GOP delegate's hotel tryst goes bad when he wakes up with $120,000 missing

He met her in the bar of the swank hotel and invited her to his room. Once there, the woman fixed the drinks and told him to get undressed.

And that, the delegate to the Republican National Convention told police, was the last thing he remembered.

When he awoke, the woman was gone, as was more than $120,000 in money, jewelry and other belongings.

The thief's take stunned cops.

"It's very, very, very rare," Minneapolis Police Sgt. William Palmer said. "I can think of a couple of burglaries where we had that much stolen, but it's the first time I've heard of this kind of deal."

In a statement released today, Gabriel Nathan Schwartz, 29, of Denver, put the figure at much less.

"It's embarrassing to admit that I was a target of a crime. I was drugged and had about $50,000 of personal items stolen, not the inflated number that the media is reporting from an inaccurate police report," he said.

The haul included a $30,000 watch, a $20,000 ring, a necklace valued at $5,000, earrings priced at $4,000 and a Prada belt valued at $1,000, police said.

14. My first thought also.
Pretty pricey stuff from Walmart.
Maybe the thief will turn states' evidence in return for amnesty.

So he goes home poorer after drugs, hookers and other shit stripped him clean
Big deal. GOP whiner. Typical.

Oh, and Gabriel? I suggest moving the hell out of Denver fast, go to some GOP stronghold like Bumfuck, Idaho.

8. Why doesn't this story pass the smell-o-meter?
"...a necklace valued at $5,000, earrings priced at $4,000 and a Prada belt valued at $1,000, police said."

What was he doing with expensive womens' articles if he just picked up a woman in a bar? I smell an out-of-town fence of stolen goods.

15. Looks like a lie
Scamming for insurance. He's a lawyer for cripes sake! He should be disbarred for this. If I lived in Colorado I'd sure be contacting the Board about this. HE SHOULD BE DISBARRED.

Sorry, didn't mean to shout....:evilgrin:
