“So, what use are empty frames without the persciption lenses? Seems like an utterly pointless robbery.”
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.
Heck, it seems so pointless, I’d actually start suspecting insurance fraud. Pay a couple of homies to tear the place up, and BOOM “$50000 in losses, oh my!”
