Three burglars stole a safe from a jewelry store in downtown Miami.

The thieves cut through the wall of the store from a closed-down business next door, according to a bulletin from the Jewelers’ Security Alliance. They tried to disable the store’s surveillance system and computers.

At 5:20 a.m. on Sept. 18, the suspects wheeled the safe out the front door, hoisted the safe onto a truck and drove away, reported.

WSVN-TV identified the store as Mitch the Jeweler. Nearly $3 million in jewelry was taken, according to the report.

The owner, who was not identified in the news report, is offering a $50,000 reward for information in the case.

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.”
