I… am so confused….

[Brenngun]

What's the odds that a thief takes the chance of breaking into a car, stealing a bag but doesn't go through it thoroughly enough to find this watch. I mean it's not like they stood beside the car while searching the bag. They would have had plenty of time to pull everything out and search every pocket. Just a crazy story if this all ends up as it currently seems to line up. Good luck OP but please be careful.

According to the new member who found the backpack, the backpack was not stolen but rather lost. Lost how, I don't know. Maybe OP left it on the side of the road somehow?

The finder guy does a basic search and the magic of technology. Search term at the top, result at bottom of screen grab.

But the finder claims that he is tech incapable?

I'm skeptical by nature and training/experience but these two facts are in misalignment.

There's still holes in the story. But don't misunderstand - I hope each and every stolen Rolex gets reunited with its proper owner.

Just don't wear a different Rolex when you go to pick up the first one...

The finder would have to be a WIS to even think to Google the serial number of the watch.

If today was April 1, this story would make perfect sense.

Cruising down Route 88, I see a wet and nasty backpack, think I'll pull over and check it out. Oh my!!! A discovery Rolex! Let me go on a website and see if anyone has posted about this being missing.

Yeah, this all fits together very nicely.

Wear that Rolex.

[EEpro]

I think I'd go get my watch. And then punch the guy in the face for stealing it and breaking my window

But that's internet Brad. I'd probably just shuffle my feet and thank him in real life.

- Two brand new users. [Check]
- One lost a Daytona, the other 'found' it [Check]
- Not able to 'communicate' [Check]

[Easy Rhino]

So what's the payoff here?

Faux drama?

Not necessarily true. Guitar players google serial numbers to see if the guitar is real or stolen.

So you’re saying there’s a chance!

[GGGMT]

Everyone realizes that we’re getting plunked with , right??

On a positive note, I’m glad everyone’s faith in humanity is running high!

Whatever the case OP and everyone.....

Remember when Neil Peart (drummer/percussionist for Rush) lost his Patek? Was in his motorcycle side storage and it fell off. Good people found the case and a number to call....

Would the average person know where to locate the serial number on a Rolex?

[spacebjorn]

Yeah... this can't be real life.

Nope

[Al1969]

Let's see some "proof of life" for the lost Daytona. Can the owner and the 'finder of the lost' post some pics?

Like others here, I remain skeptical.

great story!!!

in my life time, i've lost my wallet 3 times and they were always returned to me intact.
I've found woman's purses and bags and men's wallet and i've always returned them to the owners.

Lucky you say....Karma....just blessed..yeah and lucky!

one of the times i was getting divorced, it took 21 months, i was homeless, living anywhere i could and broke. I found a ladies bag at a grocery store parking lot in a grocery cart. It was full of cash ($500), $30 worth of quarters, a blank check signed with no name on signed to the order, a social security card, insurance card and a drivers license. I was broke but i couldnt keep it. I went to the address on the license, she didnt live there any more but they were able to find her. Ohhh she was shocked and so happy and she tried to give me some of her money but i couldnt take it...i told her that if she ever found something that wasn't hers to pay it forward...because i have lost and somehow it has been returned back to me...Karma Man!!!

That's my point, a non-guitar player wouldn't think to do that, like a non-WIS wouldn't think to Google a watch's serial number.

To the tune of Hotel California

Discovery: Daytona

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Need a drink and a pit stop
But no need to despair
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a red bulls eye
My range grew short and my bladder full
Had to stop for a bite

As I stood in the doorway
I heard the Tesla bell
And I was thinking to myself
"I thought I locked it, but I couldn’t tell"
Still I stepped into Target
Then a coke and a pee
When I got back to the Tesla, dear
What then did I see?

Welcome to the lost Rolex Daytona
Valuable quarry
Unlikely story
There’s plenty of hope in the Rolex Forums postings
But we can’t deny
Probably all a lie

Serial searching on Google
finder of the lost
Sees a thread and responds in kind
Unaware of the cost
And then he’s calling the owner, not far away
You can meet me down in Placerville
Discovery: Rolex

I'm still hoping this story is legit. I keep following this thread in hopes of a happy ending. OP, please keep us posted!
