1. No idea. All I can say is if she had a fortune in jewelry

and no security, she's a fucking moron who made herself an easy target. Spend some money on body men with brains.

Who knows--maybe she's pulling a Trump; she's not as rich as she's pretending to be, and she is trying to exercise an insurance scam against the hotel...?

[Avalux]

2. The robbery was staged; Kim's account of what went down just don't make sense.

My daughter and I were talking about this last night. She thinks so too, adding that the Wests are thought to be in financial trouble. I'm sure the jewelry was insured so they'll get their $$. Bonus is the free publicity and they get to while about being victims.

[obamanut2012]

5. They won't get the money for the jewelry

So, no.

[Avalux]

6. Explain?

Maybe I am misunderstanding insurance for such things. Why have it if compensation is not provided for the loss?

[Nye Bevan]

9. My guess is that there would be some kind of exclusion in the policy,

for someone who has millions of dollars of jewelry in a hotel room not locked in a safe.

[Avalux]

11. That makes sense.

I wonder how that applies since she wasn't at a hotel but a supposedly private and secure residence. She could argue she felt completely safe leaving her jewels out in the open then turn around and sue the owners of the place. Maybe that's the end game.

[malaise]

15. Tell you what

Insurers need to add a new clause - if you think your business is to inform the world of your every movement via social media,we are not responsible for your losses.

Why do so many idiots believe anyone cares where they are or where they are going at every given moment.

[Mosby]

24. maybe

To cover large amounts of jewelry one needs a special rider to the homeowners insurance policy. I don't travel much but don't a lot of better hotels have safes in the rooms?

A lot of the jewelry she had did not belong to her, it was loaned for fashion week and if she did not follow their guidelines she could be in trouble.

Kanye just bought her that second ring, 20 carats so he must have some money.

[Exilednight]

19. Odds are that the jewelry was not even hers.

She was in town for Paris fashion week. Jewelers loan out jewelry to the famous in exchange for name dropping designers. $10 million is a lot in jewelry to be traveling with your own personal stash.

[obamanut2012]

20. The majority wasn't hers

[jberryhill]

12. How many people do you speculate might have been involved?

The difficulty with staging anything requiring the participation of more than a handful of people is that sooner or later, someone talks or the story otherwise unravels.

I have no opinion, but staging something like this seems like a very risky thing to do.

[Avalux]

13. Well, there were either 2 or 5 robbers according to Kim.

However many there were, they may have not been privy to the planning. They may have been hired to do the deed without knowing it was staged. Kim, Kanye and maybe only one other person as the go-between could have planned it, limiting the number of those in the know.

That seems possible to me, especially since Kim was staying at a private residence with no security cameras, and her insistence she stay there alone as her sisters went out accompanied by her bodyguard.

[jberryhill]

18. Actually, Kim wouldn't have to be in on it

It would be better if she wasn't, since you can bet they are going over her story repeatedly and looking for inconsistencies.

[Mosby]

25. maybe it was that pink panther gang

They have stolen hundreds of millions over the years.

[jberryhill]

27. Clearly, Inspector Clouseau should be on the trail of her booty

Or maybe Inspector Gadget while he's at it.

[Warpy]

29. Cops have already said it smells like an inside job

meaning they're trying to scam somebody.

Who the fuck keeps ten million bucks worth of jewelry without putting it into a hotel safe or bank safe deposit box? That "celebrity apartment building" has to have a safe or celebrities would give it a miss in favor of one that did.

Who the fuck goes to Fashion Week without hiring the stuff instead of wearing that same old bling that they own and that everybody has already seen? She could have hired stuff even she couldn't afford for a nominal fee plus publicity for the jeweler.

Who the fuck robs a high profile star in person, knowing she can ID them later? Why didn't they wait until she went out?

Her story has smelled to high heaven since it broke.

[TreasonousBastard]

3. I don't buy it...

Who keeps 11 million bucks worth of jewelry on the table?

Who carries that much around for a photo shoot without security?

If I had to guess, I'd guess that whatever she had stolen were the fakes and the real stuff, if any, was in the vault at her jewelers.

[Nye Bevan]

17. I lock my Kindle in the safe when I stay at a hotel,

and it's worth quite a bit less than that.

[obamanut2012]

21. She wasn't at a hotel -- this was their penthouse home

[SoCalNative]

26. Exactly

my iPad and passport go in the safe. The only good jewellery I have I wear.

[LP2K12]

23. Most of us

can't afford a $4.5 mil engagement ring, but Kanye did. So, $4.5 mil of that was one item, normally worn on your finger. I know my wife takes her ring off sometimes when showering or removing makeup. Although hers isn't worth nearly that much.

[obamanut2012]

4. It was real, but staged imo

By someone who works for her and Kanye, and probably where they were staying -- no CCTV.

[OnDoutside]

7. There should have been a Don't care option.

[Cobalt Indigo]

8. The fact that she...

Snapchatted her jewelry left and right leading up to the "robbery", and the night in question she snapchatted a conversation between her and her sisters at the elevator of the hotel that she "couldn't go with them because she had just gotten her spray tan done and it needed to set" so she let her ONLY security guy leave with her sisters. This couldn't look more set up if she tried. I'm not buying her story at all.

[imanamerican63]

10. Trump is looking into it?

Just saying!

[CBGLuthier]

14. You forgot the option for, who gives a flying fuck?

[Nye Bevan]

16. I thought about it but decided it wasn't needed,

because I figured that anyone who didn't give a flying fuck wouldn't click on the thread.

Anyway it's interesting to note the overwhelming opinion of DU on this subject.

[R B Garr]

22. I read today that she and the police think it may have been an inside job.

That's kind of the only thing that really makes sense if it was a real crime. Otherwise, I thought it was more on the fake side. But she says she is suspecting a bodyguard because he would have known the exact timing for this to happen. Since a lot of these type crimes are committed by someone you know, that kind of makes sense.

It's hard to believe, though, since they are all about creating storylines.

[BlueStater]

28. Even if it's real, I still don't give a shit.

I'm not sure why a talentless famewhore getting robbed is so newsworthy.

[Nye Bevan]

30. Back in my day the only Kardashian was Robert.

And all he ever did was sit next to OJ Simpson in the courtroom looking worried. No naked butt shots, reality shows, or questionable jewelry robberies for him.

[betsuni]

31. Real. Most of the real things that happen to them happen off-camera.

[GWC58]

32. She's famous

for no reason, absolutely no reason whatsoever. Kim K is a talentless hack! Famous for being famous, that's it!!

[Travis_0004]

33. I'm voting option C-Who cares?
