He was 22 and wearing £1million worth of watch? Frankly, he had it coming.
What age would he needed to have been to not have it coming?Quote:

He was a kid wearing a £1million wristwatch in a tourist hot spot. He got mugged. Quelle surprise.Quote:

What I am not saying is that anyone deserves to be mugged, but, you know, sometimes people don't help themselves do they?
Stupid is stupid regardless of age... he may have wised up with some years but he may well just have become a more experienced silly person [emoji23]

How on earth is a holiday resort pickpocket going to move that on? Then again, if the pickpocket could identify it as a RM and not something out of a Kinder egg then maybe he has rather good connections.
I'll guess the pickpocket will get £1k for it and sell it on to a senior criminal who'll either keep it or sell it on to someone higher up the food chain. The more change of hands, the greater the risk of being caught. I doubt anyone will pay more than £100k for it.

You appear to know a lot about it? Hmmm.

I was thinking this but I guess you could say the same about million pound paintings that get stolen. There’s a buyer there somewhere I’m sure, probably some sort of big cheese criminal who runs the island’s drug supply or something.Quote:

It'll be on SC next week and some will be arguing that the value's too high as it has no B&P.Quote:

Proves that money cant buy taste.
I'm dissapointed that a £1m watch only has 70hrs power reserve.
Should have been wearing a Credor!
I guess the guy thought that compared to Azerbaijan, Ibiza would be safe!
Lol. Reminds me of being in a taxi with my mate John going through Hastings. John asked where the (obviously foreign) driver was from and he replied "Afghanistan".Quote:

I get what you're saying, of course.
You're applying a level of judgement based on the value of the watch though.
Pure speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that other factors picked him out as a 'mark', and the value of the watch they managed to snatch from him was a surprise even to them.

Coming from the daily reich I'm suprised they haven't insinuated the thief was a single mother on universal credit or Jeremy Corbin,these nasty scare stories must have their readership too scared to go to m+s to do their weekly shop
I think the thief probably threw the watch in a bin when he realised it wasn't a G-Shock.

Insurance scam

It’s called humour. He’s a fantastic lad and missed his vocation as a stand up comic.Quote:
