Glad he is ok. Leyton has never been too scary so that sounds unlucky. Hope he was insured.

Leyton has always been rough tbf, just depends on what part you go.

Nope.

Just admit the truth, London is a crime-riddled ****hole full of criminals and scumbags.

Just like any big city, there are **** areas but unlike many cities and towns in England the **** area isn't the whole city. Overall it's still one of the best cities in the world.

No it's not. It's a dangerous city full of criminals, crime is completely rampant.

Here's a quick screengrab of the first replies to Khan's tweet.

What's it got to do with you?

You wonder if they knew who they were robbing, if they were looking to Rob a watch that night, if they accidentally come across Khan or followed him? So many questions. I imagine Khan watch is quite leery and blingy. I like vintage watches. It might not be the burglars taste but I imagine they might get a few quid but i d think might be hard to sell

I've read about scoundrels and highway men in merry olde England, and this here sounds too ****** not to be questioned. The watch is probably worth less than the gun, if you think about it.

Do we know the value of the watch?

[SteveM]

Dude takes L’s only! He’s trying to stay in the limelight. Wtf you gonna rob him of a watch and not his wallet? His wife just “watched”? No pun intended!

I didn't see the value of the watch but there's plent of watches that are worth $20K plus and they are barter amongst criminals to purchase assets. Whats in his wallet? $200 cash some credit cards he can cancel? Too much hassle. What is his wife supposed to ? jump in and disarm them and risk being shot ?

criminals take high value watches, loose diamonds, ******* as payment - no need to sell, just use to buy

Oh I see, the watch likely goes onto another criminal.
