we just saw on Friday how wonderful the lenient gun control laws in the US are.
what a great idea to have a gun fight on one of the busiest squares in Europe,
hundreds of Christmas shoppers turning from watchers to victims.

Actually, we saw gun control; schools are designated "gun-free zones" in most states. And I didn't see anyone suggesting a gunfight in a square, or the firing of "hundreds" of rounds of ammunition. Do we really want to have a discussion of gun control, which never goes anywhere, or changes anyone's mind?

Glad everyone is ok, that is the most important thing by far of course, but sorry to hear about the damage to your business and your stock. Hope it's all fixed up soon.

If they would only designate Jewelery Stores and Banks as "no-rob zones", we might have this thing licked. :wink:

I just had a visit from my hero (the guy, who retrieved the merchandise).
He is the most modest man I have ever met. We had a really tough time to force him to accept a reward.
When I offered him a watch, he showed me the Citizen watch he has bought from us a while ago and said, that he would not need anything like that. We have stopped selling Citizen before 2000....

Glad to hear that it's working out Thomas, and really nice to hear that there are still some genuine people left!

Thank you so much for posting this. The almost endless fraudulent listings and other examples of lack of integrity can be really discouraging. This made my day as it's nice to know people like this still exist. :mrgreen:

Buy him a beer and spend a little time. He sounds like the kind of guy who would appreciate a gesture that comes from the heart.
