With all the possible scenarios of auto racing mishaps..promo or not, this seems so foolish to even take a chance with something of this beauty and value! Or is this just my Mom (you should know better)sense taking over? "The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part"

limey Cut Rock Total Posts: 264 Last Post: 7/14/2004 Member Since: 3/4/2004	How can an 108-ct diamond be the size of a shirt button? "Jaguar has offered a new X-series car worth $45,000 to anyone who returns the diamond, which is about the size of a shirt button."

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,904 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	so the diamond is supposedly worth $322k and they want you to return it for a $45k car? Uhh..NO? Plus I'd rather keep the diamond. ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

researcher Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,440 Last Post: 5/26/2008 Member Since: 4/27/2004	This is one of the most ridiculous things I've heard of in a long time! What were they thinking in the first place? Let's ruin a 108 ct diamond by adhering it to a car! I'm sorry, but I don't buy it....

DiamondExpert Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,243 Last Post: 6/20/2009 Member Since: 1/16/2003	Something is wrong with the numbers!! My guess is that the stone is 10.8ct., not 108ct! Anyway, it was a pretty stupid idea - I wonder which stupid insurance Co. will have to pay up for this? - Perhaps it wasn't insured at all!...then it was a REALLY stupid idea!!
