That’s what Håkon Vestberg, who owns the jewelery store Diamanthuset at the Amfi Vågsbygd shopping center in Kristiansand, says. On Tuesday, a “customer” came into the store and asked one of the employees to try on a ring. As he put on the ring, he turned and ran away. It was Fædrelandsvennen who wrote about the case first. Vestberg has run the jeweler since 2009 and has never experienced anything like this. Now he is asking people who may have seen the thief or recognize him to contact the police.

He says that they talk about such incidents at staff meetings and about how the employees should act in such situations. – She who was at work did everything right. She pressed the alarm button right away and didn’t run after. We shall not challenge fate, for after all it is only one thing. Suddenly, the thief may have a weapon in his pocket. The ring that was stolen cost around NOK 60,000.

The risk of being caught is what makes people stop. The police were notified of the incident, but had no available patrol. The relationship will be reported. The insurance does not cover theft Vestberg says that as long as the shop is open and the goods are available, the insurance does not cover such theft. – This is what is called a simple theft, because we have unlocked an item that the customer takes and runs away with. There are enough insurances that can cover such theft, but they are far too expensive. He estimates that the store will have to sell goods worth one million kroner to cover the loss of the ring. – Everything that is stolen goes beyond the profit margin. It sounds nice to run jewelers’ shops and sell diamonds, but the bottom line is not very big. From that point of view, it is very devastating when this happens, says Vestberg Section leader at Common criminal case intake in Agder police district Jan Nesland, confirms that they have received a report of the theft. He says the police will examine surveillance images and collect other information in the case.
