TSA Steals $100K in Bling

http://nypost.com/2015/11/01/tsa-sto...-from-luggage/
A Manhattan couple claims TSA agents at JFK Airport lifted more than $95,000 worth of rings from their luggage.

Natalie and Michael Hekmat were booked on a February flight to Los Angeles when they checked their locked luggage with JetBlue at the curb, according to their lawsuit.

Inside her suitcase, Natalie Hekmat had packed nine rings into a brown suede jewelry roll, including an $80,000 2.10-carat diamond ring and several others from the Italian company Pomellato, including a $3,050 ring with brown diamonds; a $2,800 ring with black diamonds; and a $2,350 amethyst ring.

“Upon arrival at LAX, [they] immediately inspected their luggage,” according to court papers, and “found that the jewelry roll had been opened and all the property . . . was missing from the roll. The roll was not taken.”
