Someone Snags Bling from Tinley Hotel Room

An out-of-towner called the cops last week after he noticed that more than $1,400 in jewelry was missing from his hotel room.

The 60-year-old man, who was staying at the Holiday Inn, 18501 Convention Center Dr., called police around 5:10 p.m., shortly after he saw that a small pile of jewelry was no longer sitting on the room's nightstand.

The bling was stolen from the spot sometime between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.., according to the report. Hotel security officers opened their own investigation of the incident and identified the housekeeper who was cleaning rooms on the victim's floor that day. They also said they'd be conducting a car key reading of the room for the day to see who may have entered the room.

The general manager of the hotel said that a Great Estate Road Show was being held in the hotel that day, at which people buy and sell gold and jewelry.

The following items were reported missing:

• One tan, plastic jewelry box valued at $10
• One Pandora bracelet valued at $600
• One gold hearts bracelet valued at $200
• One gold mesh bracelet valued at $200
• One pair of diamond and ruby earrings valued at $160
• One pair of sapphire earrings valued at $160
• One pair of heart sapphire earrings valued at $75
• One corvette goody bag containing miscellaneous items and a gray travel mug and tire gauge.
