Smash and Grab at High end Store in San Francisco


Was in our local paper that at 4am this morning, a large vehicle drove through the front of an audio store to conduct a smash and grab.

I've heard that the store was Audio Vision SF, which sells Audio Research and other high end brands.

The story said the store sustained 100k in structural damages, but no word on what inventory was taken.

That sucks for them. I went there several years ago when I was in townÂ…very nice guys.
I have never heard of anyone breaking into a high end audio store. I thought we were under the radar.
The insurance company and store owner are now battling over damages. The insurance company states that the equipment stolen is only worth 25% of what the store owner paid.

The store owner did not have a chance in hell after the adjuster drove off in a 80k Mercedes.
Yes, this is Audio Vision. I have speakers on order there.

The front of the store is a small lobby area and desk etc. it's also where the wall of headphones and a Woo and Simaudio Headphone amp is and perhaps other amps. Further back and down the hall are the listening rooms and the halls are loaded with demo and trade-in speakers. Where the truck slammed in would have been the lobby area where cans and headphone amps are. I would bet that was the grab and not the gear down the hallways. My guess,,,

Thieves suck!!!
$10K worth of stuff stolen. The store owners say a High Fidelity 0.5 meter digital cable, an Audio Magic Fuse and a couple of Shun Mook Mpingo discs are missing.
