Maybe he'll be more careful in the future when signing autographs.
Polish footballer Robert Lewandowski, new star recruit of FC Barcelona, had his watch stolen when he came to train and signed autographs at the entrance to the stadium of the Spanish club.
The police managed to recover the luxury watch, brand Patek Philippe worth around 75,000 euros, shortly after.

The facts took place on Thursday afternoon when the 33-year-old striker, transferred in mid-July from German club Bayern Munich, arrived by car at Camp Nou and stopped in front of fans for autographs, detailed the "Mossos d'Esquadra", the Catalan police.
A young man approached and stole the watch with an orange strap from the player's wrist.
Warned around 4:30 p.m., the police got their hands in less than an hour on the 19-year-old who still had the watch with him and who was hiding in the bushes near the stadium.
He was arrested for "robbery with violence", explained the police, because even if the player was not abused, the fact that the watch was removed from his body motivates this qualification.
Robert Lewandowski is the flashiest rookie in La Liga this off-season: the insatiable goalscorer from Bayern Munich, where he has been playing since 2014, joined FC Barcelona for 45 million euros.
The 33-year-old Pole made no secret several weeks before the announcement of his departure wishes.
If he was present for the resumption of training with Bayern in mid-July, he systematically arrived late.
By improving its economic situation, FC Barcelona recruited cleverly by taking Franck Kessié and Andreas Christensen in particular, free of any contract.
