With increased local armed robberies, I’m no longer wearing Rolexes

Unfortunately, this seems to be a growing problem in NYC as well. Multiple instances of people being robbed for their watches INSIDE upscale restaurants. These robbers are getting bold!

Good thing I wear entry level watches such as Omega. 😉

I saw this morning some people were sitting outside at a restaurant in NYC and the robbers came right up to their table and got their watches.

Surprised the robbers didn’t demand the sublet on their rent-controlled apartment, worth far more than a watch in NYC.

If like the UK, they are using scouts to tip off the thieves.

Always be leery of little buggers flashing gang signs like that...

Be wary of scouts with a moped badge

If they collect 15 of them by muggings they can get on the waiting list for a sport model

Sure but as was said it’s all relative. Growing up within a few minutes of Midway Airport and well before Obama was president, none of those regions mentioned are the more pedestrian areas of the city. Even the more affluent areas of Chicago are being affected. Ask many native Chicagoland families why they moved out of the city and into its suburbs and you’ll likely get similar answers. Are you as comfortable wearing your Rolex now wherever in the city compared to 20 yrs ago? If you are then I suspect you’re in the minority.

This is very true. Michigan Ave and the Gold Coast are significantly less safe than before. Prior the greatest danger was a blue hair losing control of their car and a pedestrian gets hurt. Now there is the possibility of person on person physical violence.

He took her home, in 2013. Damn time flies! I remember half of Britain singing: "ding dong the witch is dead".
