Three men dealt a blow to Loghman Jewelers that has caused owner Alan Loghman to offer huge sales on his merchandise and close the store after 11 years in the village. Two men came into the business at 7884 Girard Ave. around noon on Wednesday, Dec. 9 to shop for watches as an accomplice apparently drank beer nearby. One of the men later returned to purchase the watch after Loghman had stepped out, leaving his 79-year-old uncle to handle the sale. As Loghman’s uncle checked the price on the $55,000 watch, the man hit the shopkeeper in the face and stole the watch, according to Loghman. His uncle was left unconscious and suffered a broken nose that has to be surgically repaired. “I don’t feel safe enough to stay,” Loghman said. “I don’t want to come in to find someone dead for jewelry.” Police are still searching for the three suspects, described as light-skinned Mexican men. Loghman Jewelers has been robbed before but no one was ever assaulted. Three years ago someone grabbed a handful of diamond earrings and ran, and six years ago someone took off with a diamond watch. “People get robbed but assault is unacceptable,” Loghman said. “This kind of animal needs to be behind bars. They didn’t have to attack a 79-year-old man when they know there’s nothing he can do.” The holidays have not brought much cheer for Loghman, who said business has not picked up despite the season. Plus, Loghman still has two years left on his lease and is seeking a tenant. Loghman doesn’t plan to take his jewelry store elsewhere. Instead, he will focus on his other profession as a mechanical engineer and owner of Pacific Design & Construction. Loghman’s brother will continue to run the jewelry store at Del Mar Plaza.
