I'll echo others sentiments and say first and foremost I'm glad everyone is ok. That's what is truly important. Scary thing is, this happens daily all over the world. Actually, it happens all over the USA on a daily basis as I'm sure Cop414 and others that work in law enforcement can tell you. Hopefully it all works out as well as it possibly can. Did you have your watch insured?

This.

That is crazy and sad! I'm glad that for the most part you're OK.

jbshaffer · 9 September 2014, 03:43 PM

And again, thanx very much for the kind thoughts.

SearChart · 9 September 2014, 04:57 PM

I'm very sorry to hear about this, I'm glad you and your family are physically ok.

Jeffex · 9 September 2014, 08:32 PM

What the hell !!! Glad to hear everyone is safe!!! Hope they nail the culprits!

Scot_3 · 9 September 2014, 10:07 PM

probably shouldn't break in and rob the place then... Break in my house and the last thing I'm thinking about is the intruders recovery time...

Several years ago (4, maybe 5) this same scenario happened to my neighbor in Turks. He, his wife and 2 children, rented a house and it was invaded by armed thugs who tied them up and took all that they could grab. The family was emotionally scarred but physically unharmed.
I went there two years ago and stayed in an all-inclusive resort that I never left. I don't think I'll ever go back. It's a beautiful island along the coast with some of the most colorful water I've ever seen. The airport is really 3rd world; the worst I've ever been to. All in all, there are far better, and certainly safer, places to vacation.

Glad everyone is safe. Very sorry that you had to go through this.

Jbranda · 10 September 2014, 02:30 PM

Wow definitely surprisng. I go there every year!

Sounds like the resorts may be a safer bet

My house alarm is always on at night and the company has a distress code - god forbid this were to occur, perhaps we could assume that police would be on their way.

Sorry to hear of your experience.

Contact the seller?

Good find!

I just sent him a message to let him know he is selling a stolen watch. Hopefully others follow.

NKflyer · 14 March 2015, 04:44 AM

I was thinking it would be better NOT to warn the seller!

Seller may or may not know it is stolen. If he knew it was stolen, I don't think he'd put the serial number out like that.

Headshrinker · 14 March 2015, 05:10 AM

I wish you and your family the best in your time of healing.

rr-nyc · 14 March 2015, 06:48 AM

Seller has a good history so clearly not the thief himself but I'd be interested to know how he came into possesion of it.

Cops can get involved and get the watch back. Stolen property is stolen property

cop414 · 14 March 2015, 07:06 AM

Auction now showing the watch as being sold,,,

Dr.Brian · 14 March 2015, 09:28 AM

It used to be such a quiet relaxing place.
Stay safe.

rr-nyc · 14 March 2015, 11:20 PM

I sent the eBay seller about the circumstances and a link to this.

He responded this morning saying that he received a similar message and thought it was a scam at first. Now that a couple people contacted him, he's intrigued.

Im hoping that he has info to lead to the thief

Update: he sent me another message saying he's going to the local police with a copy of this forum and any additional info he has
