A delegate to the Republican National Convention says he was robbed of more than $120,000 after he took a woman to his Minneapolis hotel room.
The Denver man told police he met the woman in a bar, then took her to his hotel room at Hotel Ivy. Police say that once there, the woman made the man drinks and told him to get undressed.
The 29-year-old delegate told police that was the last thing he remembered.

According to the Hotel Ivy website, each room has a safe.
Naive and stoopid.....
What kind of 29 year old has all that stuff? He's either worked his way up the ladder extremely quickly (possible, but doubtful as he flashed the stuff), or has rich parents. Damn. If I had that money, I would not be flashing it around at bars in unfamiliar territory. If I had a $30K watch, $20K ring, and $5K necklace, I'd be afraid to wear them. My watch is $200.
I was at a business event once with one of the richest people in the US. If you didn't know who he was and saw him there he would have blended in with those of us in work mode. He wasn't wearing $65K in jewerly.
Or someone trying (and failing) to be "Face."....pity the fool!
I'm betting he was a Dem operative or plant. He sounds like a pimp.
With that kind of money, why didn’t he just order a hooker from an escort service?
Ahh, but there’s no chase. The thrill of the chase is the most important part. (And in his case, probably lots of booze)
STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES!
$1,000 cash, and the $64,000 he placed on the value of his lost faith in Humanity.
this was on the front page of the Pioneer Press today.
as if we needed more proof the PP is a biased rag.
that was for the insurance claim, right??
Another account mentioned a $1500 cell phone. WTF kind of cell phone costs $1500? Can it communicate with the dead, or an alien civilization?
I'm starting to smell an insurance scam....
I take it from the Hillary pic that, at the Dem convention, she realized that there were opportunities on both sides of the aisle, so to speak.
