The robbery happened this morning at Valley Wrought Iron on Whitesbridge near Fruit. The owner says two men walked in, acting like customers, but then ordered him to the ground and left with a safe full of rare coins and stones. Henry Mendez is in the business of keeping people safe. He makes security doors, he sells them -- and admits they have one weakness. "The weakness on them, you open them, and let them in." http://abc30.com/news/safe-with-rar...bery/705920/ ...It's a pretty sad were living in now... Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not sure why every business doesn't do this by default, particularly those with high-dollar items on premises that would attract miscreants. The setup is less than $1k for a decent system with 8 cameras and a DVR. Seems like insurance companies would/should give a discount for such a measure.

Doesn't seem to be a business that is known for having a safe full of rare coins and gems in the backroom. Was it the owner's collection stored on the premises? Report this Post to the Staff
