    Another Roleo stolen a while back

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...h-manhunt.html


    TBH I don't think that I would walk down Frognal way (hampstead) at that time wearing that - but that's just me I guess.

    I haven't had time to read the article, but I agree.
    The Roleo does look a bit cumbersome to be wearing on the wrist.

    They must have enough video frames to get their faces, if the police can be bothered

    I think your right Adrian

    Plenty of full face images lets hope they get caught.

    Does focus ones mind on what we wear sadly.

    We went to London on Friday, I wore an Apple Watch, i think thieves are getting more savvy and can recognise more watches, not just the obvious ones, it’s not worth the risk

    The standard reply from the police is "thats what insurance is for".

    Said to my face last year and this year in seperate criminal incidents,they are part of the problem as people believe there is no comeback.

    They choose who they help and they choose what crimes they deem worth investigating which links back to "they choose who to help" in deciding.

    I have seen it first hand,they positivley identified the thieves in one case and knew where the lived.

    Even when I beged for help they would do nothing.

    Going so far as to redact the photos of the criminals so much you couldnt see a body shape.

    People with visible signs of wealth will always be easy targets.The scum also know they are hard to find after the crime.

    Will only get worse sadly......

    President bracelet is used on precious metal models, not steel or Bimetal
