| 2025-03-16 |
| [NYPOST] A gang of Colombian The ''South American Theft Group'' operated in Florida, Georgia, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, and elsewhere targeting traveling jewelry salespeople, and stores, from September 2019 to August 2021, authorities said. Their biggest score came in February 2020, when they robbed as much as $2.6 million in merchandise from a traveling jewelry salesperson in Boynton Beach, FL, court records show. The year before, they nabbed $730,000 in jewelry during a September theft from a car in Boca Raton, FL, and $125,000 during a November robbery in Miami Beach. All the stolen merchandise was unloaded to Mark Simon, a Westchester County resident who allegedly paid cut-rate prices in cash and often traveled to Florida to meet them in hotel rooms, prosecutors said. Simon, 56, allegedly paid just just $16,000 for $1 million in baubles stolen in a Dalton, GA, burglary, according to prosecutors and court records. |

| #1 Simon may be a crook but he obviously has balls and excellent negotiating skills with dangerous people. Perhaps he has a future in contracting/procurement for the clandestine services? |
