Sorry to hear. I hope they have some security cameras to review and they catch the dirt ball.

Sorry to hear that. It takes some gall to break into a locker and steal a watch. Sounds like he was targeted.

no security cameras in lockers due to privacy.
Sad story and agree with hrm that this would be targeted. I never leave my watch in the locker room. |

Sorry to hear that
I am in Toronto and will keep an eye out. I guess the lesson here is to keep the watch inside the car or office when going to the gym Sent from my SM-N960W using Tapatalk |

Man, that's heartbreaking. Also the reason why I never take mine off. Even when working out.

That’s sad to hear. I will keep a lookout as well.
On hindsight, never take off the watch when outside the home. Office and car ain’t safe anymore as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great looking watch
Your friend must be sick. No cameras even at reception door to try & catch someone in the timeframe ( hopefully a non member who sticks out) |

Crosspost on Reddit r/toronto, USD2K is enough for the thief to come forward. Easier money than fencing the watch IMO

That’s horrible man. Hope he gets it back. I’m sure the dirt bag will be selling.

Very sorry to hear, but hopefully it will serve as a lesson to us all. In cases like that I'm pretty sure this watch won't ever be on the market. Seems like he was targeted by someone who goes to the gym and knows about watches. That someone probably paid a dirt bag to open the locker and steal if for him, who'll either keep the watch or sell it very privately. Same thing happens with vintage cars.

You don’t need to pay employee to open up a locker. It’s a simple tactic, call the employee that you forgot the combination, most lockers use combination, the employee should ask to identify what’s inside first and then describe the personal items (color bags, jackets, shirt, etc) the person was wearing and even the watch. Therefore, the thief was eyeing on him. |

Nothing worse than thieves and people who hurt children. Sorry your friend had to be a victim of a scum bag.

That truly sucks. Patrol the local pawn shops and kijiji/craigslist listings - you may get lucky.
I haven't been taking my watches to the gym for that very reason - people been breaking into lockers/posing as "forgotten code/or lost key etc." around here (Vancouver) as well. All the best.

Ouch...that hurts!! Dumb question...but has he made a police report? From what I understand, pawn shops have to hold on to their merchandise for a period of days for this very reason.

This has gained a lot of social media attention, hopefully it helps reunite the watch with the owner.
Thieve's are POS

Have your friend report it to the police ASAP. This is required for any insurance claim.
