Hi Abel, I'm really very sorry to hear of your Daytona theft and car accident. As someone who has suffered from both these events i can fully sympathise with you.
Can you find out if the 88 year old neighbour had any guests between receiving and handing on the package.
My quick observation from the photo's you posted leads me to think the uneven end on the brown tape was torn or bitten. Where ever the box is now it must be considered as evidence. There could well be fingerprints attatched ( i hope i dont sound like i've watched too many detective movies ).
I have also in the past had packages delivered to & signed for by neighbours. This can be really frustrating with expensive items. I am lucky to enough have trustworthy neighbours ( Senior police officer on one side and best friends on the other ) but it still upsets me that a registered package can be delivered to somewhere other than the written destination.
Good luck to you and all associated parties and i hope they catch the theif.

: Hello to you all. I have a rather unpleasant message this time...

: I have a vintage Heuer Daytona gone lost with UPS! Strangely enough
: the package arrived to its destination at time and there has
: been signed for!?

: The buyer of this watch prefers to remain anonymous on this board,
: I'm confident he's not fooling with me. I sent package with UPS
: Standard service, fully insured from Belgium to UK (N147BY -
: LONDON). Strangely enough the package arrived perfectly on time
: and there has been signed for upon receiving. However, the
: package was delivered with the neighbour and not with the buyer
: itself.

: Now, when the buyer opened the package (after he got it the day
: after delivery from his 88 year old neighbour) he didn't find
: the Heuer Daytona inside. All he found was brown paper and
: bubble wrap...no watch at all. The buyer also sent me some pics
: of the package...there has been tampered with the package as
: there was also some brown tape used on the package, I only used
: clear tape...also picture attached.

: Here are some pictures of the watch that has been
: "stolen". Modelnumber 110.203B and serial 357527 are
: clearly visible in one picture;

: If someone sees a Daytona coming up for sale with this serial...I
: would appreciate if you would let me know!

: Best regards,
