I am very sorry to read this Kari!

 

My initial take would be that the watch somehow fell out of his bad during security check, perhaps as laptop was taken out etc... it is very easily done and if one has a dishonest person behind in line easy to pick up something that looks like it could contain something of value.

When asking a trusted friend and something like this happens I am not sure there is anyone to blame. Could have happened to anyone I suppose... it is a terrible situation for everyone involved I bet. Your wife for losing the watch she enjoyed so much, for your friend who had an unfortunate situation as a result of trying to help out, and of course for you especially due to the service situation... I may try to call the airport if not already done so and see if security lost and found has anything that fits your description. The amount of items they are left with is quite astounding as people rush to catch planes and leave all sorts of things behind unintentionally!

I hope there will be a good end to this! Best, K
