It all happened at about 3:45 a.m. at Grand Jewelry Repair on Grand Avenue. A man and a woman used a crowbar to break into the shop as others waited outside. They tried twice to remove a large safe in the back of the shop, said Christopher Tran, son of the owners. "The first time they did it, they used a rope and it snapped. So the next time they came back it was a heavy chain," Tran said.
Inside the box, about $300,000 in jewelry and watches, all safe. But the safe itself? A damaged mess."As they're driving away, it was still dragging, so when we saw the safe, the bottom was kind of rubbed out, because it was dragging onto the street," Tran said.A tow truck had to be called to remove the safe, which is now at an undisclosed location."We're extremely happy that they dropped it," Tran said.
