Sad, though unfortunately more and more common these days! Glad he appears to be unhurt. I'm moving this to TimeOut so it gets picked up on the Front page. Cheers.
Lando Norris mugged and watch stolen at Euro 2020 Final
Which watch? Likely an RM since they sponsor McLaren. Thankfully he wasn't hurt. ...
Yes, I believe it was an RM.
At Wembley, you would have to think it was not premeditated, they couldn't have known who was were, with all of the Covid restrictions. Which means that they saw it randomly in the vicinity of one of the world's most famous sports stadiums and went for it...
Some news outlets mention a "RM prototype," others a $55k watch, which I'm not sure is consistent....But regardles, it was a pretty good watch! ;-)
According to news reports, it looks like he wasn't mugged at random, but in the vicinity of his own $200k McLaren...of course, this should be NO excuse for these criminals, nor for those of us without a McLaren to feel entirely safe ;-) As you say, larger...
Me and my wife don't wear our Rolex's in any big cities anymore...
...with the exception of Tokyo.
Unfortunately same for me
I think twice where we are going and bringing an appropriate watch.
So sad to hear these stories. I know how he must feel as it happened to me too 2 years ago in spain .
Its so frustrating but unfortunately its the new reality nowadays. Can’t wear a nice watch in any major city or hotspots anymore. Thats why I bought a few CasiOaks when visiting these places. Luxury items are hot properties for thieves
Probably stolen by the Italian team. If they could steal the Euro Cup from the England Team, at Wembley stadium, with the entire country watching...surely they could nick the watch from Norris.
wait...I correct myself. Italy didn't steal the cup nor the watch. England handed over the trophy. I'm still in a state of shock.
Eat more pasta (well cooked)…
For sure you’ll feel a little more Italian and a little more happy, shock will vanish and a smile will appear on your face… Easy peasy Ciao Amico Mio
Given all that seems to have gone on inside and outside the stadium on Sunday this is hardly surprising.
Been listening the sports radio and reading the press, it seems that there was a lot of unsavory behaviors. It really ended up being a disastrous day both on and off the pitch for English football.
