Here, this is better than the movies. What just happened here locally.

In what appeared to be a calculated crime, burglars cut through the
walls of multiple stores overnight to get into Marquise Jewelry in
Schaumburg and steal merchandise worth $1.5 million.
“Everything was gone. They did not leave us anything,” said owner Asma
Anwar. “This was a well-planned burglary.”
Anwar and Shazad Malik walked into their store at the Woodfield Mall
Friday morning to find their shelves wiped clean by burglars who had
broken in during the overnight hours.
“I came into this place that I worked hard for 13 years to build, and I
came to this place, and it was wiped. I was speechless at that point,”
Malik said.
The couple said they were told by police that there were six people
involved, after the mall closed for the night; but they said they
weren't notified about the break-in until the next morning.
“I need answers on how this was going on for overnight hours, after mall
hours, how was this going on that the security was not notified,” said
Anwar.
Schaumburg police said the crime was discovered by a construction worker
who entered a vacant store adjacent to Marquise Jewelry at about 9:30
a.m. Monday and reported a hole in the drywall. Police said they found
the suspects covered one of the surveillance cameras to avoid detection.
More disturbing was how the burglars gained access to their store. The
couple found a small hole in the wall, and later learned from police the
burglars cut through the walls of three other businesses to get to their
jewelry store.
“This is a concern my family's safety, this is a concern for my safety.
This is a concern for millions of people walking in this mall,” Anwar said.
The couple said they have security in their store and the mall also has
security patrolling overnight, so it's unclear why they were not
notified sooner.
“We are small business owners. We are not a corporation. It going to
take us a long time to recover, if we can,” said Anwar.
“It's a whole mess. It's a big mess, you know. It's a heartbreaking
thing,” Malik said.
Schaumburg police called the investigation “very active” and said they
are reviewing surveillance footage from multiple sources, as well as
other evidence.

Noticed Moviepass is trying to get me to subscribe for $1 a month or
something. Been happy with AMC's program every since Moviepass
imploded.....anyone trying moviepass again?
Are there even any descent movies anymore? Found "Clear and Present
Danger" on my antique DVR last night and watched it.
Realized I saw it a while back but probably not "Patriot Games".
Thought "Sum of all Fears" was one of the better movies of its
time. Nothing like that anymore. Nothing "good" since Olympus Has
Fallen / England has Fallen / whatever else they did...."
I know there was a writer's strike but it seems they just didn't
recover. Seems like Hollywood is imploding. Some of us say
"good" since their politics aren't exactly my politics....but I
**must** unplug and just be entertained from time to time....
Wife asked me to make "Mr Robot" fall out of the sky (oh, i'm sorry,
now-a-days that is "cloud" right lol). Guess we will see
how that is.....
