It's a dirty shame and he couldn't even arm himself if he wanted too.

Unreal, eh?

It's obvious that this guy has been under these guys radar for a while. Young wife sporting nice and flashy jewels,nice home,nice watch and nice car I assume. That's why I love keeping a low profile. My car does not match my status and my wife have some very nice jewels that never left the safe once I bought them for her. Still....it's a sad thing not being able to enjoy it's possessions without fear of being mugged. It's not big deal to me,but I understand it may be for many.

If anyone has any faith left in humanity please let me know.
What a horrible crime. With a helpless infant right there. Maybe I'm paranoid here, but I grew up in some very rough areas. I do not open my door, until I verify who it is. Every time too. We have had a lot of home invasions here in my area in the last year. They may well get in anyway, but Im not going to let them in. The three that did this should be killed. They are worthless and disgusting excuses for human beings. Forgive my strong language but things like this make me sick to my stomach for the victims and their poor families. I will be even money, that they three that did this have extensive criminal records and should not have been on the street in the first place. Call me crazy, but as I type this my .45 automatic sits on my desk next to me. Things like this make me very happy to be an honest and armed citizen. All politics and feelings aside, had that man been armed this would have had a very different outcome. Im truly sickened for what the world is coming to. That poor man is going to be disfigured for life. |

I had a freind (now deceased from pancreatic cancer) that had a safe in his house with about 23 handguns and some rifles. He always wore a handgun in a holster while in his house. I keep arms handy just in case and believe the world would be a better place if everyone owned and carried weapons. Only the insane would then attempt to harm others, particularly in public places as they would be gunned down by others. While you can't be on guard every momnet, it helps to try and stay focussed to be on the alret for the unknown!

And that is why we should shy away from making such comments. As I recall, gun debates aren't welcome around here. |

watches and money come and go. I feel bad for HIM, his face. They did a real number on him. Hopefully he can have it corrected and restored.

thumbs down for even posting this crap! it's just negative garbage that really has very little to do with rolex - other than a tawdry headline designed to grab reader's morbid attention!

Lets remind ourselves that these sorts of crime are very rare and that most people go through this journey of life with a smile and a warm handshake. |

Its too bad that in England people don't have the right to protect themselves with firearms. Have I ever showed you a picture of my computer room? Thats a plaque of the Ten Commandments on the back wall which very clearly states you should not steal.
