Shark Tank Idea for Smash & Grab Robberies

A daring robbery crew that raided a high-end Park Ave. jewelry store early Saturday snatched pricey jewelry and watches likely worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, police said.

The three smash-and-grab thieves busted their way through the glass front and side doors of Cellini Jewelers near E. 56th St. in Midtown at about 3:30 a.m. The store is two blocks from Trump Tower and four blocks from the Museum of Modern Art.

See the video here.

My shark tank solution is easy: Develop these jewelry containers to be pressurized so that they can be loaded with a super-powerful sleeping gas that is released if the case is smashed and knowcks out the would be thieves.

Investors being sought... cough... cough...

Meet the Artists of Otis Street Arts Project

When: Saturday October 22, 1-5-PM

Where: Otis Street Arts Project, 3706 Otis Street, Mount Rainier, MD 20712

What: Spend a casual afternoon with the artists of Otis Street Arts Project.

Meet the artists, view their latest exhibition "ARTgineering v2.0," and be prepared for some enjoyable conversations. Check out the new mural by Jeff Huntington. Plus, see an aluminum casting demonstration.

On View Now: ARTgineering V2.0

Gallery hours through December 3: 12-4 PM Saturdays, Tue-Fri by appointment

On view now: Art + Engineering = Artgineering: “the action of working artfully to bring something about”

ARTgineering v2.0 is a sequel to Otis Street Arts Project’s 2017 exhibition, “ARTgineering.” It reexamines engineering in art with a group show of eight artists, working in both 2D and 3D media: interactive electronics, geometric paintings, and 3D-printed action figures. These artistic explorations are infrequently considered, and can be stimulating to neuroplasticity—elasticity of the mind. In this “Version 2.0” show, we dive deeply into the formal engineering, structural engineering, and conceptual engineering of art.
