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.

Police say that when he woke

The man should be thankful that he woke. A novice at this type of theft could easily miscalculate the dosage.

You can be reasonably sure he was displaying the jewelery during his time at the bar.

I will say this in his favor, it takes courage to admit how foolish he was.

A3. I wonder if there’s an insurance angle here.

Bingo.

More information......

http://www.twincities.com/ci_10472581?source=most_viewed

“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.

The victim was identified as Gabriel Nathan Schwartz, 29, of Denver, a single attorney and a fixture in Colorado Republican politics. He was one of the state’s delegates to the convention this month in St. Paul.

Reached by phone at his law office Monday, Schwartz said that because the case still was under investigation, “I think at this point, I don’t want to make a comment on it.”

During the convention, Schwarz wasn’t shy about talking to the media. In an Associated Press article about Sen. John McCain’s acceptance speech, Schwartz was quoted as saying that as far as oratorical skills go, McCain “has more experience in his little pinkie” than Democratic nominee Barack Obama.”

“A fool and his money are soon parted.”
And part of his money may be going to the Obama campaign...one of “the little people” who are contributing all those millions every month.

Agree. And why was there a $5,000 necklace in the man’s room?

It is immoral to allow a fool to keep his money.

$4,000 earrings? Maybe he was really with a man.

She tried the same thing at the Democrat convention and made off with a toothbrush, an old Hillery picture and a pair of handcuffs, oh and some food stamps..

Now that's just silly.

We've all seen pics of DNC delegates. Do you honestly think any of them own a toothbrush? =D

The thing I find a appalling is this guy sounds more like an obnoxious big spending Democrat delegate: $30 Watch, $20K Ring, $5K Necklace (does he wear it?).

Probably owns a Cadillac Escalade with gold trim and a little poodle dog on a leash.

Who gave this guy a delegate position....I don't care how much he gave to the RNC!

who keeps 120k in cash in a hotel room?

Apparently a 29 year old, naive RNC delegate.

Something is fishy. The story states, “Earlier, Schwartz was interviewed during the convention and told a reporter he was for ‘less taxes and more war.’”

I think he was a plant or a goof.

At least being single, he didn’t have to tell his wife that he got a rash from the hotel laundry’s enzyme detergent..

Anyone know anything about the Hotel Ivy? Even if it is a mid-level hotel, it probably has cameras recording everyone coming and going into their rooms.

If he really did come back with a woman, she should be on film.

When he woke up, he was in a bathtub full of bloody water and one of his kidneys was missing!

“I think at this point, I don’t want to make a comment on it.”

I’m sure he doesn’t! I think I’d like to avoid discussing it at all if I were in his shoes.
