As crimes go... Lots of money in a casino, but JCPenny is where you should go apparently.

Quote:

Metro police have released photos of two suspects in connection with a burglary at the Boulevard Mall JCPenney at 3545 South Maryland Parkway.

On July 27, at 8:20 p.m., two men hid in the backroom area of the store before the store closed for the day. After it closed, the men preceeded to the jewelry area where they smashed several display cases and took approximately $160,000 in miscellaneous necklaces, watches and bracelets. They then smashed out an exterior door and ran into a neighboring residential area.

There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

What they don't mention is the 160K in jewelry has an actual value of about 16K. The junk in places like Penny's has been marked up about 1000%, so when they have a 75% off sale, they can still make money on it. If they can find somebody stupid enough to give them 5K for all of, they should take it and run.

I think they deserve some credit for planning and executing a successful robbery. However, they should have known there would be security cameras. I would have not let them get a clean picture of my face. Agreed, they will not be able to fence that junky jewelry for much.
