This is, without a doubt, one of the greatest CCTV videos I've ever seen.

A gang of six masked thieves on motorbikes—and it's important to note that this is NOT THE FILMING OF A MOVIE—rode onto the top floor of a Brent Cross shopping center in north London, wielding axes and bats while breaking into a jewelry store in the middle of the day. Can you imagine seeing this while shopping at J. Crew? "Eh, not sure if I can afford this button-down, WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?"

Here's another view, taken from a cell-phone camera. It's really loud, but you do get to hear that awesome British habit of saying "Sorry" for things you shouldn't really be sorry for. "Have they gone yet?" asks one woman. "No, sorry," says the other. Apologizing for a crew of robbers undertaking a daytime heist in the middle of the mall. Whatta country.
