Crooks wait for you outside a jewelry store

In the new updated version of "jugging", don't rob the armed and/or guarded jewelry store, rob the customers after they come out.

An interesting twist. I hope they get caught real soon.

Was this a 30.06 jewelry store? A lot of them seem to be.

Not the best area of Houston. Lots of "import" shops and bargain shops. This was no regular jewelry store.

From the story I assumed it was a "normal" jewelry store, but the video shows different.
I've heard of that area, but have never been there. For sure I won't go there now. :thumbs2:

Hey, I like it. I think it is up to around 2 miles of cheapy stores along Harwin. My favorite is the giant tool store. Chinese paradise.

Last time I was in Dallas it looked like they were catching up with their Harry Hines strip.
You may have the last word.

I think a guy at work was telling me that it was a good place to buy cheap phone cases, chargers, cables, etc.

I don't live close to this area so it doesn't make too much sense to spend 3 hours to drive 90 miles and use $10 worth of gas to buy $20 worth of trinkets. ;-)

Neighbor of mine chimed in, said he works in a jewelry store, and has heard many stories of people being tailed upon leaving such businesses

Many years ago it was the place to get counterfeit YSL purses. Raids put a damper on that.

It makes more sense to rob someone who has money and/or jewelry on their person.
Situational awareness is paramount.

Robbing someone leaving the store, what will they think of next?

LOL. I would think the jewelry coming out of a Harwin store would turn your skin green. They're robbing people of their hard-earned $9.99 jewelry.
