Jacking Shit Is The New Black

Filed under: Etc.

First, the gay porn twin robbers.

Now….

The showroom of famed Italian jewelry makers Giorgio and Silvia Damiani was robbed in an elaborate heist on Sunday.

It is estimated that the thieves took off with about $20-30 million in jewels!!!!!!

The robbers got into the showroom by digging an underground tunnel from the building next door, which took months to dig up.

Neighbors nearby had reported hearing noises, usually late at night or some times in the early morning. Dressed up and pretending to be policemen who wanted to examine the reports of noise, the burglars got into the showroom unarmed and proceeded to tie up staff members and rob the store.

They're getting so creative, these crooks!

The store owenrs, which were in Los Angeles this past weekend, said "the value of the jewels stolen … has not been yet quantified precisely but is totally covered by the insurance policies stipulated by Damiani Spa with the primary insurance Groups Allianz and Lloyd's of London."

Think we should check Ebay to find out if any cheap Damiani jewels are up for sale???

How the heck would they really be able to sell off those pieces????

      How do you sell stolen jewelry? Obviously not on ebay, but it is easy: If you're a jeweler, you simply re-mount the gems you've stolen and sell them either on the black market or to naive wholesalers. Now don't get any ideas…End of subject…

      They have already got those pieces dismantled, the stones out and the metal melted down. They'll be sold on the black market, under the table, to some big time Jewish jewel broker who will create new pieces and sell them to the public.

    48. sanazk says – reply to this


      48

      They don't have to SELL the pieces as is -
      they can MELT the GOLD, take out the STONES
      which cost the MOST — and resell just like that.
      Something very similar happened to my father's
      jewelry business some 25 years ago, but they took
      $10 MILLION DOLLARS worth of goods from us,
      back then which would be close to $200 Million for
      2day's equivalent — so for DAMIANI 20-30 MIL
      is not THAT big of a loss.

      ok, wait. did they get in through a tunnel, or did they get in by dressing up at cops? and what were the "noises" people were hearing? this reporting is poor and makes no sense. stop trying to summarize news and just put a link, i like that much better.

    51. Hyde says – reply to this


      51

      They won't sell the pieces themselves. They'll remove the stones and melt down the gold, which is at an insanely high price of around $959 per ounce and climbing.

      Just a heads up - It's not Damiani Spa. It's Damiani S.p.A., the Italian equivalent of "Inc." Just means it's a publicly traded company. Now if there was a Damiani Spa, that would be fierce…

      They prob did it (hired perps to do it) so they get the insurance money and can keep the jewels - total movie in the making!

      Much like the blogs of drunken celebrities with grammatical errors, spelling errors and just plain idiocracy in their ramblings, this entry shows either an impaired writer or an inadequate education…………… hummmm. which is it? Practice what you preach. It does come back to bite you in the butt….. when you make fun of others for their mistakes and yet you do the same. The errors would have been easily edited, if in fact, they were edited………. Just keep it real, Perez.

      People are getting more creative with how they steal things now, I believe, thanks to movies and TV shows. Movies like Oceans 11,12,13, or the Italian Job show several examples- shows such as CSI- they just get people thinking.
