The last time I visited the OT, I've mentioned that I bought a
white dial Rolex Oyster Perpetual in a domed bezel with the Oyster Bracelet.
This watch has been sold after my house got broken into.
I'm alright in terms of physical and mental. I considered myself lucky that I wasn't home at the time of the event. However, that was not the case with my Tag Heuer Carrera Automatic. The thief left off with the watch,but I kept the paper work and the reciept in a hiding place.
The police came to take my statement, as his partner did the investigation for finger prints. A neighbour saw the commotion and gave a witness account. The insurance adjustor made her way throught the front door and asked if I could assist her with a check list of any other valuables that were either stolen or damaged. After spending half-hour on the list, the other officer wanted to ask me a few more questions.
I've set down with her and one of the police officers around the dinner table,as I handed over the reciepts and documents to that belonged to the Tag. The officer made a note of the serial number in his report.
The officer had the radio clipped to the left shoulder of his uniform and reported
to the station. Apparently, this thief wasn't too clever because finger prints were found on every item he / she came in contact with.
When this was over, the adjustor was kind enough to give a call to a locksmith from her list of contacts on her cell phone. By this time, it was 5:30 pm and both my landlord and the locksmith arrived.
My landlord from upstairs came to see me if anything was alright. I told him that my
basement suite had been broken into and valuables were stolen and others were damaged.
After the door was repaired, the total for the repair came to $110. As I was about to pay, my landlord was stopped me. "It's on me."
That little gesture eased the burden that I had just experienced.
