Double doozy: Deerfield man lost $25,000 gambling & had $30,000 cash stolen by woman he picked up at casino
After a night of gambling and a rendezvous with a sexy young woman he took home from the casino, a Deerfield Beach welder suffered a $55,000 double-doozy loss, according to a sheriff's office incident report.
Guy Paul, 52, was gambling in the High Limit Room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood when an orange-haired woman wearing a leopard-print dress caught his eye, the report said.
She went by "Dana" and together they spent about 90 minutes drinking liquor and gambling.
When Paul's gambling losses peaked at $25,000, he called it quits about 4 a.m. and invited the woman to his home in the 1300 block of Southwest 29th Avenue, the report said.
Once there they had sex, he paid her and they went to sleep, according to the report.
When Paul awoke about two hours later, "Dana" was gone and so was five-years-worth of savings — $30,000 cash in $100 bills was missing from a bedroom dresser drawer.
Despite two messages left on Paul's cell phone, he could not be reached for comment Friday.
After realizing the $30,000 had been swiped, Paul jumped into his truck and drove around the neighborhood hoping to spot "Dana." He called her cellphone and got no answer. Next, he phoned the Broward Sheriff's Office.
Paul described "Dana" as about 26 years old, 5'9" and 140 pounds. She wore her hair in an orange shoulder-length weave and sported a leopard-print dress, Paul told investigators.
He was "positive that the money was in the drawer when he returned home with Dana, because he paid Dana for her services from the money in his drawer before they went to sleep," the report said.

“when an orange-haired woman wearing a leopard-print dress caught his eye”
A fool and his money are soon departed.
He was foolish enough to let her see where he kept his money?
He went fast asleep, leaving her free to roam and financial graze, as she did. Now his private life is public.
Is he sure that ‘Dana’ was even a real woman? As in from birth?
a fool and his money....
Sounds like Tony Montana’s kind of gal.
You have to love a country where someone as stupid as this can accumulate $55,000.
Florida has the best stories.
30 thousand in a dresser drawer? He’s a welder and at the very least he couldn’t weld up a steel box?
He is not the shiniest apple in the orchard.
Did she wear a matching leopard-skinned pillbox hat?
She wore her hair in an orange shoulder-length weave and sported a leopard-print dress...
I’ll bet that wasn’t all she was sporting.
A weave???
This guy is just lucky she was a nice girl.
I’m sure there are crewes out there that would
have killed him for that much money.
Forrest Gump was much smarter. Stupid is as stupid does.
She was a black woman with an orange dye-job
which she hoped didn’t make her look too Norwegian.
Undoubtedly she gave him something in return.....
What has happened to this world?
Sure sure. Thirty thousand huh? Why not call it 50? Heck make it an even hundred grand.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Well, at that point there isn't a whole lot left to say...
That was one costly bender....
