    On Monday 2 bad guys carring AR-15 assult rifles strolled into the Rolex Boutique in the Century City Shopping Mall (a part of Los Angeles) and after popping off a round or two walked out with 1.7M US worth of watches.
    In and out in under 60 seconds. Thank goodness they left the Omega Boutique alone.

    Did shipping watches just come under more scrutiny?

    And for those who don't know, that mall is in a very nice part of LA and per the LA Times is going through an $800 million renovation at the moment. There was a Tourneau store about 100 yards away that sold Omegas but they closed recently.

    I thought Rolex security measures were fool-proof?

    1. glad nobody was hurt
    2. I hope they catch the scumbag thieves, sentence them to long prison terms and force them to wear Hublot when they get out
    3. AR-15's are not "assault rifles" (couldn't help myself there).

    4. Prevent any old Tom, Dick or Harry getting hold of an AR-15 in the first place

    By looks of his left side I think he was having a stroke during that shot.

    #3... Agreed, no more than a knife is an assault knife. Was qouting the term from that bastion of conservatism The LA Times. :D

    The AR-15 is a fine sporting rifle for hunters who prefer to "bracket" their quarry with a fusillade of many rapid-fire shots, rather than by placing a single, accurate kill shot. A machine gun is superior to a civilian-issue AR-15 for this style of hunting, but alas, they've been unavailable to the general public since 1934. :cool:
