Roof-top burglar steals from rare coin store at Tacoma’s Freighthouse Square
by Alexis Krell / The News Tribune
In minutes, the thief cut through the ceiling and used a rope to descend into the rare coin shop below and steal a bagful of its merchandise before he fled the store. Surveillance video shows the unmasked burglar’s climb, as well as his distinct receding hairline and mustache.
Raymond Brandt, owner of American Rare Coins & Collectibles, stands next to the rope a burglar used to enter his business and steal several thousand dollars worth of coins, in Tacoma. The coins pictured in the foreground were recovered from the roof after apparently leaking from the garbage bag used to haul the stolen merchandise.

Now they have new non-breakable showcases in many of the jewelry stores. If is really fun watching the smash and grab thieves try to break into them. they get very frustrated and just leave the premises, usually just as the police arrive.
Even if he locked the cases the burglar would of broken them. Thanks for the info capt Mike.
