“Reproduction in any form is strictly prohibited."
Let's do the ethical thing and set an example for others!

LAPD CCD Update Since DCWC Meeting |
|
|
|
In mid-March, DCWC representatives held a meeting with the Captain of the CCD (Commercial Crimes Division) who oversees all 21 division geographic divisions of LAPD's Commercial Crimes.
In the less than a month, the Captain has already issued a report to all divisions:
"In an attempt to recover stolen jewelry from burglaries and robberies, in addition to identifying individuals receiving stolen jewelry, we are requesting that a crime bulletin with pictures, descriptions, and any serial numbers be completed on high dollar or distinct jewelry cases. If the diamonds have GIA certification (Gemological Institute of America), the GIA should be notified so they can put the serial number in their stolen diamond system in case the diamond is submitted for re-certification. All stolen watches with serial numbers should also be entered in the NCIC Automated Stolen Property System."
This is a small, but significant step for DCWC to build on our community partnership with our local LAPD Central Station and now at Headquarters with the head of the Commercial Crimes Division.
With the decades-long effort of David Marcus who has entrenched DCWC's relationship with LAPD, today's club is afforded a variety of opportunities to expand on our community partners to help the DCWC community with safety.

It seems like Rapnet is continuously looking to raise its prices without increasing any benefits. For example, a Buyer's subscription no longer has the ability to list any diamonds.
With so many jewelry stores that on occasion buy from the public and then list their diamonds on Rapnet at amazing deals, why would Rapnet choose to take away their ability to offer those deals at their normal subscription?
Instead, they would have to spend almost double to upgrade to a Dealer subscription. Now more than ever I question why more people don’t join Get-Diamonds instead.
Currently, you can get a subscription to Get-Diamonds for free. Surely Rapnet knows this yet chooses to keep increasing their subscription prices.
