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

I know the differences, which is why I was asking. For one, as Wrangler pointed out, if it was a burglary, then presumably no sales associate had his or her life threatened during the course of the theft. I still sympathize with Govberg for the loss of their inventory, but I would be sympathizing much more if people were threatened with bodily injury and were put in fear for their lives. Also, Cali Kid asked about vaults, which would be a moot point if it was an armed robbery during business hours. Since it was a burglary (again, presumably) after business hours, that does raise the question, are vaults of no use? Do the burglars just bust into them?

That is a shame. The Bala store is where I purchased my SO back in December. Very nice people to deal with. At least nobody was hurt.

15 million at retail, not just watches, they took the entire inventory over a weekend about a year ago, got one guy, he has a trial coming up. they took, the scrap, the repairs, even the broken stuff. EVERYTHING. they got in the vault.

Was the recovery of these 2 watches a result of the capture of the one culprit? Did they get any leads on the others involved from the one they caught?

i found the 2, they were win a pawn shop actually. the guy they got isn't talking, he will get deported when he gets out of jail, and i think jail is a better option for him, so he won't talk.

That is what happens when gangsters use "justice" at their advantage.

Haven't been on here much, seen the post, did a quick search and found this. I guess they think this robbery is connected.

I wonder what would have happened if 3 police cruisers rolled in while it was in progress. Sometimes it's probably better they get away, at least from the scene of the crime.
