      The crew drives their truck through the front of a closed jewelry store at night, then smash the jewelry cases and take the jewelry. No real jewelry store leaves their merchandise under display cases when the store is empty; it is removed every night and put in a safe, then put back out on display the next morning.

    Show is great and just long enough to not lose interest.
    The show is great. Keeps you on your toes and someone always screwing over someone. Smurf is a horrible actress but the part is written very well. Everyone else fits the part. Highly recommend
