Sorry for your loss. I know the feeling, did not loose any watches but did loose some irreplacable valuables. It really is a very bad feeling. I did get a safe after that.

That's horrible!

Be sure to report the serial numbers to Police!

I hope they catch the burglars!

Terrible to hear, so sorry!

On the bright side nobody was injured and you and your family still have their health. I wish you the best in recovering/replacing your items.

Very very sorry to hear your news. We've been burgled before and it's the most horrible experience. My wife insisted we moved afterwards as she couldn't bear to be in the same house where a stranger had been!

I'm so sorry to hear this..It's very disturbing..You feel violated. As a retired police officer I responded to many calls like yours in my career. Most burglars want to get in & out of your home in less than 10 minutes. You can protect your valuables by purchasing some of those diversion safes which look like ordinary soup cans, hair spray. they even have some that look like electrical outlets that you can place in the wall & plug a lamp into it. Costco has small hotel safes like the ones that you get when you go on vacation in the rooms & they bolt into the studs of the wall & onto the closet shelf. No thief wants to spend the time trying to rip it out of the wall it just takes too much time.

Very sorry for the loss, but am happy you're unharmed....could have been sticky if you were home.

Get those watches registered with the Police and Rolex...you may get them back in a couple of years when the new 'owners' get them serviced!!

Sorry for your misfortune.
Happened to me once and the feeling of being violated is terrible.
Check some local pawn shops and ebay, you never know what may turn up.

Thanks for all of the kind words and support from the Rolex Forums members. You are the reason this forum is so popular. Most likely I will never get any of them back. If my luck changes I will surely post an update.
Thanks again.

Sorry for your loss, but on the bright side at least you're safe. Watches come and go luckily you weren't home though things could have taken a turn for the worst. Hopefully they get caught and you get your property back.
