August 14, 2004 -- Is Chevy Chase's $10,000 Cartier wristwatch buried among the mounds of high-end loot cops seized in an airport sting early yesterday morning?
The famed funnyman hopes so. Chase told The Post yesterday the pricey timepiece was mysteriously missing from his otherwise-intact luggage during a trip to Los Angeles a few months ago. It made him suspect security screeners.
"The little tag that's right there on the bag did say Chevy Chase, so obviously it was worth taking a look at," the 60-year-old comedian said.
Yesterday, law-enforcement officials at Kennedy Airport unveiled hundreds of thousands of dollars in laptop computers, Tiffany's jewelry and Hugo Boss colognes found in searches of the homes of three security screeners.
There were scores of watches as well, including a $25,000 Vacheron Constantin, but no immediate sign of Chase's Cartier.
