Finally encountering someone who knows their stuff: thief spends thousands repairing a luxury Cartier watch

　　I have previously read many reports about foolish thieves who failed to recognise stolen luxury watches, selling them for a pittance or simply discarding them, which watch enthusiasts like us found deeply regrettable. Another theft occurred a few days ago, where the protagonist of this crime snuck into the same hotel apartment five times, stealing items includingCartier watchand other valuables, and actually had the sense to take the luxury watch for repairs afterwards. What exactly happened?

　　It turns out that between 6 and 8 last year, this thief broke into the same hotel apartment in Hanjiang, Wuhan, five successive times, stealing valuables including a Cartier luxury watch, a computer, a mobile phone, and cash, totalling over 7.6 yuan. Following more than half a month of careful deployment by the police, the thief was finally apprehended.

　　According to the thief's confession, after taking back the stolen Cartier watch worth over 5 yuan, he discovered it was broken, so he spent over a thousand yuan to have someone fix it. Why did the thief recognise this watch? It turns out that the thief, in his 30s, came from a privileged background, having previously run a coffee shop and prepared Western cuisine, making him familiar with many luxury brands. When police asked why he committed the theft, he claimed he was not short of money, but simply driven by overwhelming greed.
