    Though not personally in the fine jewelry business, I've been in
    lots of fine jewelry stores and wholesale showrooms. Regarding
    security, certainly cameras inside and outside the store would deter
    lots of people from attempting anything. However, I would think that
    the "double door system" would be a good deterent. 

    In this system anyone entering or exiting the store has to go
    through two doors. Leaving the store, they open and walk through the
    first door, and it has to shut and lock behind them before the
    employees (still inside the store) are able to hit a buzzer and
    unlock the second door which leads outside. 

    However, no system is perfect or foulproof--thus the reason for
    adequate insurance (if you can afford it . . .). 

    On a similar note, a fine jewelry mart (many retailers located
    within the same large showroom) here in Ft. Lauderdale was recently
    hit by a group of professionals. Apparently the pros first broke into
    the restaurant next door, cut through the common wall, cut the phone
    lines, disabled the alarms, etc., and took only the good stuff.
    Bastards . . . 

    Any of you see the movie out recently "The Italian Job"?
