A delegate to the Republican National Convention says he was robbed of more than $120,000 after he took a woman to his Minneapolis hotel room.
The Denver man told police he met the woman in a bar, then took her to his hotel room at Hotel Ivy. Police say that once there, the woman made the man drinks and told him to get undressed.
The 29-year-old delegate told police that was the last thing he remembered.

This is almost too “good” to be true.
All the elements of a good urban legend.
I can’t definitively say it’s not- but I say that it smells.
If it *was* true, I’m betting that the police report would already be up on “The Smoking Gun”.
Moron, indeed!
The bling was worth $55k (unless it is an insurance fraud scam); but why was he carrying over $65k in cash? It is his right to carry all the cash he wants, but not very smart when plastic is so much safer.
Was his name Costanza?
Often, probably.
Was it his $120K? How did she steal so much?
On the bright side, at least he still has both his kidneys.
I hope he learned something from this experience.
Ah, being young, rich and stupid. Ain’t it great?
Yeah, especially for people who are prone to bringing women they just met back to their hotel room and letting her fix a drink for him. He also might want to think about getting some cheap bling for these occasions. I don't know about Denver, but here in NYC there are Nigerian guys selling bling off folding tables on the sidewalks, who could set him up with a gigantic super-shiny watch/ring/necklace ensemble for $50 bucks.
He can still say he got screwed.......
Same as it ever was.
What an old trick!
And a classic case of a man thinking with his digit rather than his brains.
Who knew that an RNC delegate would be such a metro? 55K worth of jewelrey?
He is 29 years old and he has a $30,000 watch. He has the connections that make him a delegate to the RNC. He doesn’t have the brains to know that you don’t take a floozy you hook up with in a bar back to your own hotel room.
Sounds like someone born into money and but not raised with common sense.
The problem with experience as a teacher is that it gives the test before it provides the lesson. This was a very expensive lesson.
Can we say...Mr. T ?
(I guess that just gave my age away)
“oh and some food stamps..”
LMAO!
I want to see this guy’s financial records before I believe this story. It’s a tad incredible.
Did the woman look like a bag lady who resembles Walter Matthau?
Maybe he picked up Barbra Streisand and she sold him Four Tickets to tonights performance, and airfare...That would be about $120k...
He should check his pockets for four Obama-Streisand tix...
What he is leaving out of the story is:
He had that much cash because he was a loser and assumed she was a hooker.
Idiots or liars trying to scam insurance companies.
