Rolex Robbers

The Main Street Schlanderer's was robbed before, in 2002, and a former South University location was hit in 1993. Unlike the South U robbery, when owner Paul Schlanderer was pistol-whipped, this time "no one was hurt," says Chuck Schlanderer, Sr. Sitting at his usual seat behind the back counter a few days later, fixing a watch, Schlanderer would say no more: "Our insurance company doesn't want us to talk." As the Observer went to press, the AAPD's investigation was continuing, but no arrests had been made.
