I hope they catch them soon. I bet they find them before the end of the week. Having been held up twice at gun point, at a high end jewelry store. I can say... I feel for those employees.. You have no idea what will happen to you.. I am glad no one got hurt.

I hope the apprehend them!

Haven''t there have been a number of high-profile jewelry heists in Europe recently?

Ummmm...all I can tell you is that it wasn''t me. I don''t even have a passport.

Seriously, though...very interesting story, and I look forward to reading the follow-up where the thieves are caught. Very sad.

These two men have to be seriously crazy to think they''d ever get away with this. They walked into a high profile store like Graff''s in plain site and there''s pictures of them on the store cameras. What the heck were they thinking? Not exactly two of Billy Ocean''s crew are they.....

Kaleigh, I am so sorry that happened to you twice. It''s so frightening. It happened to me when I worked at a high end retail store when I was in college. Two men walked into the side door of the store with stockings over their faces. One had a gun in his waste band and when I saw that, I just hit the floor, pressed the silent alarm and laid there frozen until they were gone.

They took what they wanted and left.

First, Kaleigh I am so sorry! I would be scared...to death!

Second, these robbers really stupid. I am 99% sure they will be caught...
