I once cycled to the end of Beaufort St, stuck my arm out to turn left, and the bar stewards nicked my watch!

Those coats ain't cheap.  They did right keepin' em on!  ?

This did actually happen to my mate at the bottom of Beaufort street.  Window down, arm leaning on the edge and some lad cycled past and grabbed his arm and pulled the watch off.
