102-year old lady gets her stolen ring back…

December 12, 2008

Larry Rowell, from R&R Estate Jewelers returned a stolen ring that he brought to Edna Levy, a 102-year old woman who lost it.

The ring was actually a Christmas gift in 1976 from her husband. Unfortunately it was stolen last month by a nurse’s aide and another accomplice, who was later arrested.

Once Roswell heard the description of the ring he immediately knew that it was hers and called the police to set things right.

Prior to this incident, Levy wore the ring everyday. I’m sure that she’ll do the same this time, only with a closer eye.

$108 million of jewelry stolen….by drag queens….

December 5, 2008

Nearly $108 million worth of jewelry was stolen from the Harry Winston store in Paris. This robbery is the second most expensive example of diamond theft ever.

Just as the title states, four of the gunmen, dressed in drag, robbed the store in broad daylight only taking 20 minutes to take all forms of jewelry and money from the safes.

A witness stated that all four of the robbers walked out of the store as if nothing happened, and exited the vicinity without speeding or screeching of their tires.
