Ex was a GIA certified gemologist/jeweler. Even back then, gypsies would do smash & grabs as a family. All the jewelers were warned just to let them have whatever they wanted because they’d maim or kill you if you tried to stop them.

I have a third alternative in mind. As a young man I worked in the accounting office of a large Catholic Chicago hospital. An old gypsy was in for surgery and about 75 gypsies camped out in the visitors waiting. After the second day the gift shop and cafeteria showed massive losses of food, merchandise, stainless silverware even small store display fixtures.
Early the third day a bunch of off-duty, mostly Catholic cops showed up and escorted ten or twelve of the gypsy men on a tour of the back grounds of the hospital. After the tour was over, the visitors all left leaving only very well-behaved immediate family members.
