@MyHighHorse people who live in the UAE live there because they can afford it . The watches will be sold to non residents or newcomers who are stupid enough to buy them .
And mine keeps time just as good as those over priced watches but I feel bad for the guy. He enjoys his watches people should leave other peoples things alone.
He has $500,000 in watches and less than $1,000 in home security. Any reasonable alarm would have worked. Any reasonable cctv would have worked. They will run on a battery backup system for several minutes, even over an hour. His alarm and camera system both going offline should have been an auto alert to him and/or his 5 nominated contacts. Who spends so much just on watches, never mind the rest of your stuff, and virtually nothing on security?
Don’t be stupid, this was an inside insurance job. He never had those watches, he only had them insured and a semblance of a security system to show the insurance company. Now he gets a million dollar payout and everyone is happy.
Something(s) aren't adding up here... He can afford a $4 million dollar house and several $150k watches but he doesn't have a safe, a house sitter or cellular alarm system? He can pay someone $30 bucks an hour to house sit for him for 6 hours a day.. He can have multiple cellular alarm systems that will work even when the power is turned off.. And where is the built in safe??? This is either insurance fraud or someone close to him set him up to be robbed. Someone knew exactly how to disarm his system and they knew where his watches were at.. Inside job..
Listen. The guy is not very bright. He collected expensive watches which are worthless and obsolete. Nobody in a clear mind would buy them now! So what do you expect from him? 😂
alot of people collect alot of things that look and seem worthless to most people, card collectors, penny collectors, etc. though i do agree. he could have used a safe, or some kind of bullet proof glass trophy case thing if he wanted them to be visible when he went in there to look at them or whatever.

NOt really, they run on cellular services if the internet is cut. Even basic security systems like ADT use cell service. The hubs also have back up power batteries for 24 hours.
Burglar alarms have cell phone back up communication so soon as you cut that line the radio transmitter trouble with the monitoring stations and if they’re wise they will have private patrol respond to their alarm system if they’re cheap they won’t or if they’re pulling insurance fraud they won’t
That sucks man, I had a small collection of coins stolen “not worth this guys stash but a few grand” which is a lot for me!!! You save these things and have memories attached to them and someone takes your things it’s a horrible feeling
@@kalb.3002 depends because watches at the top of the market may not move with the market. There are models out there that require you to be on a waiting list for years do to limited production and that's assuming you can get on the list.
yes, like they had to study how everything works and where it was placed. Like how did they know exactly how to disable and where it was? also how did they know how the internet for the cameras worked?
If those watches are six figures then there are only a few of each model in the wild and all current owners are probably known to Petek. Almost like stealing a painting.
Rolex produces over a million watches a year, Swiss manufacturer Patek Philippe produces about 68,000 watches per year, Breitling comes to about 170,000 pieces annually, and Omega manages 570,000 copies. There are a lot of expensive watches in the wild.
The watches are a store of value. It is stupid to keep your money in cash when you have that much. What you are saying is you don't care that a person was robbed. Be careful that karma doesn't visit you.

