Strolling Stones

The Carat And Stick Approach

It's not every day a London jeweller gets robbed by somone who rocks up in a Bentley. Two thieves stepped out of a Bentley Continental Flying Spur and into Graff jewellers. They pretended to be customers before brandishing handguns and stealing diamonds and precious stone-studded rings, necklaces, pendants and earrings. The pair escaped on foot with about 10 million pounds' worth of diamonds and gems, including a necklace weighing more than 155 carats which alone was worth more than a million pounds.

FOOTNOTE: High Spur count.

And none of that can buy them love or genuine affection.

Hi Craver,

Could not agree with you more. They've got lots of sparkle, but no class.

Keep smiling

Ah well, that's hubby off the hook for my anniversary suggestion, then. Guess it's the old Chanel No.5 again..

Yea, but they can keep them in blow and ammo for a while. Thing is, they probably sold it all for a fraction of the value, and then someone else will profit. Glad nobody was killed.

Was it a STOLEN Bentley? Perhaps ill-gotten, nevertheless....
