NEW YORK, Aug. 14 (UPI) -- Comedian Chevy Chase has said he believes his $10,000 Cartier wristwatch may be buried among mounds of high-end loot cops seized in a New York airport sting.
Chase told The New York Post the pricey timepiece was missing from his otherwise-intact luggage during a trip to Los Angeles a few months ago. It made him suspect security screeners.
"The little tag that's right there on the bag did say Chevy Chase, so obviously it was worth taking a look at," he said.
Law-enforcement officials at Kennedy Airport unveiled hundreds of thousands of dollars in laptop computers, jewelry, and other items found in searches of the homes of three security screeners.
There were scores of watches as well, including a $25,000 Vacheron Constantin, but no immediate sign of Chase's Cartier.
