The Burberry flagship on Chicago’s Michigan Avenue was hit by burglars yesterday for the second time this week, reports ABC 7 Chicago.

Early Thursday morning, six men, two armed with guns, reportedly pried open the doors, entered the store and fled with as much merchandise as they were able to carry, said police. On Tuesday morning, police report that five burglars broke in and stole merchandise. In Tuesday’s incident, a nearby Moose Knuckles location on East Walton Street was also robbed in a similar fashion.

It’s unclear if the incidents are related.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
