Yeah, not sure why a "religion/ethics" thread was tried to take so political. It is an interesting question.
While it is still my watch there is no sense in dwelling on the loss and one needs to let go otherwise they will be consumed by it. A stoic may acknowledge that they can't change the status of the watch and will let it go. Eventually someone else will be able to say that the watch is their's because they do not know the history of the watch.
