The robber couldn’t even make it out of the store.

Abdul Hassan Abdulraman, 33, was arrested on a grand larceny charge after police say he tried to steal a $13,600 Rolex watch from C.F. Reuschlein Jewelers in Huntington, WV, according to the The Herald-Dispatch. The report says that Abdulraman asked a salesperson to see the watch, and the store’s owner showed it to him. The robber proceeded to make a break for the door, but a customer stopped him before he could exit the store and pinned him to the ground until police arrived. It was the second time in a month that the store had been targeted by thieves.

Time for More “Me Time”? Time to Call Wilkerson

Rick White, owner of White’s & Co. Jewelry in Rogers, Ark., knew it was time to retire. Since the age of 18, jewelry had been his life. Now it was time to get that “me time” every retailer dreams about. So, he chose Wilkerson to manage his going-out-of-business sale. White says he’d done plenty of sales on his own, but this was different. “Wilkerson has been a very, very good experience. I’ve had the best salespeople in the history of jewelry,” he says. “I recommend Wilkerson because they are really the icon of the jewelry business and going-out-of-business sales. They’ve been doing it for decades. I just think they’re the best.”
