So what’s the point of a PI if a police detective wasn’t able to get anywhere with the information provided by the watchregister?

In any case all of the watches were stolen without any box or papers (which I still have). Who knows where my watches will end up? Regardless, all the serial numbers are registered with Rolex as stolen. Also in other databases such as watchregister for the non Rolex watches.
This whole experience has really turned me off to watch collecting. Our house it fortified now.

I too have often wondered this.

My friend was robbed 4 months ago in front of his home. Police said he was followed from a restaurant. He fought back, when he noticed he was stabbed. Thank god he’s ok. Unfortunately, his Wimbledon was taken off his wrist. He had it insured, and replaced the Wimbledon with a SS Submariner Date.

Fast forward 4 months later, the robbers were caught. They had robbed several people of their wristwatches. I hope they receive, and serve a long sentence, then deported.

When you do bad, or harm others, you will get caught.

Then the DA lets you free on cashless bail. Thank God for elections!

I’m also curious what other steps the LAPD can take in this investigation. They sent someone from forensics but couldn’t really get any prints since most of our furniture and fixtures is wood.

RSC Beverly Hills is closed

wow, very sorry to hear of your loss, thanks to the garbage local city govmts of socal.

Well too late now but try getting an under the ground safe, like the ones used by businesses and gas stations, something like this:

You need to have an acetylene torch to break into this. No other tools will work.

My safe is about 2x size of a carton of milk. It is installed in such a place that it is a hassle for me to go to it.
Many times I feel like wearing my rollies but the laziness of it makes me content with wearing my GSHOCK....
The main thing is if you find it...even if you do, you will not be in a normal body position to even touch it...
Lets say your spine will go into a figure 8 for you to even touch it....
My wife has to give me a 3 day advanced warning so I can warm myself up to access it...

Didn’t realize that the RSC in BH was closed. Regardless, the watches were reported stolen to Rolex through other means. They have an email for it.

And you’re right, I heard from the police detective that the LAPD is underfunded and these burglars and frequently let off witb just a citation, especially by our previous lousy DA who has now been replaced.

Someone was definitely watching the house when this happened and waited for to break in during a short window of time. The only other solution is a strong neighborhood watch. When I think back about it, it’s still incredible to believe that at least 2 people just left our house with a heavy safe and no one noticed.
