There, the robber had the keyholder open the safe and then made both guys lay on the floor. He took the cash, and then ordered them into the front, where he took two $800 helmets and a few other items.
Yes, how odd that this did not occur to me when I made this post and stated how I have not seen any crime or knew of anyone who had directly been involved in this kind of thing. We watched it the next day on the video playback, every bit of it.
I know it sounds pretty cavalier, but it really did not alarm me. I work there frequently and I don't worry about it (shrug). |
When I was teenager I worked for this locally owned pharmacy and the two Pharmacists that owned it they where pretty big into guns they each always had a handgun concealed and they had designed the layout of the store very well no cash registers where in the front everything was in the back and the work area was a few feet above floor level and looked down over the entire store and the cash registers the upper counters and work area had a U shape the U facing the front of the store.Hidden under the counters of the work area where two 12 gauge pump action shotguns they where both Ithacas and the store policy was that someone always was to stand up there in the work area so they could quickly grab one of those Ithacas. I don't know why because the heat packed inside that store was not known to many people my friends father was one of the owners and I did know until I started working there about the guns but no one ever tried to rob that pharmacy or even to shoplift from it so maybe they just sensed it was not a place to mess with.
It could be worse my uncle who used to live in Detroit from the late 60's to early 80's he parked his car once and had some guy run up and stick a gun in his back the guy took his wallet and his car and for what ever reason made my uncle strip down to his underwear and took his clothes and drove off.Needless to say my uncle was very angry him being a fairly large and tough person but at least the guy did not shoot him.
