People actually pay that much for a watch? Why? I'd be scared to walk out the door wearing something like that, especially in New York, especially in times like these.

My thoughts exactly #1; even wearing a Timex in NYC is probably dicey right now. And if the new Mayor is concerned about his city being called a 'laughingstock' then he best roll up his sleeves and do some serious work...especially if he wants those tourist dollars to keep coming.. The longer he waits the bigger the problem gets. Albany needs to buy a clue as well.

If you've been paying attention, NYC hasn't been safe in years. It isn't going to get any better with the ignorant voting for the same thing over and over again (see California). Do you want a safe city? Start by building more prison for longer jail sentences, punish harshly 2nd time offenders (everyone deserves a 2nd chance) by the 3rd or 4th throw away the key. Keep violent offenders off the streets by high bail. Punish crimes that spoil law-biding citizens quality of life. Let law-abiding citizen carry a gun.

Poor baby, someone wanted his $450K watch and he can't afford a security guard. I bet he is a Liberal and has voted to defund the Bobbies.

Thirty-two years ago, my father lived right in the middle of Manhattan and I took my newly adopted 2 month old daughter to visit him and his wife. We decided to take her in the stroller for a walk in Central Park and I was told not to wear any jewelry even though it was the middle of the day. Things have only gotten worse, much more so in the last 2 years, and this guy was just plain stupid.

As the scandal gains further traction, however, journalists, or those perhaps more accurately described as publicists, now appear to be circling the wagons around the Biden administration.
