A Manhattan man’s $95,000 Patek Philippe watch was ripped off his wrist by bike-riding thieves on Wednesday, the victim told police. The unidentified victim, 30, was sitting in his car, smoking a cigarette with his arm out the window, when two or three me...

Tony would have heard of PP - seems pretty proud of his Rolx to me - plus who is ever going to steal from a Soprano/

Remember the story about the purse-snatcher . . .

. . . who mugged a Mafioso's mom? When he was arrested and found out who he'd mugged, he went into shock. And later, he had the living daylights beat out of him in jail. ;-)

30 year old kid. Smoking in his car. Past midnite. Hanging out in the far East Village, not too far from sketchy areas. You’d have to be wearing some bling to want to get noticed...

Best thing about being in countries with right-hand drive cars is having your watch hand safe

No way someone can bump your mirror and then rip your watch off when you open the window to flip the mirror back.

Word of advice

I recently had my property in an affluent area of Central London forcefully broken into via the front door in broad daylight and my property ransacked. I called the police and was shocked at their response and downright comical handling of the situation. ... 

sadly

crimes in the UK which were always investigated are now by and ;large recorded by the police but no action is taken. In crimes like burglary it appears that only a tiny percentage are investigated of which very few result in anybody been arrested or charg... 

Terribly sorry to hear that but anything less than a murder is unlikely to get seen to.

It has come to the point that you would actually be grateful for not being physically harmed by the criminals. They are running the country, literally!

Unfortunately, 2018 was the year I stopped wearing my watches fully open in London.

It doesn't matter if you can look after yourself well, the potential attacks can happen at any corner, in any area, at any time of the day. I'm not so much worried about my watch being stolen, I'm more worried about my watch getting damaged in the fight. ... 

Sadly getting common.

That kind of situation has been happening here (Spain) for more than ten years. I know a few people that have lived this unpleasant situation as a victim. In Ibiza, where people like to show off a lot, specially during summertime, many high end watches ha... 

30 years old? Patek Philippe? Gee, unfortunate thing to a fortunate guy.

Safety is always best. Especially in the middle of the night!
