It just seems just a few weeks ago when Mario told us about he had uninvited visitors in his workplace / shop.
Yesterday morning I had thieves in my shop. They forced the rolling shutter on the front door, broke the window in the front door and so came into my shop.
They broke all the windows of my jewellery showcases and took whatever they could.
Probably they only needed 3 minutes.
Most of my gold jewellery is in the safe, the Titanium however they were in the showcases.
I thought it would not be attractive to thieves, as the material in fact has no value.
But the thieves probably didn’t know that and took most of it, dropping some on the ground between the broken glasses.
I worked in my shop till 1 PM, so I think never the less this is quite frustrating having thieve visitors, I’m lucky that they didn’t visit me earlier while I was at work.
The loss is about 10.000 euro and 15.000 euro.
Sure now I’m in the newspaper on the front-page, which is good publicity. I filled my showcases with all the broken glass adding a printed paper telling what happened.
This will be my window for the holidays to come.
I already have some new orders as I receive people’s sympathy and compassion.
Here is a list of what is stolen; yes also the Titanium wedding rings with the text on the outside. I have to make those again as the wedding will be this month.
I think these rings have only value for the client and myself for the fine work, anyway the thieves took them and probably will throw them away.
Quite frustrating that is, especially because most of these are exclusive hand made jewellery.
