                  eh, maybe i would. there are warranty cards/papers. no box only.

                  anyway the watches will not be sold in sg. does not make sense for the person(people) to get rid of the goods here since by now the serial number of all the watches will be reported.

                    Ex-Cortina employee's help sought
                    Wed, Dec 31, 2008
                    The Straits Times

                    By Jessica Lim & Sujin Thomas

                    SOME signs that the theft of $7.9 million worth of watches and cash from Cortina Watch's Raffles City outlet was an inside job emerged yesterday, and police are now looking for an ex-employee of the store to help in investigations.

                    The man, 35-year-old Jerry Ee, has gone missing, and his parents told The Straits Times that he has not been home since Dec 26 - a day after the robbery took place.

                    In what appeared to be a related development, his services have been terminated by the watch retailer, and a notice stating that he is no longer an employee and is not authorised to act for the company in any capacity appears in today's Straits Times.

                                Just wondering whether the insider would steal the box and papers as well.
