The robber couldn’t even make it out of the store.

Abdul Hassan Abdulraman, 33, was arrested on a grand larceny charge after police say he tried to steal a $13,600 Rolex watch from C.F. Reuschlein Jewelers in Huntington, WV, according to the The Herald-Dispatch. The report says that Abdulraman asked a salesperson to see the watch, and the store’s owner showed it to him. The robber proceeded to make a break for the door, but a customer stopped him before he could exit the store and pinned him to the ground until police arrived. It was the second time in a month that the store had been targeted by thieves.

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
