He intentionally left the bag on the side of the highway to “hide” it.

A man who robbed a Ben Bridge Jewelers store in Austin, TX of 20-30 Rolexes was arrested after the police recovered the watches about a month later, KXAN reports. The man, according to the article, hid the bag of watches on the side of a highway (for reasons unstated in the story) about a mile from the jewelry shop. When he went to retrieve the watches, he found an empty bag and proceeded to get into a domestic altercation with his girlfriend for which he was jailed. The man was later arrested for the theft and charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
