Gloria de Regalado placed the $6,500 Rolex inside a bin at terminal three on Jan. 18. Thirty minutes later, she realized she left the pricey watch at the checkpoint. When she got back to security, the watch was gone.
A Transportation Security Administration supervisor reviewed the surveillance video and confirmed Regalado had left her watch behind, and said the man who passed through security after her, took it.
According to BSO, the security video showed the suspect collecting his coat, then reaching for the watch as he picked up his laptop in the bin next to his. Afterwards, deputies said he walked to a nearby bench and put the watch and laptop in a book bag.
BSO deputies searched the terminal but did not locate the suspect.
A reward up to $1,000 may be available for information leading to an arrest.
Anyone with information about the suspect should call Broward Crimestoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477).
