Rolex stolen from Keanu Reeves' home turns up in Chile house raid over a year later

The John Wick star's watch is said to be worth a whopping $10,000

A watch stolen from Keanu Reeves' home has been located over 5,000 miles away in Chile.

Reeves' Los Angeles home was raided by thieves on December 8, 2023, who 'entered the property through the backyard and broke a rear window to gain access', a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson said at the time.

The initial break in happened around 7pm, with law enforcement having to reportedly return to the property just a few hours later because of a second break-in, TMZ said.

A firearm was said to have been stolen during the incident, and it's since been revealed that a Rolex watch owned by the The Matrix star was also stolen.

Now, over a year from the break-in and Reeves' watch has been found by police in Chile following a series of house raids.

Chilean police are said to have been working with American law enforcement to track down the stolen goods.

The watch that was found is a Rolex Submariner watch which, as per Rolex's website, is worth over $10,000 (£8,050).

As to how police knew it was Reeves', there's engraving on the back of the watch face that reads '2021, JW4, thank you, The John Wick Five', CNN reports.

It's believed that the actor gifted Rolex Submariners to the stuntmen he worked with on John Wick: Chapter 4.

Another two watches belonging to Reeves were also discovered after four homes were raided.

A 21-year-old man has since been arrested.

Sadly, and some-what ironically, the John Wick actor's home has been subjected to numerous burglaries over the years.

In 2014, Reeves' home was broken into twice in four days.

The first instance occurred September 14 of that year, and a woman in her 40s was detained and later taken to a medical facility for further evaluation, said CNN.

The actor reportedly confronted the woman in the library of his home.

Three days later, another woman was reported to have broken into the property after the gates were left open from construction.

The woman in question was found enjoying the Hollywood star's swimming pool.

She was described as 'erratic' and, like the first intruder, was taken to a medical facility for evaluation.

Despite the unnerving debacle, Reeves seemed quite unfazed by it all at the time and simply described it as an 'interesting weekend'.

He continued to tell Entertainment Tonight a month after the break-ins: "Everybody's OK, which is nice. All's well that ends well.

"It was certainly surprising, four in the morning, Saturday, and having an uninvited guest. But it just happened, and everybody's OK.''
