“Is there any moral culpability here? if a commercial jewelry business with disgustingly high profit margins doesn't trouble to protect its transit storage facility adequately and those who want their stuff go to some trouble to avoid detection then who has any right to complain?”

“Too classy for Plymouth surely? Was there not any CCTV....Am I right in thinking this happened in the middle of the City Centre, or in Devonport?”

“I love it when plod issue descriptions in their inimitable officious style and then get things wrong!
DC Newton - I think you will find the Rolex watch is a submariner, not a watch below a boat park or under a rather poor 1970s British Leyland car!”

“Sounds a bit odd to me, at that time on a Saturday morning there are usually plenty of people milling around”
