Thieves Steal $16M From Saudi Princess in Italy

Share

(Newser) – Thieves made off with $16 million in cash and jewels from the safe of a Saudi princess in Sardinia, the BBC reports. Investigators believe the burglars used a master key to gain access to her room in a chic resort and rip the safe from the wall. The theft sparked a diplomatic incident, and Saudi military officials and the Italian secret services were dispatched to the island, according to Italian media.

The theft took place in Porto Cervo, Sardinia's highest-profile resort.

Who travels with that kind of cash and jewelry? Seems foolish to me and hard to feel too sorry for her when so many people have nothing. Reply

There is money out there. Most workers just don't seem to know that.
