Keanu Reeves Thanks Officials Who Tracked Down Prized ‘John Wick’ Item

Keanu Reeves showed some love to the law enforcement officials who tracked down a number of his watches, including one of five Rolexes made after shooting “John Wick: Chapter 4,” that were stolen in 2023.

The actor’s Los Angeles home was broken into during a string of burglaries by foreign nationals. The thieves made off with many pricy items, including a Rolex Submariner watch with a personalized inscription that was part of Reeve’s wrap gift to the stunt team on the 2023 film.

The prized accessory was tied to the hit action movie franchise, which began with Reeve’s character seeking revenge for the theft of his car and the murder of his puppy. It was among six of his watches ― valued at approximately $125,000 ― that were stolen, per the Los Angeles Times.

In a handwritten letter addressed to the FBI and Chile’s Policia de Investigaciones, Reeves offered his “profound gratitude and appreciation” to the two agencies, along with the Los Angeles Police Department, California Highway Patrol and law enforcement in Chile.

“Thank you so much for all your effort, dedication, professionalism and across-border cooperation. My warmest regards, Keanu,” he wrote in a letter shared by the Los Angeles Times.

Chilean officials discovered Reeves’ stolen possessions during a broader investigation into burglaries in the capital city of Santiago. The U.S. Embassy said the find was “circumstantial” in nature, celebrity.land reported in August.

Officials told the network that a detective who liked the “John Wick” franchise “managed to recognize” the Rolex watch and was aware of Reeves’ gifts to the stuntmen before authorities ultimately made a match.

There was no evidence that the group that broke into the actor’s home was the same one that brought the watches to the South American country, Chilean prosecutor Claudia Barraza said.
