I was just surfing through the news and realized there was quite an interesting story close to home. Last night there was a real jewelry heist right here in Kobe, Japan!!! It happened at Daimaru Department Store in Motomachi.
Thieves get away with Y40 mil worth of Rolex watches in Kobe
KOBE —
Sixty Rolex watches, worth approximately 40 million yen in total, were stolen from the Daimaru department store in Kobe City on Tuesday, police said. A store employee discovered a smashed showcase in the watches section of the eighth floor when he came to work just after 9 a.m., and called police.
According to Ikuta police, there was a hole in the wall of the eighth floor, leading to an emergency passageway and fire escape. A crowbar and rope were found on the scene. See original at Japan Today...
In case you`re wondering, 40 million Yen is equivalent to about $500,000U.S. Dollars!
This is all very Thomas Crown Affair!
