Same to you, any ideas how to solve this?
I'm inclined to to blowing my referee whistle through her mailbox until she gets annoyed enough to give up... that way I wouldn't break any law that is serious enough for the cops to be unable to ignore to save themselves paperwork...

I don't think that harassing her is the best approach.
She's already shown she's not interested in returning your calls. Contact polisen and see what they recommend.
If there's nothing they can do, I'd say show up at her lagenhet ONCE. Ask for your watch.
If those two things don't work, then I'm afraid that your watch is a gonner.

Does she have a roommate who will let you into the apartment?
I've thought about this, but I have no proof or witnesses that she has it in her possession, the police will drop the case before even calling her.
Your making assumptions and speculating on outcomes that may or may not work out as you thought. If you obviously suspect her. law enforcement have a responsibility to follow through on leads and if you only have one that may be good enough for them to follow up on and to include in their report before they close it. I think your immediate goal is to get her to respond to your inquiries. a call from a cop would help that.
honestly, it sounds like she is hoping you just go away and forget about it. if it was that important to me, i'd even consider waiting outside her place and make her call the police so you can confront.
The interesting thing about your case is that I think most cops would be sympathetic in at least checking it out.My dad passed away when I was younger and if I lost his watch like you did, I would go rouge on trying to recover it, just couldn't see myself regretting I didn't do enough later in life. Its like something you want to pass along to your son to remember the grandpa he never met. good luck

Yeah ok so what do u guys think of this plan:
1. I'll go to her place and say "hello I want my watch back".
if failed
2. I turn to the police
if failed
3. I make a plea to her father and hope I can infuse some common ground in understanding the relation between a father and a child and why it's important to me... and hope he'll pursuade her (there are 4 possible people in her area that can be her father so I'll call all of them in that case)
if failed
4. Harass her within the limits of avoiding legal punishment...
Before you get into the in-person confrontation options, how about sending her an addressed, insured, stamped envelope with a request to drop the watch in the mail?

I think you should contact the police FIRST
See what they say
If they say they can't do anything, tell them you want to go there in person and ask for it back.

Heed their advice

I'm fairly sure the closest thing we have to that here will only guarantee she recieves it in person, but nothing more.
Edit: had it looked up, if I send that it requires that she willingly walk tot he post office to show her ID in order to recieve it, feels more like a waste of cash than anything else... it requires her to tdo stuff but does not guarantee me anything.
