Social media users have a theory about Young Thug's watch.

Young Thug was finally released from prison last week after accepting a plea deal. The rapper's issues may not be completely over, however. According to various reports, his $1.7 million Richard Mille watch is allegedly missing after being seized by authorities following his arrest. Now, social media users have some theories about where it could be. Many of them involve a police officer who recently took the stand in the YSL RICO trial.

In a clip from the courtroom, he's seen wearing a watch that some fans theorize could allegedly be Young Thug's. Of course, this is unconfirmed, but some Instagram users in The Neighborhood Talk's comments are convinced regardless. "Cops be the ones you gotta watch the most sometimes," one of them writes. "Now why would he wear that to court?" someone else wonders.

Social Media Users Think Police Officer Allegedly Stole Young Thug's Richard Mille Watch

Others argue that the watch the police officer is seen wearing in the clip can't the same watch that Young Thug is missing. Either way, his supporters are having a field day with their theories. It looks like Young Thug has more to worry about than a missing watch these days, however, as he's been busy reconnecting with old collaborators and friends following his release from prison.

Recently, for example, Metro Boomin hopped online to tease what appears to be an upcoming collab with him. Young Thug also posted his first post-prison tweet over the weekend, which seemed to hint that he has a new song with Lil Baby coming sometime soon. What do you think of social media users speculating that a cop could have allegedly stolen Young Thug's watch and worn it to court? Do you think this is possible, or too far-fetched?
