Pic of watch online RUGBY star Jamie Heaslip was shocked when he saw a picture of his stolen watch on Instagram.
The valuable Breitling, which was lifted five years ago, was a memento of his 2013 Lions rugby tour.
Heaslip was tagged in the German watch collector’s post and wrote: “Can I ask how you got this? It was stolen off me in November 2013.”
The owner replied he bought the watch two years ago on ebay and was under the impression Heaslip was the seller.
He told the Irish Mail on Sunday: “I’m receiving hateful messages...it’s very sad because I did not want to harm anybody.
“I tried to help Jamie and sent him all the seller and buyer’s information.”
