“It will come to pass that every braggart shall be found an ass.” – William Shakespeare

After two robbers used an ax to hack through a Macy’s jewelry showcase and make off with $150,000 in merchandise, the pair was arrested thanks to anonymous tips informing police that one thief was bragging about his exploits to co-workers, the Indy Star reports.

The article explains that one tip came from a witness who said that the thief “had been going around work saying ‘I’m the man,’ court documents said. The witness went on to say that [the thief] would show people the security footage released to the media, and when asked if he was involved, he would never deny it.”

This seems like an apt time to recall the sage wisdom of William Shakespeare, who once warned: “Who knows himself a braggart, let him fear this, for it will come to pass that every braggart shall be found an ass.” Indeed.

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.”
