Mission Impossible: Tom Cruise cannot save a Rolex store from being burglarized by migrants in London.

A source close to the Mission Impossible star, 63, said he left his £35million pad because he felt the star-studded location had 'declined' recently.
A terrifying robbery of the Rolex store near Cruise's building last week saw attackers on motorbikes ram into the shop and swing machetes at brave security guards who tried to stop them.
The thugs entered the Bucherer with a large sledge hammer, two small claw hammers and a centre point tool used for smashing thick glass.
Around 20 watches were robbed in the broad daylight raid last week which went on for three terrifying minutes before the yobs fled on their bikes.
'The over aggressive attack on the store below cemented the lack of security surrounding the multi-million pound flats where Cruise lives,' the source close to the A-list actor said.
'He often loved to take a walk around the area but it seems like Knightsbridge is becoming less safe by the week. He just felt the area has declined in the past year or two.'
Cruise was known to go for early morning runs in Hyde Park, which is directly across the road - named South Carriage Drive - from the high-end block he lived in.
One worker at a neighbouring hotel told the Daily Mail that motorbikes from either side of the Rolex store had swooped in a well-planned, pincer movement.
The worker was having a cigarette break in Serpentine Walk, a path that runs from the large South Carriage Drive to the Knightsbridge road, where the front of the luxury watch store can be accessed.
He said two bikes sped past him, with at least one driver carrying a 'very big knife', while other robbers came from the Knightsbridge side.

Give him a break. After all, he needs a director, cameraman, and screenplay notes to become a hero.
Do you think he realized he might be drastically reducing the worth of his $35 million residence by publicly making such a statement?
OK. It wasn’t Cruise that announced it. It was an “unknown” source. Maybe someone looking to purchase it?
But he still can’t connect any dots between his ideological choices and results.
“’The stupidity of this is beyond comprehension,’ says Trevor Abrahamson of Glentree Estates. ‘If you want them to pay tax, they will pay tax. But not on everything.’ Two of his clients – Lakshmi Mittal, the Indian steel magnate, and Norwegian shipping magnate, John Fredriksen have already left for Dubai. ‘They’re wealth creators,’ says Mr Abrahamson. ‘Which idiotic country would create an environment so they leave?’”
even stupider is simultaneously welcoming with open arms bazillions of non-english speaking poor foreign peasants who hate western values, and spending billions on supporting them ...
Perhaps you will do something to fix the politics in the UK...? Yes? No?
Cruise's best move is to sell the property. How he votes, idk, but he has a big voice and should speak in support of sensible US policies.
Yeah I was tearing up too until I remembered Hollywood supports open borders and cheap third world labor. Guess it never occurred to them the third world might effect THEIR lifestyles and not just ours. Eff 'em.
> Tom Cruise is a us citizen. What do you expect him to do to alter life in the UK? <
I solved that little problem in my post #18.
(And note the smiley face.)

Well, I do relentlessly point out how the UK got the way it is today.

You’re right about that. Less tax money from him to feed the UK monster.
He doesn’t get his kicks in Knightsbridge anymore?

“According to a recent report on global wealth by Henley & Partners, in 2024 the UK lost more millionaire residents than any city in the world except for Moscow”
I was not aware that the UK is now a city, not a nation.
Not picking on you, of course. But any source, lib or conservative, lose all credibility with me when they write like this.
There goes the neighborhood
It is 35 million pounds which at current rates is $48.3 million.
Come on Tom. Just a bit more of the ‘ol ultraviolence, will you stay then, eh Tom? Will you stay?
