    That’s absolutely insane. Hope you have some cameras in the hallways in your complex. I’ll keep an eye out at the swap meets in SoCal.

    So scary on levels beyond the theft. Someone in your house... I’m sorry.

    That’s devastating, so sorry to hear. I thought the Icelandic scammer was bad enough, but this is next level scumbaggery. :unsure:

    Shit. Hope this has a positive resolution.

    To give you some hope, we were in a flat while our house had renovations a few years ago and got burgled. I reported it to the police who cross referenced the area with known burglars and actually found the guy at home, with our things. He went to jail and we got everything back, so it can happen.

    Sad news but let’s hope for the best. For what it’s worth, you can register your watch at mystolenwatch.com or check out thewatchregister.com. There is a chance you might recover at least some of your watches. Good luck.

    Extremely sorry to hear that. Hope you have soon luck soon in being able to have them located. The moment for sure every watch collector dreads. Insurance is one thing, but replacement is very much another. :(

    Am located across the pond. But will keep an eye out this side.

    Dreadful news, let’s hope the scumbag left plenty of evidence on your safe and watch boxes. They’d be pretty foolish trying to sell on eBay , enough distinctive marks on some of those watches to be identifiable

    Lost for words Adam. There won't be a vintage Heuer that passes my eyes without scrutiny.

    I don't think any of us has any idea of how you feel at this time.

    And as this is only a virtual clubroom, and I'm not there to give you a man hug and a slap on the back, I can only give you a LIKE to show my sympathy/support.

    It’s hard to know what to say, losing such a great collection of watches which must have taken time and care to build up,(not to mention the cost). I hope you have success in getting them back.
