Well guys, this isn't a nice post

Myself and Andrea returned home yesterday after getting some jabs done for our holiday next week, to find the front door of our home smashed through. Low & behold, my beloved Bluesy has been taken, along with my older and non expensive dress watches. They also found the box and papers for Bluesy, and also the paper and box for my Pepsi GMT (which I was wearing). So I now have an incomplete GMT II.

Laptop also gone with all our holiday photo's etc on (they weren't backed up) + Andrea's jewellery, 2 mobiles, and a few other bits.

I've reported it to Rolex, and will put the serial number up here shortly.

A sad day.

Not good news Dan, I hope you are insured, although this will n ot replace the sentimental value.
At leats no one was hurt.

Baptistman · 13 February 2008, 11:17 PM

I can't believe it, St Albans is a nice area to. Here's hoping they are caught. Will keep eyes open.

I'm so sorry, just before your break (Although no times a good time) All I can say is, at least no-one was hurt.

All the very best

Robb · 13 February 2008, 11:17 PM

Dan,

Thats terrible!!!!! Im so sorry to hear it. I hope everything turns out okay!!! I wish there was some way to help!!

TDH · 13 February 2008, 11:19 PM

Wow! My sympathies go out to you and your family and I hope these items were insured. Good luck with notifying Rolex and I really do hope you can get your watch and valuables back.

Dan Pierce · 13 February 2008, 11:23 PM

Sorry to hear that Dan.

Hope you get some kind of satisfaction.

CEG · 13 February 2008, 11:26 PM

I am insured, and my watches separetely.

Yes Jon, St.Albans is lovely, however I am 99% sure that someone had a tip off and came for the watch...

I think I know who as well, but no way to prove

travellingbrit · 13 February 2008, 11:26 PM

Just gutted for you Mate....lets hope the f4%kwitts are caught......

Any chance of a nice insurance payout to replace ?.....gotta look on the bright side .....

Peter Messmore · 13 February 2008, 11:27 PM

Dan,So sorry to hear that,I hope they catch the scum,hang in there,Peter

I would think I should just get a new watch, and cash for lap top etc..

funlab · 13 February 2008, 11:32 PM

that sucks - i hope the dirtbag(s) that did this to you find a huge helping of bad karma waiting for them sometime soon. what goes around, comes around!

unclesallie · 13 February 2008, 11:32 PM

Dan: What a shame. Having your 'stuff' stolen is one level; having your privacy invaded is another. Glad you have insurance, and on the 'suspect', I think a nice visit from the local police detective will at least put him or her on notice that they've been noticed, and will give them visibility with the police.
best, dan

jac67 · 13 February 2008, 11:36 PM

Dan, that really sucks.

That is why I only keep ONE watch at home at any one time, and it's usually on my wrist.

At least you are insured, so not all is lost. A real pity about B&P's for the GMT.

I truely hope you get a good result from this.

John.

SPACE-DWELLER · 13 February 2008, 11:36 PM

Sorry to hear about that, Dan! You have my deepest sympathy!

I hope that you were at least well insured?

But it must be an awful feeling to know that strangers have broken into your home.

bgriz · 13 February 2008, 11:42 PM

So sorry that happened.

pnefan · 13 February 2008, 11:45 PM

Really sorry to hear about that Dan, it's a horrible thing to happen

frostie · 13 February 2008, 11:48 PM

Sorry to hear that Dan

Hope that everything will be ok from now on

Hi Dan - Sorry to hear about your situatuation..

I hope the Insurance does'nt mess you about with things.
I also hope you know some people - who can pay the 'suspect' a visit after things have been sorted....

'Investigations' underway.

Chris B · 14 February 2008, 12:30 AM

Sorry to hear Dan, that's terrible news.

Did you have an intruder alarm & they ignored it?

topcat30093 · 14 February 2008, 12:38 AM

Dan, sorry to hear the sad news, it must be everybodys worst fear.
I too hope that the insurance company pays out quickly, so that you can start the research and the hunt for a replacement.

Lisa · 14 February 2008, 12:44 AM

Oh, dear. How awful. And this just days after we had the thread about insurance, and how to protect valuables, and how thieves know where to look and what to take....

I am so sorry for you.

BLSampson · 14 February 2008, 12:52 AM

Dan,
The important thing is you and your better half are safe. You have insurance and can replace Bluesey. The bright side, if there is one, is that you now get to participate in the "HUNT" for Bluesey's replacement. Please keep us informed.

Exactly

Bad as this is...things could always be worse. Let the insurance company do their thing and enjoy the hunt for your new Rolex

jasonbellevue · 14 February 2008, 01:09 AM

That's awful news Dan! I'm sorry to hear that. We were once victims of a similar incident, somebody smashed the window of our SUV and grabbed our golf bags and camera. It was the first and last time we would leave something valuable in our vehicle, we had never felt so violated in our life. We were just visiting the area. I hope things turn out well for you and Andrea.

fear · 14 February 2008, 01:13 AM

That's sucks. I hope the police catch the crook!

kcmo · 14 February 2008, 01:17 AM

Just terrible Dan. I'm glad that you and your wife weren't home when it happened!

BTSinAustin · 14 February 2008, 01:24 AM

Oh my, that is such bad news. I hope they catch the scumbags.

CEG · 14 February 2008, 01:28 AM

I don't think I'll be 'choosing' another Rolex, I would think that they will eventually just replace Bluesy. Hey maybe it'll be an M series with CRB so a touch different. My policy states new for old - so fingers are crossed it gets sorted.

Thanks for your support guys - much appreciated and needed !!

I think worse than all of it, is the muddy footprints of an intruder on my cream carpets - just a reminder that some low life SCUM has been in MY home. Just horrid.
