even if she didn't do that, what could they do? hoping that she had dementia till she forgot it was there while they continued talking? if they were to snatch and run, the cctv can be used unless the shop doesn't want the hassle.

Very suspicious, the man asked her to show two items but after she put the 2nd item on the table, he quickly left without even looking at it.

yes, i believe that they intended to steal cos his partner didn't even stay to ask if she could take a look. 
but i wonder whether the game plan was to hope to switch the item with a fake or snatch and run or what.

Yes, that is what they intended to do but failed, they will try the same trick in the next jewelry shop

Pretty neat how they pulled that off! It's like something out of a movie.

Anyway, I think quick thinking and a bit of skill can go a long way in situations like that. What do you all reckon? Ever had a similar experience? Share your stories!
