We heard about it last night. It''s very, very close to where I live and shop! Scarey. I may just leave the goodies at home next time I go out shopping.

OMG, that''s awful!

Julesbeth, thanks for posting this! Girls, please be SO careful, especially those of you who live near Chicago!

And this is OT, but I just have to say it: HOLY CRAP, DID YOU SEE THE GORGEOUS PEAR SOLITAIRE IN THE PIC WITH THE ARTICLE?!?!

Irishgrrl!! I KNOW! I was like, if he was trying to steal that it was prob more than 15K!!


Cat mom and italia be careful! I am in the city and don''t have the heart to fight tourists this year for christmas shopping so most of mine has been done ONLINE Plus its cheaper than the 10.25% city tax!

Seriously!!! I''m usually not a pear person, but WOW!!! That thing is AMAZING!!!

And I''m with you . . . I have no desire to fight with the crowds, so I''m mostly an online shopper!

I''m with you on that Irishgrrrl! Wow, what a pear! Obviously that wasn''t the $15K ring.

Be safe out there gals! Maybe get your diamonds laser-inscribed.

Thank you for posting this, Jules. One of these two robberies happened in my home town!

My son moved to Chicago in July, me and my sister visited him in Nov, we both decided to leave the jewels at home (mine stayed in a gun safe) we both only wore a wedding band, sounds like it was a good move

Everyone who lives there please be careful.
