Jewelry is a Steal

I usually don't blog about many jewelry heists. There are just so many of them! Really, if you keep up with the jewelry news on-line, you'd be amazed at how many people steal jewelry.

But, this isn't your usual jewelry heist story. This could be a movie, and I'm sure there's someone working on the screenplay right now.

Doris Payne looks like our typical " little old lady," the type that made cookieslinks for the neighborhood children or volunteered at the church bazaar. Looks, however, can be deceiving, and that's exactly what she counted on as she made her way throughout the United States and Europe stealing high-end jewelry, mainly diamond rings because they were the easiest. At 75, her career as an international jewelry thief has come to an end as she's spending her time now in jail on multiple charges of grand theft.

I, of course, don't condone stealing of any kind. However, I couldn't help but feel her life was a little romantic, lonely, but also exciting too. I think one of the articles linked below summed it up well: " It's been a long journey. It was fun dressing up, fun forging this career all on her own. It was never about making money or spending it. It was about the game."
