A €750,000 (approximately ₹6.7 crore) diamond ring went missing from its owner's hotel room at the Ritz in Paris and was later located in an unlikely location. As per reports, a Malaysian businesswoman told Paris police that her ring had vanished from the table in her hotel room while she went shopping. She feared a hotel employee had taken it.
Soon after her complaint was filed, the police and the hotel staff started to search the costly ring, and it was finally located in a vacuum cleaner bag. (Also Read: Taylor Swift's $12,000 Diamond ring goes missing at the 2023 VMAs)
