Stolen watch registry...lots of updates

If you are in certain parts on the US northeast and god forbid you get robbed shoot me a pm I have several decent law enforcement connections unfortunately my best one, who is currently a captain is retiring soon heading to Arizona to enjoy his retirement but we are pretty good buddies and i showed him some of the “stolen” watch posts here last time we hung out. He got a little hung up on the poor guy who had all the watches stolen in California but he said he couldn’t do much on that one but he told me while he is not into watches he knows what the mean to people. He even offered me one of his that was inscribed when he made sergeant way back but I refused it I told him to give it to a family member or when he does move if he still wants to get rid of it let’s agree on a value. They guy insists I speed when I go through his town and told me to have them call him if I get pulled over. Anyway just want to put that out as at least I can try but I hope no one needs to contact me and we are all safe with a little watches. This particular cop was involved in capture a young couple who were knocking over jewelry stores (armed) and focusing on stealing watches and diamonds he said he got the stores back 80% of their inventory and also reunited a handful of Rolex and Patek owners that the pair had robbed from individuals in other states. I guess they had a murder amongst them, it was a big bust and helped him make captain. Ok this is getting to long to read you get my point though sorry about the ramble

I’m in the early stages of considering a pre-owned modern railmaster. I haven’t picked one out, but for when I do, other than the Alphahands registry ( https://alphahands.com/faq/stolen-watch-registry-database/ ) where else would someone look to see if a watch they were considering was stolen?

Generally, I avoid them if they’re inside a trench coat…

If you see “DK” in sharpie on the back, think twice.
