Next time you think that lucky lady you invited in is spending the night, I recommend you keep an eye on the prize to make sure she's not Smoke on the Water.
James Edmunds, a child born of Rock and Roll (his dad was in Rockpile and his stepdad was in Deep Purple, hence the pun), couldn't see past the smoke late last month when he and his brother invited two women into his 73rd Street apartment to snoop around.
The snooping became thieving when one of the women grabbed three expensive watches, which, according to the Post were "a $4,000 Rolex, $300 Coach and $211 Mondaine", and took off!
The $4,500 timely heist comes to the Post a month after the crime, meaning either Edmunds lost track of time and reported the crime way late (a possibility), or the Post is snoozing on their random crime reports. But did the ladies strike again in the meantime?
This Craigslist listing mentions a missing "14k Gold Movada Watch", listed on Nov. 19. Could it be a coincidence that someone else in this tiny city just-so-happened to lose a watch exactly 36 days after the rock brothers? Or, are we seeing the start of a city-wide watch heist?! Doubtful. It's just Smoke on the Water again.
