Chilean police have located four luxury watches belonging to actor Keanu Reeves, one year after they were stolen from his residence in California, as reported by CNN.
Among the recovered items is a Rolex Submariner valued at $9,000, along with three other watches. The items were found during a police operation in eastern Santiago last Saturday.
The Rolex Submariner and its Connection to “John Wick 4”
The dive watch, identified as a gift from Keanu to the stunt team of John Wick: Chapter 4, carries a special inscription:
“2021, JW4, thank you, The John Wick Five.”
This detail was crucial in confirming the item belonged to the actor. The collaboration between Chilean and U.S. authorities was key in connecting the recovered watches to the theft that occurred in December 2023 at Reeves’ property in Hollywood Hills.
Details of the Theft and Arrest
In last year’s incident, Reeves’ house was broken into by masked thieves who entered through the backyard and broke a window to get inside. Fortunately, the actor was not home during the robbery.
In the recent police operation in Chile, a 21-year-old man was arrested, accused of involvement in the crime. In addition to the watches, other high-value items, such as jewelry, were also found.
History of Break-ins
This was not the first robbery involving Keanu Reeves. In 2014, the Matrix star had his home broken into twice in the same year, highlighting the vulnerability of celebrities to this type of crime.
Life Imitating Art in “John Wick”
The story of the robbery bears curious parallels to the John Wick franchise. In the plot, Reeves’ character faces thieves who break into his house, steal his car, and kill his dog, triggering a series of revenge events.
The franchise, which has grossed over $1 billion worldwide, has already produced four films and a spin-off starring Ana de Armas, set for release in 2025.
Future of “John Wick”
Keanu Reeves will continue to portray the iconic assassin in the next film in the series, while fans eagerly await a potential John Wick 5. On the possibility, Reeves commented:
“You can never say never. My heart is ready, but my knees are asking for a break.”
The recovery of Keanu Reeves’ watches highlights the effective work of Chilean and U.S. authorities. The case also draws attention to the challenges celebrities face in protecting their personal belongings. With the popularity of the John Wick franchise, Reeves continues to captivate audiences both on and off-screen.
