Anyone interested?

Sad news... my wife is a victim of a drive by shooting. The car that shot her fled away. I need to pay some bills and therefore i am selling my 2 watches in the classified section. It is an Explorer II and a Cartier santos. I would love to keep them but I can't for now. Anyone interested in buying the watches please pm me for your offers. Thanks

She was shot two times. one went through her hair and the other at shoulder. I almost stood dead myself when I came and saw her car with 2 bullet holes on the driver side window. The good thing is she is alive...

I'm very sorry to hear about this situation.

As always the forum does not get involved in the selling of watches, save to say that anyone, either purchasing or selling any watches over the internet must exercise appropriate care and safeguards to ensure they do not result with an unsatisfactoy outcome.

This thead is now being transferred to the 'open forum'.

it happened in southern california. I guess it can happen anywhere if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time! But where is the right place and the right time? We all have to go somewhere to do what we have to do.

Going from california to southern california really hasn't narrowed it down much.

I'd really like to know the exact location, the time and date this shooting occurred.......there might in fact be members on the forum, their friends and relatives that can provide identification assistance to catch the villain/s.

Please name the actual police department and the name of the investigating police officer who might be contactable in relation to this investigation.

Was thinking the same thing. Did it occur in Los Angeles? If so, whereabouts, and what department or precinct is handeling the investigation?

Shocking news indeed. Hope they catch the culprits and you can get back on your feet soon.

More importantly, hope and pray that your wife's injuries are not life-threatening and she can pull out of it soon. Please wish her a speedy recovery from all of us.

Best - JJ
