Burgled - Watches and camera stolen

[wemann]

Dear Friends, 

Happy thanksgiving, I apologise in advance for the negativity. 

 

Our house in Preston Melbourne was burgled yesterday 28/11/2019 and 4 of my watches were stolen as well as a camera, wedding rings, jewellery and passports.

 

Luckily they left the esky full of cigars untouched!!!

 

Just thought I would pass on the reference numbers and details to you to keep an eye out for those of you into watches and cameras based in Melbourne Australia. 

 

4 watches stolen in a leather hodinkee case like the link:

I'm sorry to hear that happened, though it sounds like all are safe which is the most important thing. Hope they catch the thieves soon. 

[wemann]

Yes. Definitely should’ve let everyone know. We are safe and sound, just a bit shaken, you just don’t think it would happen.

Wow that sucks. What a gut punch.

[Derboesekoenig]

Karma will come around, and hopefully your property will too. On another note, who steals passports??? What a bunch of assholes.

Also, you have good taste, I'll give you that ?

Hope you get your stuff back

I feel sorry for you mate! I hope that you get your belongings back soon!

I almost nearly experienced similar thing from a Linkedin scammer (named George Castro something, but I believe it is just pseudo name for avoiding being detected) who tried to steal my Gmail information by asking me to be his friend on Linkedin, and then sending tons of spam mails with fishy online dating website, Zorpia to me. Luckily, my Chrome extension prevented me to access that hellish website, and I contacted Google to block that w****r ASAP ?! I still can't believe how come that some spammers can bypass the Gmail's spam filtering system with ease ?!

P.S. Surprisingly, he didn't being listed as spammer that day, and he sent that d**n mail to me once again about several months ago (I asked Google to list him as malicious spammer after that incident, but apparently, he created new Google account unfortunately). In this time, I blocked him as spammer, and completely deleted that mail with justice ?!
