  • The Great Jewelry Heist

    http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/...n-jewelry.html

    New York Giants defensive tackle Shaun Rogers was robbed of $500,000 worth of jewelry while he slept in a Miami Beach hotel this weekend.

    That is half of what Rogers signed to play for the Giants this season -- $1.005 million, according to Ralph Vacchiano.

    According to the report, Rogers went partying and he told Miami Beach Police that he met a woman and Club Liv and brought her back to the room he was staying at the Fontainebleau Hotel at 7 a.m. and put his jewelry in a safe in the room. When he awoke some 5 ½ hours later, the woman was gone and the jewely was missing from the locked safe.

    Hotel security opened the safe and it was empty. Missing, per the report, was diamond earrings valued at $100,000, two watches worth $160,000, a gold necklace worth $50,000, two gold bracelets worth $60,000 each and a diamond Cuban necklace and pendant worth $70,000.
    Why would anyone carry $500,000 worth of jewelry around with them? And what does a watch worth $80,000 do besides tell time?

      Makes it easier to get strange women to come up to your hotel room? And then easy to lose a lot of expensive jewelry because you brought a strange woman up to your hotel room.

        He can count his blessings if he only lost jewelry, and the woman didn't give him the gift that keeps on giving.

            Why do I get the feeling that the police investigators will have a lot of fun investigating this one?

              I wonder how she opened the safe? It makes you wonder if it was an inside job and she had help from a hotel employee. It wouldn't surprise me in the least. But yes, why in the hell was he traveling with that kind of bling in the first place??

                Ya, lots of questions with this one:
                Did he really put it in the safe, or is it a story to cover up that he left it on the nightstand since he was in the room?
                If the safe is keyed, did he simply leave the key on the nightstand?
                If electronic, did he reprogram it from the generic pre-quest number the hotel uses?
                Did he really have all that with him?
                Did she have inside help?
                Was it really stolen?

                Obviously, mismanaging the key/safe does make him responsible and her not, but I'm sure the hotel will want to know for their liability. After all, she apparently was an invited guest into his room.

                  Hotel security opened the safe and it was empty.
                  Why report about the hotel security opening the safe when clearly he had already opened the safe himself? Did he open it, find the jewelry missing and then forget the combination?

                    Because Rogers himself was stuck in the safe and couldn't get out?

                      I'm guessing she took the means of opening from the safe with her.

                      Or swapped the whole safe with a different emptier one.

                      Or he's lying.

                              It's hard to make out what happened in this one.

                              The only thing I'm sure of is that the story that Rogers is telling is a load of bullshit.
