Jerry Sorani, the owner of Jewellery Forever in Markham, Ont., says he acted on instinct when he fought off 3 robbers at his store with a broom handle. Police advise against engaging robbers, but Sorani says he would do it again, reflecting a shift in the mindset of jewelry store owners. Having experienced heightened anxiety over safety, he emphasizes, 'It's not like before,' indicating a growing concern over the safety of his business as crime rates soar.
Sorani highlights the changes in his attitude toward the holiday season, expressing, 'Now, we just lock the door, we watch everybody coming in and out.' His sentiments underscore how the increased frequency of smash-and-grab robberies has transformed the retail experience for jewelry store owners, suggesting a paradigm shift where the thrill of Christmas shopping is now overshadowed by the fear of potential crime.
