Strange, one of my brother's jewellery shops got held up by some sledgehammer thugs a year or so ago - one of his more senior staff, bless her, stood up to them, and they got away with nothing (they did try a sledgehammer through some of his display cases, and where shocked it bounced off :o

Unfortunately, the stupid digital cctv had crashed and not recorded it - boy was I in trouble over that  :-[

Try American Dynamics CCTV stuff, very clever, tremendous range (camera 1KM away from recording) recovering software, IP addressed cameras, *35 optical zoom, etc. Not that I'm biased or nothing  ;D
