What a disheartening story!

If I read this correctly, the watch was last physically seen when it was put into the bag at your house. My guess would be that someone at security at the airport saw it when it went through the scanner, and quickly managed to sneak it out of the bag befo...
One possibility

Security personnel can see into the bag during the conveyer x-ray examination. I have read of incidents where security personnel have taken things from carry on bags while the owner was distracted while being physically searched. Hope it's recovered.
Basically a good idea but

Ivalo airport is a very small one, no queues when my colleagues went through the security check. When the bag is in x-ray, nobody can touch it and also if it's okay, it comes to the side where security is not working. The check of people is just walking t...

Finnish are very honest people(i mean born Finnish)for me it rather sounds an accidental loss than a s see what happens. I guess yr PD was surprised when you declared the value ,the italians got excited when my wife told them the approx price they asked ...

Sad story!

I hope you somehow recover the watch. I know we are all obsessed with our toys but tiny fraction of the general population cares about PP. Not to mention looking for one in a random bag. There is also virtually no chance that the person that you gave the ...

If he still works for you in a couple of years....I would do the following: buy a knockoff Patek Nautilus online or from the street. Make up a story about how you need to send the watch to the Salon for repairs. Have the same individual courier your watch...

to read about your story Kari. Enough have been said already and I can't provide any new insights to what has already been provided by the various members. From my own experience, if i travel with an extra watch in my laptop bag or a carry-on bag, the one...
Kari, sorry to hear this

From your story, I would "speculate" that the watch might have lost in transit. a theory is Probably inside the plane. You mentioned Charlie was reading the book during the flight. Would it be possible for someone to get his back without him noticing it? ...
