You know what's a total buzzkill? Waking up the morning after you've just won your seventh Roland Garros title only to find your $375,000 limited edition watch has been stolen by someone on the hotel staff. We've all been there, right?

After a long night of well-deserved celebration, he climbed into bed and took off his $375,000 Richard Mille RM027 Tourbillon watch, placed it on his nightstand, and drifted off to sleep. When he woke up in the morning it was gone. On one hand, if you're in possession of a $375,000 watch, you're pretty much begging for it to be stolen. Or at least for someone to attempt to steal it. On the other hand, who would try and steal from Rafa? That's just mean.

After reporting the watch missing and filing a complaint with the local police in Paris, the cops were able to quickly track down the thief and recover the watch. The thief turned out to be a hotel barman, who used his access key to break into Nadal's room and abscond with the watch. Speaking from the Gerry Weber Open in Halle, where he's scheduled to play this week, Nadal had nothing but nice things to say about the French police. "They did fantastic work. They found the watch. So, I’m very happy for that."

What's unclear from reports is whether the thief broke in while Nadal was asleep. If so... that's really messed up and quite scary, actually.
