A San Diego bride's wedding day turned into a nightmare, when someone stole from her while she was getting married.
Michelle Wilcox Tietz and her new husband exchanged vows June 7 in the Pala Mesa Resort in Fallbrook.
During the ceremony, she says someone broke into her bridal suite and took her wallet.
"Someone knew I was a bride, getting married and went in and took my stuff and knew they wouldn't be discovered,” she said.
She admits the room was “definitely chaotic” with family members coming in and out but she said she knew exactly where her purse was before the ceremony because she had to pay the makeup artist.
The next morning as the newlyweds stopped at a gas station, she realized her wallet was missing.
“That’s how we started our honeymoon,” Tietz said.
Through her bank's mobile app, she found $1400 in charges beginning at a gas station along State Route 76 and then at a number of stores in Escondido including Target, T.J. Maxx, Albertsons and CVS.
She’s hoping someone will come forward with information on the suspect and contact the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department in Fallbrook.
Tietz has even posted surveillance images from one of the stores to her Facebook page and has received a few potential leads.
“Please, somebody knows her. If she’s done it to me, I can’t even imagine it’s the first time she’s done it,” she said.
Michelle Wilcox Tietz says as she was exchanging vows with her now husband and enjoying her reception in Fallbrook someone broke into her bridal suite and took her wallet. NBC 7's Mark Mullen reports. (Published Saturday, Jul 11, 2015) Luckily, her passport and checkbook were in a suitcase along with some cash so she and her husband were able to still go to Canada for their honeymoon.
Tietz said the Pala Mesa resort and its head of security have been more than helpful. Even so, the incident marred what should be a happy memory.
“I’m always going to remember that my wallet was stolen from the bridal suite,” she said.
Donald Trump?
I doubt that. But maybe it was an illegal taking a break from his brutal schedule of rape.
I stayed at a Best Western with my family in Peroria, Illinois. The maids were all from south-of-border.
We packed to leave, then hit the “free” continental breakfast bar.
When we stopped for the night we found the meal actually cost us a couple hundred dollars.
So I’m thinking you may be closer to the truth than you thought.
Go Trump!
I have no sympathy for anyone who doesn’t have control of their cards, wallets, etc at all times.
I never trust the hotel staff. They have keys to your room and the opportunity. They know when you leave. Not all hotel employees are thieves of course, but all is takes is one.
“Bride” and her “Husband”...
What kind of madness are we talking about here?
Probably these two:
You knew there'd be a rebel flag in there somewhere...
Never, never, NEVER leave valuables in a hotel room. Don’t think you can hide them - hotel staff know all the hiding places. She should have given her purse to a trusted friend to guard. That’s what bridesmaids are for.
LOL!!!!
