I’m sure we all have thoughts on this but can I please just draw your attention to the £150,000 worth of stolen handbags that the Metropolitan Police say look like this

It looks like they took an ordinary tasteless expensive watch, dipped it in PVA glue, and then dropped in into a tub of cheap industrial grinding diamonds
I would wear it and I would make it look GOOD (in all seriousness the Kelly is a great bag and this looks like they’ve paired it with the quirkiness of a Celine bag so it’s win win)
Look for the thief who keeps telling his handbag to pipe down.
Also puzzled by this Hermes watch, which looks like it's lain undistributed in a North Atlantic shipwreck for a century.
Err we don't care. Because the story doesn't say how they made their money, give the full picture. Not asking for some form of shock horror reaction. For example the Assad's have shed loads of money in the UK every penny stolen.
From Hong Kong with an Arabic named bracelet. I doubt these people work a 9-5 job, they probably acquired the money illicitly so they were relieved illicitly. The End
The houses on Avenue Road are so unbelievably big, they can be burgled while residents are home but in a different part of the house. Which sounds risky, but chances are the alarm system’s not activated and private security not around while residents are home.
You know, I could understand it on a 14 year old if it came from Claire’s Accessories and cost £3.99, but you’d really hope that by the time someone was a grown adult with £10m to burn they had a more interesting thought in their head than “that’s my name”. But of course they don’t
The Met in special measures never ceases to surpass the lowest possible bar for comms and PR despite spending hundreds of thousands of pounds annually to be wildly ineffective and offensive
The key question is surely how many of those cheery chaps one gets for £150,000. If it’s 2,000, they might be fairly priced. But I suspect it’s substantially fewer.
@susanrwright.bsky.social has just underlined to me that the “crocodile” bit means some poor reptile had to give up its skin to make that.
The world keeps making @henrymance.bsky.social’s points for him.
If the extremely rich actually wanted us to think they deserved being extremely rich, they wouldn't spend so much money on looking like complete pricks. This is clearly a cry for help, and that cry sounds like "tax all our wealth above £10m at 90%"
This reminds me of a wedding present we got from some friends of my parents — an elaborate glass cake stand that was overly ornamental with all this weird colored glass. Ugly and expensive
It's future archaeologists I feel for.
Sifting dirt, finding "what the heck cld they have used *that* for - is this evidence of a new evolution of human kind ?"

One of the stolen items is a bracelet for a female named Shafira.
I'm sure somebody could figure out who they are.
To have £10million of jewellery just scattered around the house is obscene.
* could be more depending on their choice of handbag 😉
Most famous because of its never-to-be-seen Number 100 😂

To all of it.
It was quite similar in tone to this purse.
I paid $3.99 at a thrift store for it.
