Re: !!! THEFT - Heuer Daytona has been STOLEN !!!

Abel for me its clear in this very specific case:

the guy you sold the watch too should blaim the neigbour at police. I even do not know if UPS is allowed to deliver value packages to other persons: I have at my door a special sign "only delivering to the parcels person in the address" to avoid missunderstandings.

Sure in this case, board member or not" , you have absolute NO responsebility and you can only assist the guy you sent to.

: 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,
: Abel.