@@markturner977 It is a verse from the Bible, the book of Matthew. Jesus is teaching on how one should store up treasures in heaven, meaning putting your heart and faith in Christ, doing God’s work and obeying His commands and being happy with what He blesses you with, as opposed to putting your heart into your earthly possessions.
Well if you're a millionaire, shouldn't you hire actual security and shouldn't you have people in general maintaining the property at all times. Had he just had one person in that house with access to a gun, it would've been enough to make the robbers think twice.
They just jammed the WiFi I have the same device cost me 300 bucks but well worth it works every time. And I’m positive they were casings the place out for days if not weeks These dudes are pros good for them
““Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21 ESV
ADT is a waste of money. There are other providers that give the same service for a fraction of the price and I encourage everyone to do their own research before picking a system. Do not let a salesman convince you of anything
This is a job best suited for someone who also wears a mask. The iconic Caped Crusader: "But he's out there right now and I've gotta go to work."-Batman🦇 Or call Underdog: "There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!"-Underdog🐶 Or yet another iconic one -Captain Midnight: "Captain Midnight, sword of justice🗡⚖️striking terror in the hearts of all evildoers!" These burglars seem to have some knowledge of the victim. Humph.
So they broke into the house and into the "media room" where they cut the wifi? Well then there should be camera footage BEFORE they cut the wifi stored in a cloud! Something definitely doesnt add up! What are his financials like? Some people look rich AF but are in debt up to their ying yang and close to bankruptcy! Hell of an insurance claim plus selling the merch at 50% on the black market!
So they just pulled the plug on the wifi and caching! Payday! Basically ZERO security. Those watches should of been at a lockbox in a bank. Even when he knew there was multiple burglaries in his neighborhood …….fascinating.
@@renewashington791 ...the price of watches have been tanking big recently. Insurance compensation would pay full retail price based on original receipts so yeah, that makes sense
@@Chad-bp3hm I've seen it happen to my best friend; that's because they knew what they were looking for and where these watches were located in the house. With my friend it was the trusted housekeeper that told her friends and the burglary took place... it happens.
You DON'T keep HIGH END watches in a "watch winder", out in the open. You keep high end watches in a HEAVY, high quality SAFE! When you are ready to wear one(most likely you're only going to wear one at a time), WIND IT BY HAND!! Only takes 2 minutes to set the time & wind a watch!! Shheesh!! 🤦♂
My place was once broken into also, it is someone you know or that people someone you know told them about it! Most brake ins are by people the home owner or renter knows!
My friends once hired a nurse to watch their mother. They loved the nurse. When all the rugs on the first floor of their home were stolen, she was the last person they would suspect, but the police still investigated her. It turned out that she had been dating someone new, and that guy stole all the rugs. The nurse had not been in on it but had gone to the new boyfriend's home about a month prior and had seen his rug, which prompted her to casually mention how her employer had several just like it.
I gotta ask how he got no initial notifications? My camera set up at home and at the shop give me instant notifications when someone’s seen on the camera. The other weird thing is why the alarm company didn’t send anyone when the power was cut off. That set up is probably really good so you’d think theyd have some protocol with power being cut to send someone or contact the owner at least.
yes, they should have guard dogs. and have a sign outside saying "dog on premises". This will scare crooks thinking dogs will bite them. My security system has an alert notification when someone enters a point of view and it sends it to my phone right away. I have caught people trying to steal my packages, crash into my car etc. So defenitely having this will help. You will catch them as soon as they try to enter then you can call police and head to your house.

Haha. Finally someone that has a comment to make apart from “trying to crack the case”.
Wonder who the governor is
What kind of sad comment is this? Nobody deserves to get robbed, regardless of their net worth.
@@992rsttNah f them

🙄 I agree🤦🏻♂️
Nah... that's liberte chan husband. Ktla covering this cause she worked there. How yall don't know this?
1:10 He just told the world how to do it. 😆
Were all the watches just sitting there in a room in plain sight? No safe hidden away?
Shouldn’t have been flossing on the Gram
Dozens of high end watches? Dude it’s hard to feel bad for rich people 😂
Yet if you were rich you would want ppl to care.
Cry us a river that your watch collection was worth more than what people work all year for. Go cry to your insurance company.
The act of violation feels the same no matter how rich or poor you are.
Hey you clicked on it....
Envious much?
@@TdotOfiddler A perfect example of the relative privation fallacy.
Projecting
Give me one of those watches. Change my life. In a struggling world including our Vets on the streets seeing people living like that makes me sick. The epitome of gluttony.
No one's giving you anything. Because someone figures out how to be successful , doesn't mean they now need to be your nanny because you don't want to put in the hard work and take risks.
Remember when police circulated photos of criminal at-large, regardless of race?
Do you remember why most police agencies stopped doing it?
A wifi security system? Did he buy that at Target?
Most cameras are wireless these days. Where have you been?

The best way to disable a multi million dollar house security system is just to cut an internet cable from outside of the house 😂
NOt really, they run on cellular services if the internet is cut. Even basic security systems like ADT use cell service.
The hubs also have back up power batteries for 24 hours.
Burglar alarms have cell phone back up communication so soon as you cut that line the radio transmitter trouble with the monitoring stations and if they’re wise they will have private patrol respond to their alarm system if they’re cheap they won’t or if they’re pulling insurance fraud they won’t
@@Karim-ik5ijbro u think someone living in Hollywood hills will have ADT? 😂😂
@@nolimitlj21 Well, no I'm just saying the crapiest home security system will have cellular backup
Now I understand fiber optic underground cause of thoughts like this.
Crooks always go for the main bedroom and closet because that is where the goodies are always at.
So he went for his own closet? 😅
Yup. Everybody should use a small decoy safe there and hide their stuff somewhere else.
That sucks man, I had a small collection of coins stolen “not worth this guys stash but a few grand” which is a lot for me!!! You save these things and have memories attached to them and someone takes your things it’s a horrible feeling
Being private is not plastering your lives all across social media, as you just found out, sorry for your loss. 😪
Could be Insurance fraud, he will get paid handsomely and doesn’t look shook at all
Insurance isn't stupid either they will do a workup of the case and he may have problems getting another policy that covers watches.
@@tellucashey aslong as he gets the value back …all those watches have TANKED SINCE THE PANDEMIC down 40%
@@kalb.3002 depends because watches at the top of the market may not move with the market. There are models out there that require you to be on a waiting list for years do to limited production and that's assuming you can get on the list.

