Stealing Jewelry in Drag

Thieves in Drag Steal Millions in Jewels

PARIS - Armed robbers — some dressed in drag — made off with $100 million in loot from a lightning-fast jewelry store theft in central Paris, in what police Friday called one of France's costliest jewel heists.

Three or four thieves swiped rings, necklaces and luxury watches from display cases at the Harry Winston store near the Champs-Elysees, a police official said. They brandished handguns and threatened about 15 employees, hitting some on the head with guns, the official said.

At least two of the bandits were men wearing wigs and dressed as women, at times spoke a foreign language, and knew employees' names, the official said. After the theft, the robbers fled.

Hi, Jeannie -

I just *knew* you did it . . . hope you got me the blue and white sapphire necklace, earrings, and bracelet set; if not, I'll take the amethyst and diamond set (all set in silver, of course!). Oh, and Virginia really likes her diamonds and emeralds set in 18K gold.

Shall we expect them in the mail next week?!?



((Hugs))

Jeanie I knew you had good taste but how did you manage to pull yourself away from your kitchen? =)

I will take a diamond pendant.

That's why there was no mention of watches being stolen, she already has a clock on the stove

I hope that they have gowns and shoes of equal elegance to go with all that new jewelry.
