here. I guess thats why im finding all these tales of Jeopardy interesting / worrying as i do take my watches on vacations with me around the world.
People are stupid. Bragging online. Show off. Robbers are stupid too. Richard Mille stolen ? Hard to sell. Oh Dear .....
How could this armed robbery occur in London? Guns aren't allowed there, even the Bobbies don't carry I hear.
