I am very concerned
Why people must be victim of crime?
I think the law is too easy for criminals.
I hope Mister Basman is ok.
To see the Bugatti damaged is sad.
I can not accept that people must hide their succes.
There is always a way to work at a normal job and get enough money ready for a Rolex.
I seen yesterday online a Date Just with papers and box for 9K at a trustful AD who i know, so there is nothing out of reach for everybody.
Thieves are getting more brazen by the day , stay safe and be vigilant !
Abdullah was attacked by the two would-be thieves while driving near Park Lane. After smashing the window of his black Bugatti Chiron hypercar, it appears that they were unsuccessful in stealing from the millionaire. The target was believed to be his Plat...
Wow --- the level of terror this has escalated to, in the middle of major cities and in broad daylight, is pretty amazing! These are literally scenes from a war zone --- people (and most critically, legal systems) should start accepting that ;-)
I'm moving this to Time Out otherwise people won't see it on the Front page --- thanks for sharing.
So this happened in... London?
Our US-organized WatchTime LA 2022 event from May was cancelled by the host due to concerns about security of brands and collectors coming and going from the venue in Los Angeles -- which had not been a problem at the previous event in 2019. The one commo...
Oh wow, you brought up a great point…
Those huge watch events and collectors gatherings are the place where these crooks will love to set eyes on. Imagine now they heard a Patek Philippe Grand Exhibition like the one in 2017 NYC. That will be a nice place to look for the goodies Gosh I need t...
Thanks for pointing this important fact out.
How and where we buy matters. Our mods here have pointed out some concerns with auction houses that we should all be aware of. I tend to stick to local ADs when I can.
WatchTime canceled the LA one but they're keeping the NYC one?
NYC isn't exactly a safe city and it's probably worse than LA.
Ah yes, London / LA 2022. Singapore is a wonderful and safe place to live.
I know many have been moving to lower crime areas in the world. Singapore is an excellent choice imho.
Living in Singapore
Holiday to London and next year a week LA. But Monaco and Geneva are good holiday destinations.

That is what happens when you have leftists retards and socialists in charge of the country.
Btw thievs were not that smart. What they were thinking they can smash the window with a hammer while driving and than what?
Btw couple days ago a famous polish football player Lewandowski got robbed of his Patek in Barcelona..
Fortunately thieves were caught and he got his watch back.
Ah yes
the party in charge of the uk for the past 12 years is definitely socialist, and almost certainly leftist but don't let the facts get in the way of your feelings, my friend! You do you!
Pretty harsh words.
Technically countries with strong social policies have lower crime rates as often desperate people are driven to crime, that along with wealth distribution is a contributing factor.
That’s just nuts, send them to Singapore to get a few lashes at their buttocks and I’m sure the most brutal/badass guy will cry like a sissy and be obedient when released.
No law and order is what creates this havoc. Honestly if I am the Bugatti owner, I probably chased those 2 scooters and rear ended them to hospital, immediate karma. That window damage and dents on the car probably cost more than the Rolex by multiples…ge...
I’m really curious to know what their endgame was? What was next move supposed to be after smashing window in broad daylight while driver still in car?? 🤔
And who are the gawking bystanders on the green bikes…is that a bike tour group? The bikes all the same.
No place is 100% or even 99% safe.
Just that certain cities have higher number of incidents. We owe it to ourselves to minimize the chance of being a target. We usually have the common sense and situation awareness to do the sensible things. It was reported that robbers in an Asian country...
Now imagine if Abdullah casually reached over and grabbed a 357 Magnum
Shoots that son of a bitch right in the head. And that thugs family gets the bill for detailing the car, cleaning their son's blood off and buying the new window. That is the kind of action needed to get this world on track. We gotta stop enabling crimina...
I 1000% agree with you Michael. but you know the current system..
Law abiding tax paying citizens are the true criminals and the true criminals are the victims.
Appalling indeed….
…but can we get the level of emotionality a little down here? Smashing in a car window violently is not tolerable at all but comparing it with “war” and “terror”, suggesting to shoot the perpetrator in the head…or blaming certain political movements…gentl...
His partner had a machete…
Being attacked with hammer and machete by two assailants is clearly deadly force in most any rational society. Self defense is totally justified.
Source?
amp Your statement is not evident from the initial post and neither from various other online sources (see links above). Where do you have the info of a machete from? I’m not questioning you, just asking where you have the info from. Don’t get me wrong, ...
One example…
“The video shows one of them hitting the driver’s side window with a hammer, but eyewitness accounts claim a machete was also being waved around by the other moped rider.”
