UPS Store Employee Accused of Stealing Rolex Watch From Montague Street Store

By on February 4, 2024 10:34 pm in 11201, 84th Precinct, Crime

As reported by Adam Daly in the Brooklyn Paper, an employee of the UPS store at 137 Montague Street has been accused of stealing a Rolex Submariner watch, valued at $9,500. A customer had sold the watch on eBay and brought it to UPS on December 22 for shipment “to an eBay authentication center in Ohio.” He was given a receipt with a tracking number, but when he tried to track it got no response, so he contacted UPS. He was “told that his package had been stolen by the staff member who had given him the tracking number.” The Brooklyn Paper contacted the 84th Precinct, which said no arrest has yet been made and the investigation is ongoing. A UPS representative told the Brooklyn Paper that they are “currently working with the owner of the Brooklyn Heights store to ‘take care’ of the impacted customer.”

    An employee there once told me directly that packages are stolen there and “it doesnt matter because the sender still gets a refund” I’ve had a few packages disappear, mostly shoes.

    Very disappointed to hear this.

    “The impacted customer.”

    As if things aren’t bad enough.

    That headline is incorrect “UPS employee stole watch from the ups store.” They are not a UPS employees at all. Store is a franchise.

    I’ve changed it to “UPS Store Employee …”

    I returned my Spectrum equipment there (apparently you have to) and it never made it back to Spectrum. Not as bad as being out a $9500 watch, though.

    Better to go to USPS or fedex.
    I had multiple “experiences” at this establishment. Just saying….save yourself.

    I’ve had multiple packages (both incoming and outgoing) go missing after they entered the Cadman Plaza USPS. I think some of it is just simple disorganization and mismanagement. But there have been news reports of theft there too. Never had a problem with packages either at Montague UPS or Court St Fedex.

    Not so: I returned Spectrum equipment at their store on Fulton Street.

    That is probably what I should have done. Or gotten a receipt.

    Shipper’s Express on 41 Schermerhorn, off of Court, is a family-owned trustworthy option. I’ve used them for years and all packages have arrived safely.
