Sorry to hear! I would absolutely have insurance on a watch like that! Ugh, depressing.

Sad how the state of our world has come to this.

The need to insure everything is getting ridiculous. I know insurance is 'cheap' in the US but not so in other parts of the world. It's pretty high in some areas that after a few years of paying the premiums, you could actually go out and buy a new SS Rolex.

Ah, a rollie in the hay costs a rollie on the wrist.

If it truly is a organized theft ring,It won't be sold to your corner Pawn Shop.They work with high end Fence's that sell directly to Consumers.The person who buys the Watch may have no idea it's stolen until they send it for service.

I was able to get in touch with Hyde restaurant , fortunately they keep their videos for a year. Now I will have to push the detectives to go over the videos. I will have a picture of this b..ch all over the Internet . I will not give up until she's caught. To make things more interesting, I will offer a $5000 reward for anyone who could give me a lead to either get her or the watch. Guys, if you have nothing to do on your spare time, search the pawn shops for me as I'm acting alone on this. Thank you

Good on you. That should get the ball rolling. If I lived in LA I would love to assist.

Plaster her face in an old school WANTED poster with the reward shown. I did this a few years ago and caught my perp.

If you can put the poster in a local free paper even better.

Look her up on facebook using the name you have.

Craigslist the story.

The more this gets out in your community the greater the chance you get your watch back.

Your friend isn't involved in the recovery process? Is he putting up the reward?

Yes he is, he has friends that know local pawn shops. Since I was registered in this site, I'm helping him with the process.

locutus49 · 18 February 2016, 05:25 AM

Good point about the "friend."

It still saddens me to read stuff like this, believing people aren't out to get you. In the end you never know who you are dealing with.

MBYSF · 17 February 2016, 02:32 PM

Terrible terrible people out there

Ckci · 17 February 2016, 02:49 PM

Fortunately, I haven't had any contact with her.

The way this seems to have unfolded seems to suggest this was not her first rodeo.

She's ducking low now but will resurface.

Hairdude1 · 17 February 2016, 03:42 PM

Sucks to hear this, hope she is caught

avirom · 17 February 2016, 03:48 PM

what happens if the police catch the girl (which i really hope that they do) and she claims the chap gave it to her as a gift after they spent the night together....

how is the owner going to prove otherwise?

I don't think it's often or ever someone gives a girl from a bar $50k!

That's beyond reasonable...

IT Nerd · 17 February 2016, 04:59 PM

Scandalous .. sorry to hear!

stockjock1975 · 17 February 2016, 10:04 PM

Wow! I feel for this guy. Personally, I always want to believe people are inherently good and sometimes I don't keep my guard up enough. Stories like this shock me back to reality that the world can be a cruel place sometimes.

I hope he recovers his watch!!

sathwik · 17 February 2016, 10:05 PM

makes me wonder if she is viewing this thread too, and maybe get more details of investigation, places to search the watch etc.

Spartacus · 18 February 2016, 01:11 AM

Some very interesting articles out there...and it looks like many of the ladies are repeat offenders!

http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/...icle-1.2475733

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/br...217-story.html

There are a lot of stories like this, actually quite interesting. I think some of these guys are easily fooled into thinking their charm and looks are attracting these ladies...

Dom_Rellik · 18 February 2016, 02:02 AM

4 months ago at the Delano I was wing-man'ing for my pal. The girl with the girl he was with dropped something in my drink with the expectations of taking me back to my hotel and creeping my 116515 once I passed out.
I have a GF, I was wing-man'ing not looking to get some of my own so I bounced.
Luckily I have a place close because by the time I got home I was ready to sleep.
*woke up 60 minutes later sweating and feeling ill - once the drugs are in your blood stream there is no amount of sticking your finger down your throat that is going to save you.
** if you ever run into a russian girl who says she has a butterfly tattoo where you would most likely expect a total hoochie magoochie to have a butterfly tattoo - cover your drink and run!

Langnam · 18 February 2016, 02:08 AM

It's posts like these that make me thankful for the 28 happy years of my marriage.

Dang , there's a lot of trouble and temptation out there now.

In Far East I saw a documentary that it's actually quite common to drug n rob people of their watches and possessions - plenty of these scammers out there so not surprised the practice has moved across the pond into USA Europe. Some of these are conducted by highly organised gangs with multiple methods - being careful in this day and age is paramount I hope the sky dweller is recovered do you have any pics of it ?

KBM · 18 February 2016, 03:30 AM

Sad story. Good luck with recovering the watch!

Stuxnet · 18 February 2016, 04:11 AM

My friend wasn't as lucky. Met a girl at a bar. Yadda yadda yadda 3 months later they were married, and 12 months later they were getting divorced. He still has his Rolex, but she took almost everything else.

Ugh. Sometimes it seems one just can't win!

Guess I'll stick to watching (as in timepieces) watch porn and live vicariously through this website. I can fulfill all my fantasies and excitement without getting ripped off OR sick.

I will however likely still spend and 'lose' a lot of money as a result of all you enablers. Hahahahaahhah

JNun55 · 18 February 2016, 04:26 AM

Terrible... Good luck in finding her.

matbaj · 18 February 2016, 05:41 AM

the watch should have been insured by your friend second he let a stranger in and near the watch that costs so much, its more than a years of salary for most people. if this was some other 3rd world country they would chop your hand off for that watch.
