They Stole My Watches. Bad Idea.

Back in 2007, I did something incredibly stupid. And I'm not proud of it. But I got my watches back — and somehow lived to tell the story. I was just getting started in this business, shipping a couple packages a day out of my house while working a full-time job as a mechanical engineer. One Saturday morning I put about a dozen packages on my stoop for my mailman to pick up — Junkers pilot watches, mostly — and went food shopping. Came back, packages were gone. Thought nothing of it. By Wednesday, every single customer was emailing me. Nothing had scanned. Mailman confirmed: he never saw a single package. I found two of my watches on eBay. My photos. My warranty cards with my stamp on them. Seller wouldn't respond. eBay wouldn't help. So I did what any rational business owner would do. I tracked the guy down myself. What followed involved a sketchy house, a 20-year-old kid in a basement, a lot of bags, and three separate moments where I should have turned around and didn't. I got every watch back. Do not do what I did. https://www.LongIslandWatch.com
