Was there any evidence to support this? The watch? The “package” etc?
Waiting to see if he ends up sending it through.

I asked him to take a full video of the watch going into the package and being handed over, which he claims he did.

Looks like a package was sent, but did it contain the watch in question? Still plenty of unanswered questions, this case is far from closed...

I don't see how having his hand forced to return stolen goods is "making things right". I've been ripped off once, and whilst I did eventually get my money back I was definitely down on the whole experience. Hours and hours lost chasing and plenty of stress. I think his attitude stinks.

He sent a video, where you cannot see the watch at all at any point, being packed.

I guess the lies roll on, 80-90% expecting to see another $10 worthless piece of junk when in comes the mail.

Hey, Guarnteed.rohu,

Wikipedia has a page ‘Media of Iceland’ with some external links I dare say that there might be a reporter interested in your story, should you want/need to share at some stage?

just a thought.

Definitely thanks for the heads up!

Ironically Stefan Birgir Stefansson works at a magazine (albeit as a developer) 'Icelandic Review'.

To me there is a distinct lack at attempts of denial or association. If I wanted to clear my name I would be more open and respond to this thread to at least attempt to get my side over (assuming I'm innocent of any wrong doing of course). Especially odd whilst he/she carries on viewing other thread and the sales section... I remain cynical of this "redress" and call BS!!
My expectations for a positive result from that package are low indeed. Happy to proved wrong and really hope I am!

I need @guaranteed.rohu to make one of those situation boards that the cops on TV use, one with photos of suspects and coloured string between the people/clues/events. The more colours the better.

That'll be the only way I'll be able to figure out who the heck is who!

😵‍💫

As a former criminal lawyer I would advice @guaranteed.rohu to join interpol.

Can people please remind me never to get a issue with @guaranteed.rohu?

yeah, an internet article or magazine as special review on "how a watch thief was caught" would be an interesting read.

Sociopaths like this lie as easily as they breathe, and almost as frequently. I was 30 years old before I became aware that such people exist, and it took me a while to truly accept what I was experiencing.

Perhaps this thread is putting some pressure on him, I hope so. Unfortunately he has probably been in and out of trouble his whole life and he’s accustomed to wriggling out of it.

I think that you should continue to name and shame until you receive the watch back, if the scumbag hasn't sent the watch you have to start the process again.

Keep the pressure on until you have your watch back and this guy is locked up and someone loses the key to his cell

If the watch comes back I wouldn't delete his name, win-win.
