Stolen Watch Report

I started this site last year with the hopes that I would never have to use it.  Unfortunately, a fellow collector has fallen victim to the same fate as I.  Johnny Torres(aka. JohnnyT) a long time member of the P.M.W.F. had his watch collection stolen from his home.  Here's a link to his posts on that forum:

And another link as well:

Part 2

If anyone sees any of these watches posted here, please feel free to contact me and I will contact Johnny with this information.  Thanx!

Cheers!

Inaugural post

I'd like to open this site as a "gift" to all of my WIS brothers and sisters of the watch collecting community.  The reason for my wanting to start this blog is a place to report watches that have been reported stolen by members of the watch collecting community.  After having nearly my entire watch collection stolen during a break-in at my home, and having the outpouring support of the WIS community, I'd like to do something to show that at times like these, you are not alone.  As I'm still constructing this site, I expect to have it up and running within the next few days.  My hope is that this site will be a useful tool in reporting and potentially recovering stolen watches for collectors.  Thank you!


I can be contacted at: mikeoldhippie@gmail.com  for reporting thefts.


Cheers!
Mike