Could be the security system installers.

yes, like they had to study how everything works and where it was placed. Like how did they know exactly how to disable and where it was? also how did they know how the internet for the cameras worked?
Or Israeli Defense Force security details importing foreign tech...
Probably start to see it more and more around defense/aerospace industry families.
(0:08) Sophisticated burglars? Pleeease. This was either somebody who knew the victims or an inside job/insurance fraud.
Damn Luis, you living good man. Mad respect, I’m sure you will recover from this. I’m sure you are well insured.
If those watches are six figures then there are only a few of each model in the wild and all current owners are probably known to Petek. Almost like stealing a painting.
@@tellucas exactly. Finally someone with a brain.
@@JamesonBrown-en2tx other than a minor adjustment somewhere off the grid those watches will be impossible to get serviced.
There's lots of these dopes running around with those kind of watches. 2 types of people have them, the super rich and the wanna be's.
Black market is bigger than you think
Rolex produces over a million watches a year, Swiss manufacturer Patek Philippe produces about 68,000 watches per year, Breitling comes to about 170,000 pieces annually, and Omega manages 570,000 copies. There are a lot of expensive watches in the wild.
I'm having trouble caring about a man who bought 50 overpriced watches. If they were that valuable he would've kept them in a safe.
The watches are a store of value. It is stupid to keep your money in cash when you have that much. What you are saying is you don't care that a person was robbed. Be careful that karma doesn't visit you.
If you could value material possessions so highly he is hardly what you could call a man
@@RobertO-vu4xb you are jealous of his wealth. Work harder on yourself instead of giving into envy.
@cc1658 Quite the opposite. I hate thieves and a disordered society. I take offense when people are okay with it as the commenter is. Where did I wish anyone ill?
@@staypositive950but you do wish ill upon them, for all their disorder…
Do not store up for yourselves treasure on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal..
scriptural. I see you! 😊
So basically don’t own anything then ? That makes sense 😂
@@markturner977 It is a verse from the Bible, the book of Matthew. Jesus is teaching on how one should store up treasures in heaven, meaning putting your heart and faith in Christ, doing God’s work and obeying His commands and being happy with what He blesses you with, as opposed to putting your heart into your earthly possessions.
@markturner977 No....Billy Graham was far richer and was buried in a wooden box.....Eternal Treasures are priceless.....thats the point
Viva la diversidad !
I'm sorry to hear this again and again. Too bad we have to deal with this everyday, not good for everyone
Yea these thiefs had some inside info!
This ....insurance job, likely gets the watches back later.
Yup those watches have lost value the last 3/4 yrs …mostly a insurance job
Well if you're a millionaire, shouldn't you hire actual security and shouldn't you have people in general maintaining the property at all times.
Had he just had one person in that house with access to a gun, it would've been enough to make the robbers think twice.
True, but they might also become suspicious in the robbery or be taken as hostages, as well.
They just jammed the WiFi I have the same device cost me 300 bucks but well worth it works every time.
And I’m positive they were casings the place out for days if not weeks
These dudes are pros good for them
Had on FOX $1000 Jammed and all over for homes like 500'..Haha Rich Bozo Take Care I'm Poor..
😲😲😲😲 letting their guard down?
““Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Matthew 6:19-21 ESV
😅
Those watches are going to Florida !
ADT has a system that works even if your internet is disabled.
😂😂😂 😂😂
Oh here come the security systems ads. 😆
ADT is a waste of money. There are other providers that give the same service for a fraction of the price and I encourage everyone to do their own research before picking a system. Do not let a salesman convince you of anything
Targeted for his perceived affluence.
Maybe you should not flaunt your wealth like that, because that is just asking for trouble.
This is a job best suited for someone who also wears a mask. The iconic Caped Crusader: "But he's out there right now and I've gotta go to work."-Batman🦇 Or call Underdog: "There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!"-Underdog🐶 Or yet another iconic one -Captain Midnight: "Captain Midnight, sword of justice🗡⚖️striking terror in the hearts of all evildoers!" These burglars seem to have some knowledge of the victim. Humph.
So they broke into the house and into the "media room" where they cut the wifi? Well then there should be camera footage BEFORE they cut the wifi stored in a cloud! Something definitely doesnt add up! What are his financials like? Some people look rich AF but are in debt up to their ying yang and close to bankruptcy! Hell of an insurance claim plus selling the merch at 50% on the black market!
He never said there wasn't video.
How would he know how many there were and where they went in the house. Duh.
It's your brain that doesn't add up.
Granted, I’m piss poor, but my internet cables are on the OUTSIDE of my house, not in my “media room.” I’m thinking his really is too
So they just pulled the plug on the wifi and caching! Payday! Basically ZERO security. Those watches should of been at a lockbox in a bank. Even when he knew there was multiple burglaries in his neighborhood …….fascinating.
Insurance fraud??
@@renewashington791 ...the price of watches have been tanking big recently. Insurance compensation would pay full retail price based on original receipts so yeah, that makes sense
Forsure someone that knows every move about the owner 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

