Jewel Thief Swallows Ring

Jewel Thief Put on 72 Hour Toilet Watch

Simon Hooper, 28, wanted to propose to his girlfriend but was a little short on cash so he swallowed a $4000 engagement ring while the jeweler looked away. Police spoted the ring in an x-ray but had to put the thief under “toilet watch” until the platinum ring “emerged” three days later.
