Oh my! What a well thought out scheme! Wonder if she is a PS member. Also, doesn’t she look quite disheveled after her arrest.

LOL
Somehow I don't think a PSer would risk jail time for that ring. Just sayin
I mean I love Costco and all but if I was going to covet (and plan to steal) a ring it would be a RING if you kwim.

My dad always said if you were going to be a criminal make it for something big and worthwhile. Risk vs reward.

Definitely!! If I were going to steal a ring, I'd go to Harry Winston!!

Strange story. I can't imagine that happening where I live because security is so ridiculously tight with jewellery you wouldn't even be able to attempt that scam.

Jail time for a 2ct ring. No thanks

I love that she buried it like some kind of crazy magpie.

I wonder if she has more buried treasure out there, let's all get metal detectors and go on a PS field trip!

Haha, now this was a good idea......
on paper!

I like her mug shot. And I can kind of identify lol!

I think the sales person at the second Costco should get fired and arrested as well. How can you not see the difference between a $2000 ring and a $28000 ring! I bet the sales person was in on the scam!

I like the smug look on her face.
"That dummkopf fell for the switch!
I should've gotten away with it!"

Most people cannot tell and don’t know anything about jewelry. A round rock is a round rock is a round rock.
