A man on Urban Trail told police he had two expensive watches stolen from his apartment. The watches were taken from the top drawer of his nightstand. He said his personal firearm, that shared the same drawer, was thankfully not stolen. He said the company that did the demo work is Southeast Restoration. The pipes in his apartment burst and Southeast Restoration commenced the demolition of the interior. When the man returned to the apartment, he asked the foreman to stop work until he had retrieved his personal belongings. He said the foreman refused to stop work and he had to work around the team as he moved his things into another apartment. He said they were literally pulling down walls and ceilings as he worked as fast as possible to salvage his personal belongings and furniture over the following few days. He provided police with pictures of the watches that he said were stolen, as well as documentation showing the serial numbers of a Breitling Aerospace Titanium watch and an Omega X33 Titanium watch.
