Smash and grabs and thefts are on the rise, especially during the holiday season.

In Chicago, a duo got away with more than $1 million in watches from a car dealership that also displays luxury watches. In a video captured of the moment, one of the guys stands on guard as the other smashes the case and grabs the watches. It all happened in under 20 seconds. 

Regular theft is on the rise as well as Christmas decorations are being stolen directly from people’s front yards, specifically inflatables. Richard Anderson told Inside Edition that he had two of them taken from his home in Houston, one of them being a blowup of Olaf from the movie “Frozen.”

“I don’t understand why anyone would steal them,” Anderson said. “I think they were $30. I mean what could used Christmas decorations go for these days?”

Officer Ryan Railsback of the Riverside Police in California said for many people it’s not just the theft, it’s the threat of invasion that people feel they’ve had on their home. Railsback recommended people install motion detection lights on their property.

“When they are coming up to a piece of property and all of a sudden several lights start shining on them, that could make them think twice about what they are going to do,” he said.

He also suggested securing decorations with cables or wires to make it harder for people to steal them.

  1. Why is it that the majority of all crime is committed by either the leadership or supporters of
    one particular party… Communists (DemocRATs)?

    Why is it that when you speak about election fraud you are almost always talking about one particular party… Communists (DemocRATs)?

    Why is it that when you speak about waste and fraud you are almost always talking about one particular party… Communists (DemocRATs)?

    Why is it that when you speak about sexual predators you are almost always talking about one particular party… Communists (DemocRATs)?

    Why is it that when you speak about terrorists you are almost always talking about one particular party… Communists (DemocRATs)?

    Kinda gives you the sense of a strong relationship between being a Communist (DemocRAT) and just pure evil.

  3. Carry a gun 24/7 because this corrupt government created this Arena kill anyone then claim you’re the victim, the Socialist morons only punishes innocent citizens, if have to kill a entitlement Thug in order to save my own life, because decent citizens have no protection from a corrupt Judicial System, & corrupt fascist cops who only protect the guilty cuz they’re afraid of being sued, I would put the thug in his grave as long as I have to shoot one and go to jail unjustly for exercising my constitutional rights, I might as well empty my clip on the rest of the entitled Thug monkeys and call it good ,you’ll get less time for the more you kill according to this mentally ill demaRAT corrupt black entitlement justice system.

  4. This is what happens when commiecrats are put in positions of power. And they’ll defend their black criminal thug base because that’s where a high percentage of their votes come from. As for the big corporations who supported BLM, Antifa and Biden and his flunkies against President Trump, they’re getting exactly what they deserve. Unfortunately, it also means higher prices for law abiding consumers.
