Newz Forum: BASEBALL: Cubs pitchers stolen Jewels recovered

MILWAUKEE (AP) - An estimated $15,000 in jewelry taken this month from a hotel room where Chicago Cubs pitcher Matt Clement and his family were staying has been recovered, police said.

An employee of the Pfister Hotel was arrested and will be referred to the Milwaukee County district attorney for a felony burglary charge, Sgt. Ken Harris said Friday.

He said the employee has admitted entering the room where the Clements were staying and taking the jewelry, including an engagement ring and wedding band.

Police said the hotel worker led detectives to the jewelry at his girlfriend's home.

Clement, his wife and their son checked into the hotel July 4. They reported July 7 that the jewelry was missing.

Police said the jewelry would be returned to her sometime this week.

Moral of the story - Dont leave 15 grand worth of jewelry in your hotel room.

Where were they, swimming in the hotel pool or something? It mentioned a wedding band which I would think would be on their fingers. Maybe it was Matt's, I'm sure he doesn't wear it when he plays.

Yeah to be honest why carry that around with you. Wouldn't it have been better to deposit it in the Hotel safe?
