Watches stolen in London early December : REWARD

[inadeje]

Very sorry to read about your losses OP. They’re all beautiful pieces, and I am sure you worked hard both to buy them and build such a diverse collection.

I hope they appear soon and you did the right thing posting here with the serial numbers and details. You’ve just thrown up a roadblock for these thieves and will significantly slow down or even stop the transfer of these watches to other parties.

Sorry to hear about this. Hope you had insurance.

Another "drive-by" initial post with no OP follow-up.

Conspiracy theory: They actually aren't the OP's watches - maybe it is a scheme to try to sabotage someone who has them or is trying to sell them privately.

It's quite amusing how these type of threads always seem to take on a life of their own.

It's very much accurate. Check YouTube and you'll see it. It's an electronic billboard telling you to cover up valuables in public. London being the capital city has always had a much higher crime rate for the fact it's the capital. I can only summise the gap between rich and poor getting ever wider and organised crime is the perfect breading ground for an increase in street robberies.

Is it on par with the mess in Paris?
I always assumed London was about like NYC but I've never felt unsafe wearing a watch in NY.
