A little scary. I don't think that happens in Hollywood all that often or New York that often, and to have that happen in Milwaukee. This guy knew what he was doing, and he picked the right town to do it. |
He called on the phone a week and a half before this happened and said he was a doctor in from Houston, he was doing a residency program at St. Mary's and his wife had lost a 3-carat diamond in her wedding ring. He had an insurance check to get a replacement. |
He looked at the diamond. He gave me a credit card, transferred some funds over the telephone. We talked to somebody for an authorization number. It worked. I thanked the gentleman for his business and off he went. |
