Vaults can help with burglaries, but a robbery is quite different. When someone puts a gun to your head...

I heard the news last night about 5 minutes after it happened. It was the Bala Cynwald location.

I guess these watches can be easily traced back to Goveberg once they get serviced..... right?

Was it an actual robbery, or a burglary? As pointed out, the words don't mean the same thing, although sometimes they get used interchangeably.

What I meant was that it could possibly lead to the person who burglarized the place. Not actually getting back all the watches.

Maybe it was the dude from the Holiday rap video?? If he shows up rapping online wearing a blinged out 'DeepSea Submariner' then we know who it is.

Not sure why it matters to you if it was a robbery, theft, or burglary but here are the differences:

Someone comes in with a gun and says 'give me all your watches' that's a robbery.
Someone comes in during the middle of the night mission impossible style and blows up the vault and takes all the watches, that's a burglary.
Someone walks in and asks to try on a Super Avenger and walks out with it, that's an idiot. I mean a theft.

Better a burglary, then -- no lives at risk.
