  1. Cops need to run a sting for Rolex thieves, then identify the ringleaders. Prosecutors need to put them away for a long time. One person has already been murdered by Rolex thieves. There will be other deaths if the ringleaders are not put out of business.

    • In California, one must take responsibility for ones own safety. Please don’t count on local prosecutors or the judicial system.

  2. I’m not very familiar with that area, but looking at my map’s streetview, it does not look to me like Rolex territory.

      • Many in challenged neighborhoods sport Rolex’s, their enterprises just happen to not be reported to the IRS or other taxing authorities.

      • OK, in the interest of saying something pithy about the relationship between household budget items and wealth, I did a bunch of research but did not come to the conclusion I was hoping. Apparently, Rolex owners cut across all income levels and demographics and are based a lot on taste and lifestyle. My wallet appreciates my lack of taste.
