jaapv Posted April 10, 2013 Share #2 Posted April 10, 2013 Time to invest in some extra security, I should think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted April 10, 2013 Share #3 Posted April 10, 2013 That would explain why the shop was closed on Monday when I had to visit the client care café opposite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Albertson Posted April 11, 2013 Share #4 Posted April 11, 2013 It's a dodgy neighborhood. Probably the work of that crew of hedge fund traders that hang at the Rolls-Royce dealership around the corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobey bilek Posted April 11, 2013 Share #8 Posted April 11, 2013 The local Calumet was broken into a year back and so was my favorite brick and mortar photoshop. The B&M was built as either a jewelry or photo store because they have a hugh walk in safe protected by a door that looks like a bank safe door. It has been a photo store since the early 1960`s under various owners. The good stuff goes into the safe at night and the pro equipment is only brought out to show. Used equipment and P&S cameras stay in the cases over night. The windows have now been replaced with unbreakable glass. Citi Bank local suffered a robbery in daylight two days ago. Times are desperate. Only the drug dealers are doing well and the really wealthy who are moving their money into tax havens like the Cook Islands, Camen Islands, Crete, and a few other places where money can be secreted away. Mind you this is not illegal so long as you pay appropriate taxes and report it is there. Most do not. This hit the news last week, 4/1/13, and there has been nary a word in the main stream media. The investigative reporters claim as much as 20 trillion stashed, that is with a T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjames9142 Posted April 13, 2013 Share #9 Posted April 13, 2013 Tobey, The CBC had an expose here of a politically connected rich guy who had stashed a lot away in the Cook islands. Some investigative group posted the names, but you are right, there is not much in the mainstream press, and in Canada the government is cutting back on tax inspectors and telling the others to go after the low=hanging fruit like small-time building tradesmen. Christine Lagarde released a similar list before she took over the IMF, and the Greek journalist who published the names was prosecuted for breach of privacy. He was acquitted and is now being re-charged. Go figure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomv Posted April 14, 2013 Share #10 Posted April 14, 2013 I would not be surprised if the originator of this theft is actually on this (S) forum, these camera's are probably very difficult to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Lemon Posted April 17, 2013 Share #11 Posted April 17, 2013 I find this amazing surely, after the last break in, they place the S2's and other high value items in a safe overnight (that is assuming a safe was not cracked open). Bet the insurance premiums will be a tad higher next year than last and the cost trickled down to us - the customers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
