The guy said they would only hit jewellers that had made false insurance claims. This isn't for ethical reasons, or because it's right, it's because the ones who made false insurance claims wouldn't then make a second claim that the stuff was stolen, as they'd already reported it stolen, and they wouldn't afford to bring attention to themselves. They'd be more afraid of getting arrested for insurance fraud than getting robbed. Therefore robbing the place has less chance of (enthusiastic) involvement of the law.

In my country you basically cannot make "false insurance claims" because you have to have in your hand an official police report from their investigation that says "yes we confirmed that the items have actually been stolen". So the police would have to come to the conclusion without a doubt that it has all the elements of the crime. So if anything, they would be making a false police report (non-existent crime) LOOONG before they would a false insurance claim, if at all.

I was thinking the same thing

I can only speak to my jewelry experience in the U.S., but much of what he said about the gemstones themselves simply isn't true. If you are in a reputable business, the diamonds on display will be exactly what they claim to be. We even kept a diamond on display that was not for sale. We used it to show what you would find at a less reputable jewelry retailer. It was exactly 1ct, but was noticeably smaller than the other 1ct diamonds we had in stock. Why? Firstly, it did weigh out to exactly 1ct and it was S1 in clarity with a g color. On paper it's a very nice stone. The difference was the cut. the girdle was too thick, and the Pavillion was too deep. Because the cut was poor it made the diamond's table area, the flat area at the top of the diamond, much smaller. These are things we took into account when sourcing diamonds. We would order 3-5 of the same (or as close as possible) size and quality diamonds, pick the ones (if there were any) that met our required percentages for the cuts, and then did a clarity and color verification ourselves. I did get certified by the GIA to grade diamonds. He is correct in the statement that diamonds are not rare. Perfect diamonds are rare, even when they are man made. The probability of carbon turning to diamond instead of graphite is low, and even lower still is the probability that the resulting diamond's crystalline structure is free from imperfections or inclusions. Then he commented on Sapphire and Emerald being more rare than diamond. Emeralds, especially perfect emeralds are very rare. Sapphire is not. If he is referring to a perfect deep blue sapphire, then yes those are rare. Sapphires in general however, not at all rare. In fact, if you purchase a watch at over $600 the chances are very high that the crystal covering the watch face is sapphire. Personally if I was going to reference a stone as being much more rare than diamond, then I would have said Alexandrite. If you don't know about Alexandrite, please take some time to check it out. Right now it looks like quality Alexandrite is only available to be mined in 3 countries. If its so rare, how come I can find some for pretty cheap? If you are seeing inexpensive Alexandrite, then it's either lab created or is a brownish yellow color with little to no color shift, and that is undesirable. If you want a real challenge, find a perfect deep blue (almost purple) to green shifting Alexandrite at 2ct or larger. Yes the stone changes colors depending on the type of light it is reacting to. As a side note, if anyone ever tells you to buy jewelry as an investment or labels something as "investment quality," punch them in the face and leave because they are trying to screw you. Only ever buy jewelry because you love the piece and it will bring you joy. Jewelry is not an investment. maybe 1% of the time you will find a buyer willing to pay more for your piece than you did. It just does not happen. Also keep in mind that appraisals are retail value. You will never sell your piece to a retailer or wholesaler for that price. They will give you 30-45%, if you are lucky, of what the appraisal states your piece is worth. My apologies for the small novel.

I do cyber and it's all certifications and stuff and companies make their own for their software, so I've never really thought twice about certifications from that perspective (aside from the testing aspect and its cost kind of being a racket). I thought this was interesting. He definitely didn't talk down what he did too much as you both said, but I'd also say he didn't exactly glorify it either.

Also, when I earned my psychology degree we were all warned early on about getting our Drug & Alcohol counselor’s certification (if we had substance abuse history) as this guy did. Basically, there’s a large portion of people who kick their habit and become obsessed with helping others do so too. Sounds great and really can be. However, most are way too vulnerable to relapse to help others and they tend to push their method to recovery on those they help. Anyway, the guy is shady to me.

Glad to know that the uselessness of prisons is a global phenomenon - Pete from the cocaine trafficking video called prisons the "finishing schools of crime."

The thing at least that I’ve noticed working as an electrician when it comes to battery back ups for alarms, most people I find don’t maintain them so there’s been times where I have to shut the power off and 20 minutes in the alarm is complaining of no battery. Also I find that if you disguise yourself as someone who looks like they’re supposed to be doing some thing then you can get away with it so part of the crew in disguise themselves as a lineman or actually works as a lineman then shutting the power off and waiting about 30 minutes could probably work to disable the alarm.

On the flip side, diamonds are light and gold is heavy. You might be able to carry a sack of diamonds out the door without an issue. But a gallon sized piece of pure 24kt gold weighs 161 pounds. 161 pounds of gold is worth over $3 million so thats a very big payday if they have gallon sized chunks of pure gold lying around. Obviously jewelry isn't pure gold and there will be air pockets lowering its overall density but you get the point.

The biggest difference however, is that gold can be melted down to conceal its origin, whereas diamonds cannot. The cuts and other distinguishing factors will always be there, thus providing additional information that potentially betrays its origin.

9 years ago, one of the biggest malls in my country had a gold jewellery shop robbed by a Latin gang during the linar new year. They flew 24h to come here lol. Since the shop is run by chinese, they had locked up all their jewellery in their safes in the back and went on their lunar new year holiday for 4 days. My family was in the mall at the time just walking around. It was a busy weekend night. Suddenly the electricity for the whole mall went out. Complete darkness except for the exit signs. Everyone obviously panicked and left the mall except the mall security who were asked to patrol the mall while lights were out. After 1 hour they managed to fix the power. When the staff for the gold shop came back after the 4 day holiday they found their safes broken into with a oxy torch. The robbers melted the doors lol. Immediately locked down the shop and cops came for the investigation. The robbers took the cctv recorder for the shop. They somehow deactivated the motion sensor alarms and also broke through the backdoor of the shop. They didnt even go through the front door cause they knew the guards were patrolling the mall so they used the back entrance to the shop. They found out it was the same gang that robbed another shop 2 years prior based on mall cctv but cops said they suspect it was an inside job based on how clean the robbery was. Maybe for insurance like this guy said.

I am a silversmith but my work is in making replica medieval renaissance pieces and I basically have retired. I can attest to the industry mark up of popular jewelry itens, not just stone but metal aswell. And even some of the more expensive jewelers do not actually make the piece. They can customize and order the style piece you want through certain precious metal and stone suppliers who offer a range of services. These pieces are made overseas with labour being far cheaper.

He keeps talking about the markup and it makes me think that the probably THE most aggressive force to make jewelry robbery more difficult (laser engraving etc) is the diamond cartel and their distributors. In other words, it's less about losing profit from robberies and more about maintaining a monopoly on the industry, determining who can and can't sell. Obviously shoplifting/theft could be expensive, but I wonder how much it plays into it.

My jewelry store got robbed out of 2.5 mil worth of jewelry and insurance only covered 10% of that...

If you are in a gang of people doing crime, you're a gangster. It's the gagsters who lie to themselves saying they are businessmen because deep down they know they are liars and thieves and frauds so to stifle their consciences they say they are businessmen. It's like liars who say that everybody lies, in which case, nobody tells the truth so lying becomes a meaningless concept, and thus I don't have to confront my conscience and start being an honest person.
