I once worked on a documentary about some drug users and what they shoplifted was valued on street at one third of retail value. But it was items like champagne and aftershave, stuff that could be hawked in pubs. Some very hot Rolex watches are a different proposition. But they could end up anywhere I guess....

Sad. Hope they were insured. And hope the thieves get long prison sentences.

But for Rolex it is like more free advertising as it highlights the desirability of the brand.
