ezzra Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Maybe those ancient style gold shop owners will start employing guards for a change or invest in better security now that the price of gold is at $2000 oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE1 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 There was a time when the was a Police officer or some sort of armed security out in front of the gold / jewellery shops. Maybe they thought it was an expense they could do without. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four gold shops inside Big C in my area, all open fronted and fully accessible by customers. The first one is 50 meters from the main door. A guard [un-armed] walks around all day, mostly drinking pepsi in an opposite cafe. Time these shops got wise to robbery. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammieuk1 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 That's the trouble with having to many pistols to brandish in a country that shouldn't need any ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardColeman Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Trap door by the exit door and an 'open' button under the counter and this will end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ54 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Maybe it’s a way for cheap advertising cause seems there is a very high percentage of thief’s caught.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for a start these gold shops in shopping centers always seem to be as close to the entrance as possible, and no security screens to prevent anyone from jumping over, they seem to be asking to be robbed.
