So, what use are empty frames without the persciption lenses?

Seems like an utterly pointless robbery.

The fence gets to deliver that message.

That’s what I’m working on too. And given the markups in eyeglasses (and frames), I suspect the loss there is closer to $500 for the frames, and probably a few thousand to repair the damage done to the displays.

Still...they are going to feel like idiots when their fence offers them $20 or something.

They were only going after certain cases. Probably did not take empty frames but sunglasses.

And those can be very pricy.

Because not all glasses frames are cheap.
