Diamond Discount?
File this under the "ick" category. Though, actually, I'm sorry to say this is not the first time some idiot has swallowed diamonds and jewelry as a method for stealing it.

But, to think he kept doing it over and over again. I so would not want this thing back, no matter how much it's worth.

California Prisoner Swallows $25,000 Diamond To Hide It:

A diamond worth $25,000 was found stuck in a shower drain at a California prison. A prisoner there is suspected of stealing the two carat colorless diamond two years ago.

Bret Allen Langford, 39, is accused of asking the owner of a jewelry store to show him the diamond in April 2005 and then sped away. Police arrested Langford, but never found the diamond.

An investigator representing Langford told jail officials to search the jail's drains if they wanted to find the stone. Langford told police he stole the diamond and swallowed it and kept regurgitating it every time he was transferred.

Police say the diamond will be cleaned and returned to the jewelry store.


I wonder what they use to clean the diamond?
