    do not take him off the streets but off the planet.

    Dudes been there before as a window shopper. Also who runs a gold mine with their daughter with no security or concealed weapon?

  4. Marleyboy on September 9, 2023 at 9:17 pm

    Just a shame the place got robbed. Would have definitely liked to have gone there. I wanted the gold & quartz bit.

  5. Hey There on September 9, 2023 at 9:20 pm

    That’s a great insurance job. Can never get caught because it’s untraceable and you’re already in the business so you can put them back in the casing after you get your insurance money and no one will ever know.

    Good

  11. Glory to Ukraine on September 9, 2023 at 9:29 pm

    These type of retail store really need to start watching the news on youtube to see how much crime is happening all around the country… The store literally has gold nuggets that look like hundred dollar bills to these type of crooks…. Where is the armed security guards at the door, a double entry way doors.. That place needs to be like Fort Knox..

  12. Mitchell Tennant on September 9, 2023 at 9:29 pm

    Guy definitely lived close if he didn’t want them seeing where he went! With selling gold the beauty of it is you don’t even have to leave the living room to sell it!

  13. #MissMochiMooMoo on September 9, 2023 at 9:30 pm

    That’s different and smart… I hate to say it. 😂 It’s fucked up yes. But the actual nuggets are untraceable. So he MIGHT have gotten away with being able to sell the nuggets.

  14. Exploring_with_leafshadow on September 9, 2023 at 9:31 pm

    That man doesn’t have the skills to get the gold himself so he decided to steal it Such a shame and choose to educate himself to get the gold himself from the land

  15. Justin Edwards on September 9, 2023 at 9:31 pm

    Probably hungry

  16. Red Foreman on September 9, 2023 at 9:31 pm

    Lol Bravo just don’t do it again an he should be fine

  17. Stenson on September 9, 2023 at 9:34 pm

    Bet he is caught in the same jacket!

  18. Jay Haviv on September 9, 2023 at 9:35 pm

    Somebody will snitch for 10k.

  19. Aaron Roach on September 9, 2023 at 9:38 pm

    DUMBEST INTRO EVER!!! 🤡🤦

    "A masked man with a gun struck gold, but not in the legal way" well you don’t say.. 😒 can you tell me of a fn legal way!?

  20. Michelle Myers on September 9, 2023 at 9:38 pm

    The real robbery is $7,000 for a gold nugget 🤣🤣

  21. Martin Højbjerg on September 9, 2023 at 9:38 pm

    Look in the nearby hood

  22. AAOcapalot on September 9, 2023 at 9:39 pm

  24. Patrick on September 9, 2023 at 9:41 pm

    Brianne should be a movie star.

  25. Kavaiia on September 9, 2023 at 9:43 pm

    This man is a genius.. If he doesn’t get caught and quits while he’s ahead.

  26. UAX 4IT on September 9, 2023 at 9:44 pm

    That’s the begals for ya always stealing something . But they didn’t steal the super bowl !!

  27. Vertical Integration on September 9, 2023 at 9:47 pm

    I’m glad he got something from them
    They siting there making money and probably ain’t donating to no causes
    Oh well just be happy he didn’t shoot any of y’all

  28. Aspiring Furniture Flipper on September 9, 2023 at 9:47 pm

    I’m sorry but with so much worth in that store, why aren’t the employees armed? Now anyone who’s like the robber knows there’s young employees who can’t defend themselves and will keep being targets.
    I hope this doesn’t cause ptsd to the employees, the robber doesn’t know he’s caused more harm than just stealing from a store, I hope he gets caught.

  29. Isaac 84 on September 9, 2023 at 9:47 pm

    He’s definitely been there before and did his homework! And with that much worth in merchandise, why doesn’t the store have armed security? Oh yeah, they’ve got great insurance too. Could be a friend or family member helping move items that were worth much but not selling. You’ve got to consider ALL possibilities in such a small town unique case.

  30. k on September 9, 2023 at 9:49 pm

    Probably lost a Super Bowl bet time to pay up 😆

  31. fourloko jr on September 9, 2023 at 9:50 pm

    He is a super genius. I want to go there now is one and purchase one of there necklaces. I’m all the way in Maryland. So I must say great marketing. 👌🏾 glad no one was hurt.

  34. D J on September 9, 2023 at 9:54 pm

    That’s hilarious “not in a legal way”

  35. Derail07 on September 9, 2023 at 9:55 pm

    Probably the illegal immigrants you had mining the gold

  36. mechveteran01 on September 9, 2023 at 9:57 pm

    Dang, thats crazy

  37. Helen Cooper on September 9, 2023 at 9:57 pm

    Investing in Crypto should be on every wise individuals list, in some months time you’ll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.

  38. Street Ghost on September 9, 2023 at 9:57 pm

    oddly the story lacks a description of the robber 🤔 ..never relax

  39. pete pistol on September 9, 2023 at 9:58 pm

    Inside job

  40. Tiny Trouble on September 9, 2023 at 9:58 pm

  41. MERLIN on September 9, 2023 at 10:00 pm

    Babe you need Security? I’m semi-retired but I’ll still work if the price is right. I’m an armed Security Supervisor.

  42. mike on September 9, 2023 at 10:01 pm

    Gold nuggets. Easy to melt down and pour into bars or coins. Can sell on internet without ever being traced.

  43. Steve-in-Atlanta on September 9, 2023 at 10:02 pm

    I mean, that’s where the gold is.

  44. Lambda Lambda Lambda on September 9, 2023 at 10:03 pm
