The title says it all. Lost a couple TV's, MacBook, and my much loved MOP Cockpit. What a cruddy thing to come home to after a night out

Terrible news, really sorry to hear. At least no one was hurt, and hopefully the watch will find its way back.

Jeez, that's terrible news. Glad no-one was injured, but it's still a nightmare. Hope the police catch them.

It's a bummer for sure, but no one was hurt, which might not have been the case if I was home. The odd thing is they left my Navi sitting right next to the Cockpit. I guess it wasn't their style.

Police came and dusted for prints, which was surprising since I ways thought that B&E was low on the totem pole. They were very sympathetic and the Sr officer even commented on Breitlings being "really nice watches" to the other officer

All in all it leaves a sour taste but not the end of the world, even though I doubt I will be able to find another Cockpit in that variation.

That sucks Thomas. Sorry to hear that as I've experienced something like that before.

That's pretty bizarre how the Navi stayed though. Hope they catch those punks.

That sure is terrible. Maybe they think it's related to another more serious crime and why they are trying to lift some prints. Did the nav happen to be on leather and the Cockpit a bracelet? Because the only thing that makes sense is they didn't realize the value and picked the more blingy looking one. But it's still pretty dumb why to not just grab both, especially that they were lugging out freakin tvs.

"Odd" is an understatement, but I guess it's some consolation that you still have the Navi. So sorry about your misfortune.

Sorry to hear about this. Not just the loss of the watch, but the inevitable sense of invasion. Been there and it stinks. I know how much you enjoyed the Cockpit. I'll wager you find another just like it.

Gutted for you, I had my SOH stolen and know how it feels. As others have said, at least you weren't there and no one was injured. Chin up buddy, you'll find another.

Really sorry to hear about this, glad youre ok though. Did you happen to have a burglar alarm? Just wondering if they were able to circumvent the system.

Condolences. I've never been through anything like that and can only try to imagine what you must be feeling. Best of luck getting it all sorted out.

That's awful news. It's seems odd they'd leave the Navi, irrespective of whether or not they personally liked it. Someone on the street would buy it.

I hope the Cockpit finds its way back to you.
