LAS VEGAS (KVVU/Gray News) – A woman was arrested Sunday for stealing a $12,000 Rolex watch and hiding it inside her genitals, according to police.

Sarah Richards, 33, of Baltimore, was in Las Vegas for a court hearing regarding theft charges from June in which police said she stole a $100,000 watch. While in Las Vegas for her court hearing on those charges, she stole a $12,000 watch, police said.

Richards is now facing multiple charges, including theft over $100,000 in value, residential burglary, grand larceny of $100,000 or more, administering drugs to aid in commission of a felony, and grand larceny between $5,000 to $25,000.

On June 4, a hotel guest reported to police that he believed the woman he was with the night before had stolen his Patek Philippe wristwatch valued at $100,000. He also said he believed he had been drugged by the woman he met at a casino, who was identified as Richards.

The man said he fell asleep in his room and woke up the next morning to find his watch missing from his wrist.

On Monday, Richards was set to appear for her preliminary hearing in court in that case. However, on Sunday, police responded to another hotel on South Las Vegas Boulevard.

A 911 caller told authorities a woman – later identified as Richards – had stolen items from his room, including a $12,000 Rolex.

Security found Richards, and despite searching her person, could not find the stolen watch.

The alleged victim told investigators he had met Richards in the hotel and later went to his room to drink wine. The man said he began to feel tired after Richards insisted that he drink more wine, and he began to doze off. He later noticed his watch was missing and confronted Richards about it.

Richards panicked, he said, and left the room.

When officers checked the room, they did not find the watch but did find the man’s wine glass with a white powdery substance at the bottom.

In addition, a metal detector wand passed over Richards “kept alarming around her vaginal region,” police said.

Richards agreed to take the watch out from inside her.

“She stated that we were going to find it anyways at jail, and she did not want to go through the hassle,” the police report said.

The watch was placed into a biohazard bag and impounded. Police said they also found a pill capsule that had a white powdery substance in Richards’ possession.

Richards’ Monday court hearing was canceled. She has since posted bond, and her next court hearing is scheduled for Jan. 10.

So, I’m sitting in a bar at a hotel in Aberdeen, Scotland. I just came in from a stint on a rig in the North Sea. A very good looking, well dressed, well groomed, 30’ish woman sits down next to me and she strikes up a conversation. We’re having a grand old time.

Well why not? I’m such a handsome young stud! Now, I’m flying out to London the next morning, and I’ve already called my better three quarters, whom I haven’t seen for more than six months, and told her to hop on a plane and meet me in London as soon as she can, so I’m not at all interested in this woman, but I’m flattered that I’m still such a stud.

“Would you like to get a room?”, she asks me.
“A room? I already have a room.”
“Would you like to go there? It’s only 30 pounds.”

KABOOM! NOW I GET IT! SHE’S A HOOKER! AND I THOUGHT IT WAS ME! THE STUD! I’M TICKED!

I make a great display of looking her up and down as she smiled at me.

“Nah, you ain’t worth 30 pounds.”

It’s a good thing I was young, strong, and had quick reflexes, or I’da been blinded, or killed on the spot...or worse!

DON’T EVER TELL A WORKING GIRL RIGHT TO HER FACE THAT SHE AIN’T WORTH THE MONEY! NEVER DO THAT! NEVER!

IT’S TRUE! HELL HATH NO FURY...BELIEVE IT!

Just soak in it rubbing alcohol and it will be fine.

I would rather have Omega Seamaster Chronograph, less money but lots of prestige. You can keep the Rolex.

“There’s a joke in there somewhere...”

Yes, but who’s going in there to retrieve it? And what else is in there?

In jewelry stores they would call it an "entry-level" Rolex.

No kidding.

I crack myself up.

Hopefully that watch has an audible device that tells you the time. Way too cluttered to read the dial.

There was a Vietnam war vet that bought a Rolex over there. He was just a grunt but heard all the pilots had them.

He finally bit the bullet and bought it. But he never used it as it was too expensive!

He had left all the stickers on the watch, receipts, etc.

Above is 6 minute video of it.

She could say it was to time her periods (flow activated).

Well I have the advantage of not being attractive enough to even think that an attractive young woman would have an interest without ulterior motives...also I have a wife who I consider the very definition of feminine beauty (being very biased on the point).
