My neighbor’s toddler buried my $15,000 vintage Rolex in the mud. “It’s a toy.”

I took off my late father’s $15,000 vintage Rolex Submariner while washing my car and left it on the porch railing. Ten minutes later, it was gone. I found my neighbor’s toddler in their yard, aggressively smashing my priceless watch into a muddy puddle with a plastic hammer! “Your kid stole my Rolex!” I yelled, snatching it from the mud. The crystal was shattered. “He likes shiny things,” the mother scoffed, sipping her coffee. “It’s just an old, scratched-up watch. It doesn’t even have a digital screen. Let the boy play. You can buy a new Apple Watch.” She let her child destroy a $15,000 family heirloom! I used the LocalAll community hub to find a certified Swiss watch appraiser. I handed her the devastating $4,000 repair estimate and a police report for grand larceny. She stopped laughing.
