A jewelry display case that has been broken and stolen from.

History

edit
 
The Irish Crown Jewels were stolen in 1907; the theft was never solved, and the jewels were never recovered.[1]

Methods

edit

Jewelry theft is often committed by organized rings. Thieves themselves do not sell stolen jewelry, but use people called fences to sell it on their behalf. The money from stolen jewelry is then laundered in cities or countries where the theft did not take place.[2]

In the United States, the most popular cities where fencers sell jewelry are Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, and New York City.[2]
