Guy who looks like he should be a villain in a Bond movie arrested for stealing $100,000 ring

Still no word on the fate of a pair of $87,000 earrings stolen sometime in August or September from the same Shreve, Crump and Low.
Innocent, etc.

"When the clerk handed the ring over, Bartel allegedly ran out of the store and into the mall parking lot where he drove off in a green Jeep."
No, no no! The villain must either 1) gas the clerk, laser blind the cameras, rip off his rubber mask, and blend into the crowd, 2) palm the ring, substitute a clever fake and blend into the crowd or 3) pull out a four foot long machine gun/rocket launcher/grenade lobber and kill everyone in the crowd. None of this running off like a pussy leaving fingerprints and DNA and eyewitnesses. I am afraid that the League of Calamitous Intent is rejecting your application for membership. Good day, sir.
Yeah, come to think of it
He looks more like a henchman or minion (think Jaws) than an Evil Overlord.
Ah, took the words off of my fingertips...
plus, only a goofy & stupid minion would steal something so expensive he'd have a slim chance of selling it & then top it all off by turning himself in!
If a mall jewelry store
If a mall jewelry store hands over a $110K ring to any random yahoo who walks in... I think much of that $110K must be overhead for their insurance premiums.
