Two jewelers were convicted in May of scripting and acting out an elaborate plan to steal their own baubles for the insurance money. Now they will spend between 20 months and 5 years in jail.
The biggest blunder was their inability to disarm their own security cameras. The failed attempt was, ironically, caught on tape. As cameras continued to defiantly roll, we see the pair removing the contents of the safe before the “burglars” even arrive, and then place the empty boxes back inside for the crooks to confiscate.
In the next scene the two hired accomplices — dressed as Hasidic Jews and armed with plastic guns — are buzzed in without even being asked, “Who’s there?” Spoiler alert: The stolen goods have not been recovered, and the costumed extras have.

When the sequel comes out you can bet they will have a better director. And you gotta love it-that the jewelry is missing.
