Soon afterward, the watch was stolen from Martha by gang members in Metropolis. Learning of this, Clark regretted not having taken the watch and vowed to retrieve it. With the help of Andrea Rojas, Clark found those responsible for the theft, but they had already pawned it. Lana Lang searched every pawn shop until she found it and restored it to Clark.
