her return at 11:30 the ring had vanished, prompting her to report its theft. By Saturday morning the police and hotel staff were investigating the loss. “We will investigate all

possibilities,” a police source told _LE PARISIEN_. “Anything is possible. “But if we conclude it was the work of a high-level thief then we give the case to the organised crime brigade.”

PARISIEN_. “We would like to thank everyone working at the Paris Ritz who helped in the search.” The client was reportedly “pleased” that her €750,000 ring had been found. “We would like to

thank the police and the hotel’s team who investigated the matter in record time,” said the businesswoman's lawyers. The Paris Ritz offered the Malaysian businesswoman three nights’

free stay for the inconvenience. A room at the legendary hotel on place Vendôme usually costs upwards of €1,500 a night. However,_ Le Parisien_ reported that she was not likely to take up
