The problem is international
A gang here in the UK were travelling around only targeting the footballers and wealthy for their watches and jewelleries. They raided their homes with sledge hammer and weapons while the occupants were inside- children and all. It must have been frightening to be raided like that. I believe some of the gang members have been caught but unlikely they will get the appropriate punishment. The problem is that crime pays and that's why they take the risk.
Which is why I mostly wear my...
green plastic Timex. You want it? You can have it : )
Terrible times
Messed up what people do these days. It’s worse when it’s getting more and more common
Oh, it's becoming....
at least a weekly occurance, some places are bordering on daily........=/
100%
They didn't even catch them, and if they did they'd just let them go to find someone else to rob........ They didn't even charge the assailant on Dave Chappelle who wielded a knife with a felony!........ Crazy World.
Here in Seattle..
I know someone that was shot 5 times and the assailant was released on bail same day, because why she lived so it couldn’t be brought up as a murder charge? So because she didn’t die I guess it’s not serious enough to keep the guy behind bars? Stupid is w...
I couldn't agree more.
Alas, I am stuck in SoCal foreseeably due to my two solid sources of income, but my brother is moving to Florida this summer.... Let's just say I will be closely following and checking out what his experience is like making a life for himself over there.....
Well hopefully it works out for you and your brother🙏
I have family in Miami and they LOVE it!!
Exactly.
I already applied for my CCW with the Sheriff's department, we'll see what they say come Fall........ Cheers, Filip
Reason #9 for eventually moving to Washington . . .
. . . is that it's a shall issue state. The utter lawlessness of California is getting to be ridiculous. Art
Terrible news . Its all over the world nowadays and especially hot spots
Spoils the fun of our hobby imho.
Exactly,
flashy sports cars are only for driving from point A to point B and knowing you will be leaving the car parked in a safe garage space........
Although this may not be happening to every other person that visits LA, NYC, ETC
It happens enough that given the option I venture down to NYC (I was born and raised in Manhattan) for necessities only…why should I (and especially my wife) stick my neck out? I have three black belts and weapons training but who needs this kind of hassl...
That is also true,
Just that this particular instance didn't necessarily leave me with such an impression! Cheers, Filip
I’m with kjkt3.
Lost Hills is nowhere near Malibu, or the ocean. And being a dot on the map it’s unlikely to have its own law enforcement.
The Lost Hills Sheriff's department....
serves Malibu and the surrounding Santa Monica Mountains area as Malibu hasn't had its own Sheriff office for a while now.... There are currently considerations as to potentially establishing a new Sheriff's office in Malibu, I think that would be an exce...

a firearm, and thankfully I don't live in a state that puts the criminal before the law abiding citizen. Just saying. ...
100%
If I end up getting my CCW this Fall, I will get myself one of the supremely cool SIG P210 Carry 9MM guns which have recently been introduced to the US market.... Nice combo! Cheers, Filip
SF Bay Area is WORSE!
The thefts in San Francisco Bay Area is worse. It’s a revolving door for criminals with no recourse by the DAs and politics that turn a blind eye to crimes. Oakland and San Francisco have been hit very hard with gangs using 12-13yr old minors to commit cr...
expedit ut dolor
for those who don't speak Latin-- It pays to be smart. If you think you are safe travelling with an expensive timepiece anywhere now , you have much to learn If you can't afford to lose it , don't wear it. We used to have gatherings were we displayed our ...

If I step out of my Toyota Prius Prime wearing a very expensive watch, nobody will bother me.
It was not the watch that made him a target, it was the car.
Maybe
Rolex (for me) always seemed like an “I’m a rich guy that needs to flash my wealth” brand. And they are super liquid and easily fenced. So it’s not so surprising they would go after it. If he was wearing an Eichi or a Lange they probably would have pistol...
LoL x)
As bad as it is to laugh at this situation, it's absolutely true as well........
To be clear
I’m not laughing at the situation. But it’s true that Rolex is synonymous with wealth amongst the public. I think if you put a person wearing a Roger smith or Dufour and a person wearing a sea dweller in a lineup and asked a man on the street to pick the ...
In total agreement here as well....
Part of the reason why I still drive a twelve year old Ford truck instead of buying a brand-new $70+K F-150.... That and the fact that I don't own any yellow or rose gold watches which can draw some attention by themselves....
I keep putting on my first watch.
A TAG hoping I can call the insurer telling them it was stolen LOL
Hahaha :)
Your Monaco is one of the timeless TAGs. I absolutely loved my Monza.... Cheers, Filip
