I've been to that store many times and I know a couple of the sales people a bit. Horrible thing to happen. These thieves have some cojones, this mall is 400 yards away from the Pentagon and there are several other Federal buildings in the area, so there is lots of law enforcement around. The upside is that it is close to several large highways, bridges over to DC etc, so there is plenty of ways to get out of there fast with a car.

Let's hope they catch these guys. Too close to home for comfort.

Hmmm. There is usually a guard and that day there wasn't? No employees on sales floor because of meeting in the back room? This sounds like an inside job to me.

Just a thought... With all the serial numbers being registered with rolex, these guys are going to have a tough time unloading any of these, unless the buyer doesn't care about running the serial number, no?
