We're starting to think London may be super fashionable but really unsafe, because we have no idea how a band of burglars is still getting away with storefront smash-and-grabs.
Once again, Anya Hindmarch, this time the one on New Bond Street, was robbed late at night. The thieves broke through the front door using a sledgehammer (who gets away driving around on a moped with a sledgehammer?) then made away with thousands of dollars worth of bags.
Even though the police know the thieves were two men wearing silver hoodies and light-colored helmets, they still didn't catch them.
In fact, from all the store robberies over the past few years, and all of the arrests the police told us they made in December, so far only one person has actually been put in jail - for breaking into Mulberry and Louis Vuitton - and for just 26 months.
Here's a tip - don't do any late night window shopping in London.
