(7,362 posts)But it's been a week. Let's say you had a 15K watch and your house is destroyed. What do you do?
If you know where it is in your house, you'd gave retrieved it by now (assuming your house was destroyed in a orderly manner i.e. the bedroom stuff is still sort of in the bedroom, etc.
If your house was not destroyed in an orderly manner, for all you now that watch got thrown 1/2 a mile and you will never find it.
Also, I'd bet a LOT of people are just claiming it was gone to pull an insurance scam.
So along come the scrap metal guys who in a certain way are doing everybody a service. It's essentially free demolition of all metal things.
Yeah of course if they find the watch they are gonna pocket it.
But in general this just seems like a WAY overhyped story of looters coming from far away to rob people.
