Five guys do this crime while the store alarm siren is blasting and video cameras recording them all on on a busy street.
In the video, the get away car is playing Elton John's "How Wonderful Life is." (What's up with that?)

Those bastards!
Drug addiction is expensive. They will get caught, recovering the loot may be more difficult.
I visited the store many times. Damn those bastards.

What's black and brown and looks good on a thief?
A doberman.
I think @BruceS gave my post a 'disagree' because he saw the frown icon and assumed it was the same a 'mad' icon.
Bruce it would be nice if you retracted your 'disagree' icon pick as it really isn't that you disagree with me.....that is I hope so.
I know I use that 'mad' icon on FB quite a bit.
It's too bad it is against the law to booby trap your business with intent to do harm.

Not disagreeing @goldbully, just fat fingers fumbling on a phone screen when scrolling, I'm sure it happens more than we realize. I removed it.
Hope they catch these low life's.

Slap on the wrist. Watched the news last night as a woman who murdered her husband by running over him several times walked out of prison after serving 15 years! WTF? Someone can do murder and only get 15 years, these guys would get maybe 2 years. The laws for serious crime are way too soft.

I wonder what their Ebay IDs are
Awww, geeez !!!
With that resolution, why bother having a security camera?
LOL, you are worried about someone disagreeing with something you post? A bit of friendly advice, don't get on the bad side of that Arizona coin nut job then. lol
I hope they catch these scum bags too. Interesting that a few here have replied and assumed they were drug addicts. Was that simply determined by the colour of their skin?

Wooooha! Did someone just say it's officially "TACO™" Tuesday????
That was a well executed burglary.... planned to some extent. If they are targeting coin/jewelry businesses as indicated, this is a huge wake up call. Watch for individuals casing your premises, harden your security - you can always make improvements. Investigation should be looking for how they are disposing of the products. Cheers, RickO
All the above and wait.....don't give your physical address to receive your contest prize

Right behind you.

I wonder if the thieves get angry when they see the news story break and realize they just sold off $35K worth of coins for a few hundred dollars.
However these guys I would assume were paid to do this.
all around collector of many fine things
DARE - drugs are really expensive. nothing a good long jail sentence might help. fwiw
Got ebucks to burn?
Not yet, still negative.
I thought they fixed that. Ouch.
Just watched the video (cellular phone wouldn't play it) . Interesting how they don't react to the loud alarm, almost like they know the police aren't coming.

Serious questions ...
It seems that so many videos of criminals are such poor quality that clear identification would appear to be very difficult. Now the question ... are quality cameras prohibitively expensive? Is the poor image a result of 'reused' VHS tapes?

I think this might answer your question>
When I had my security system installed by ADT...I had a salesman that didn't know what he was doing. I wanted the good cameras...and they are good...can catch a pimple on your nose and show the puss oozing out LOL! We went back and forth negotiating and finally hammered out a deal. Had a contract with all the equipment listed. The installer came out and goes to install those crappy cameras. Wooow I say...that's not what I am paying for! After several hours with the installer going back and forth with ADT management they wouldn't budge! Yeah I probably couldda won a lawsuit but how would my service be? By the time he left after the install it cost me over $1000 more for the cameras and backup I negotiated for.
