Sorry to hear about this. Hope you were insured. This is becoming more prevalent news on TRF.

File a complaint with the cops. Do you have the serial #'s? Hopefully you have renters insurance as well, which should cover it.

1) Police report.

2) Call your insurance and file a claim.

3) Call Rolex to report the stolen serials.

4) Post the stolen serials online so that no one else buys them.

5) Go buy new Rolexes.

Contact Rolex at St James's Square in London and report the details to them.

No doubt they will require serial numbers and possibly proof of purchase.

Let us know what they say.

That is terrible news! I know how it feels S I’ve had a couple Rolex watches stolen before as well. That would be your best route now as stated above

I am very sorry to hear this. I have nothing more to say, other than what you have already been told. Good luck.

Hope you were insured! Most Homeowners and Renters won't cover only up to a small amount... you need a Valuable Personal Property Insurance Policy.

Sorry to hear about your trouble. Hope you'll be fine. Read about three separate stolen accidents in the past month here on TRF. Makes me obtain policy for my watches. My home insurance covers only $5k in jewelry.

Is it possible that posting on TRF leaves an electronic trail (ip#, username, isp account etc) that thrives could potentially use to target an address?

I check most used Rolex dealers in the North West daily to see what new stock they have in. Including Pawn Shops and Auctions.

Obviously you called the police and they advised you what to do right? I think we need some details on your theft to give you more detailed advice.

Everyone's nightmare. Sorry to hear. Constant use of an inconveniently located/accessable safe is paramount. Make life difficult for the lowlife POSes. CCTV has come a long way too.

I am very sorry to hear about that. Good advise above, my friend Anthony Fabiano has a pulse on the stolen watches. You can log them in his data base also if you like.

Sorry to hear that hope you can claim in your insurance. After that go buy new ones or preowned ones.

Posting, in and of itself, isn’t tagged to your home address in the normal course of using a forum.

However, you can inadvertently leave a trail by attaching photo’s with intact EXIF if the device is providing location services. Plus photo’s of your car with the license plate visible. Or your office building in the background, or pictures of yourself with your car and home in the background.

90% of the time that isn’t your average thief’s mode of operation. Random car or home break-ins are the top cause of stolen property.

Thanks guys. Burgaled my house whilst at work. All 3 in the safe and they took the whole safe. Police just been over. Going to report to rolex tomorrow. All 3 insured. They’ve just found my safe in a nearby field - unopened and empty. Thanks for the help guys!

The best precaution is to not keep any watches at home.