@@Chad-bp3hm I've seen it happen to my best friend; that's because they knew what they were looking for and where these watches were located in the house. With my friend it was the trusted housekeeper that told her friends and the burglary took place... it happens.
Insurance Job, way too fishy. Guy needed cash and wanted to keep the watches too
Agree. Behavioral/Body Language experts would expose his matter of fact explanation of the theft. Owner was involved in this incident.
Access to insurance records??
Could it be a scheme from the owner?
So sorry this happened to you.
There is just no way people can’t tell they aren’t been watched, especially when certain suspects or cars r nearby.
It's fine. Rich people have 2-3 backup homes. Zero sympathy.
Cameras were the only security? With all those watches in the drawer? Why not ADT? And neighbors been hit before? Insurance scam? Or just stupid?
ADT??😂😂😂
You DON'T keep HIGH END watches in a "watch winder", out in the open. You keep high end watches in a HEAVY, high quality SAFE! When you are ready to wear one(most likely you're only going to wear one at a time), WIND IT BY HAND!! Only takes 2 minutes to set the time & wind a watch!! Shheesh!! 🤦♂
Or…..or live in a decent, safe country 🤔

My place was once broken into also, it is someone you know or that people someone you know told them about it! Most brake ins are by people the home owner or renter knows!
My friends once hired a nurse to watch their mother. They loved the nurse. When all the rugs on the first floor of their home were stolen, she was the last person they would suspect, but the police still investigated her. It turned out that she had been dating someone new, and that guy stole all the rugs. The nurse had not been in on it but had gone to the new boyfriend's home about a month prior and had seen his rug, which prompted her to casually mention how her employer had several just like it.
@@wittymystic7361 Happened to my friend too... it was the trusted housekeeper who told others.
For some reason I feel most of the people in the comment section couldn't care less...
To me unfortunately this guy has been betrayed by someone…. It seems an act of revenge… day by day this world is getting even more crazy!
I gotta ask how he got no initial notifications? My camera set up at home and at the shop give me instant notifications when someone’s seen on the camera. The other weird thing is why the alarm company didn’t send anyone when the power was cut off. That set up is probably really good so you’d think theyd have some protocol with power being cut to send someone or contact the owner at least.
Whoa, the crime is starting to bother rich people? This is huge, this could turn California red
Hard to feel sorry for a rich person who has insurance and can recover from the hit.
Yes, because insurance solves everything, right? Grow up!
@@BattyBat999it does
I wouldn't directly go on the news.
The watches are sold out off state /shipped & sold in the black market ion think he gone be seeing them anytime soon.

This watches going overseas
House keeper or Airbnb cleaner. Guaranteed.
Nope. Probably someone who installs security systems

Low cost security :
1.Multiple dogs
2.cameras with there own powering system
3.a live in maid
4.a actual retired police officer
yes, they should have guard dogs. and have a sign outside saying "dog on premises". This will scare crooks thinking dogs will bite them.
My security system has an alert notification when someone enters a point of view and it sends it to my phone right away. I have caught people trying to steal my packages, crash into my car etc. So defenitely having this will help. You will catch them as soon as they try to enter then you can call police and head to your house.

It sounds like Chileans who have visas on arrival and have conducted many high-tech profitable burglaries in So Cal. Like all of South America, the US State Department ban Chileans from visas on arrival.
You live in California I’d be worried about a lot of things cause it’s only going to get worse!!!
It's not like your state will be immune from all that's going on. People are being bussed all over. We just see it first in California because we are a border state.
