Why Take A Risk with
Precious Merchandise?
Imagine this as
a
Worst Case Scenario:
On January 2, 2007, the Times-Picayune
newspaper reported on the robbery of a sporting goods store,
where weapons were sold, in Metairie, Louisiana. The
thieves cut a hole in a wall to gain entry and then
proceeded to smash the display cases and take the handguns
and rifles on display. The total number of weapons
stolen in that one burglary was 122 guns and rifles which
included 2 assault rifles.

Police Investigate
Jewelry Heist
An unknown number of
thieves made off with a "substantial amount" of
jewelry last week by breaking three windows at Barry
Peterson Jewelers in Ketchum, smashing display cases,
grabbing the goods and fleeing.
"It was kind of like a
smash-and-grab thing," said Ketchum Police Department
spokeswoman Kim Rogers, in describing the heist that
occurred early on Wednesday, Nov. 22.
Police declined to say
how much the stolen goods are worth, but described
them as a variety of display window pieces.
"A substantial amount
of assorted jewelry was taken from the shop," said
investigating officer Ken Martinez.
Shattered glass
littered the sidewalks in front of the store on Sun
Valley Road early Wednesday morning, as police
officers investigated and gathered potential evidence.
But the debris was quickly cleaned up and the broken
windows replaced later that day.
The store remained
closed Wednesday, but staff had things back in order
for Friday's after-Thanksgiving Day shopping.
"It's definitely
shocking," said store owner Barry Peterson. "Nothing
like this has ever happened before."
Peterson explained that store window items were inside
display cases made of
shatterproof glass.
He speculated that a heavy instrument such as a
sledgehammer was used to break them.
"It's your typical
smash-and-grab robbery, which is popular with jewelry
stores these days," he said. "It probably lasted about
60 seconds."

Shatterproof Glass
vs. Lexan® Polycarbonate
The jewelry store
article brings up an excellent point and highlights a very
important distinction that needs to be made between tempered
glass and impact resistant glass. Tempered glass and
Impact Resistant Glass are two totally different animals and
offer two totally different levels of protection and safety
for your merchandise.
Shatterproof Glass
or Tempered Glass is just that -- shatterproof.
Tempered Glass is not theft-resistant! We offer a
number of display cases with tempered glass as a standard
element of construction. We strongly recommend tempered
glass in environments where children are present (schools) or
where heavy traffic and a heightened public exposure
(hospitals) exist.
We do not
recommend tempered glass as a deterrent or solution to theft!
The article above
suggests that the thieves used a sledge hammer to enter the
jewelry cases. A sledge hammer would cause the tempered
glass to shatter like a windshield shatters. But, with
continued force, the glass will eventually break away.
This is because tempered glass is
meant to be used as a safety feature and nothing more.
On the other
hand, Impact resistant Lexan®
Polycarbonate provides a whole new level of protection to your
valuables. It too is shatterproof BUT it is further
designed to be IMPACT RESISTANT. It is used in
combination with other extra security features such as a steel
reinforced door tracks and heavy duty interchangeable core
locks to be specifically designed to deter and prevent theft.
These display cases are built with more than just safety in
mind -- these cases are virtually indestructible and
impenetrable.
Our theft
resistant cases are built utilizing SAR Lexan®
Polycarbonate.
This material includes a silicone hard coat surface to cut
down on scratches and abrasions that can occur under normal
use. Lexan®
is comparable to glass when it comes to clarity and
visibility.
Do not be confused between tempered
glass and impact resistant glass.
They are NOT one and the same.
We offer 25% off
of the purchase of any theft resistant display case. We
strongly recommend these cases for gun dealers and jewelers
because of the heightened propensity for smash and grab
robberies among these types of merchants.
