in a rush; hastily; hurriedly (Anglophile); hurryingly (Anglophile); in one’s haste; in everyone's haste; in all the commotion (Thieves stole more than $400,000 worth of gems and watches from the famed luxury jeweler Bulgari, and they entered the store through Rome's elaborate sewer system. It took police officers seven minutes to arrive at the scene and another four minutes to enter the barricaded door. That was just enough time for the burglars to retreat, once again, through Rome's complex web of underground sewers. In all the commotion, the group left behind a crowbar. No word yet on whether there are fingerprints on that crowbar, and it is not clear if that might lead to any of the jewels being recovered. (npr.org) ART Vancouver) |
