$2M jewelry heist in Mass. includes Giants' Super Bowl rings

Associated Press Writer / June 11, 2008
ATTLEBORO, Mass.?Thieves broke into a jewelry manufacturer over the weekend and stole up to $2 million in gold, gems and other valuables, including a number of New York Giants Super Bowl rings, police said.
The suspects disabled the alarm system at E.A. Dion Inc., cut a hole in the roof and made off with a safe that weighed at least 1,000 pounds.
The loss was discovered Sunday by a Dion employee, who went to the business when she was unable to access her work e-mail from home, apparently because phone lines had been cut. The heist could have taken place at any time over the weekend, Sgt. Jim Keane said Wednesday.
The Super Bowl rings, which were manufactured by the company, were to be given to the Giants staff to commemorate New York's 17-14 win over the New England Patriots in February, team spokesman Pat Hanlon said.
The white gold rings -- which were designed by Tiffany and Co. and valued at $25,000 -- were exactly the same as the ones players and coaches received last month.
The team's "NY" logo is set in round diamonds, while "World Champions" is emblazoned in raised letters on the top and bottom bezel, with channel-set diamonds on the left and right bezel. The rings also feature the team's three Super Bowl trophies.
The company does not discuss specific customer's orders, President Edward Dion Jr. said.
"We've talked to our major customers and let them know what happened, and I am confident we'll be able to fulfill our orders," he said.
The family-owned company, which has been in business for 40 years, was back up running at full speed and re-evaluating security, Dion said.
The case remains under investigation by Attleboro police with assistance from the FBI.

That, right there, is awesome sauce in a box. How many guys with some winch and pulley system would it take to hitch up and raise up a half ton safe from dead weight on a floor straight up to a roof?
