Desperate to hang out with OMG NICK CANNON STAR OF DRUMLINE, a bag of jewelry from Fred Segal (a fancy store) agreed to hang out with a guy who introduced himself as A Friend of International Celebrity Nick Cannon, Star of Drumline, only to realize too late that this supposed Cannon confidant was really an impostor exploiting Nick Cannon’s international renown to pull off lazy jewelry heists.
Here’s how the heist went down, according to TMZ:
A guy who called himself Michael called the Santa Monica store and said he worked for Nick, and, being the hubby of Mariah Carey, he needed some jewelry STAT.
Michael asked the woman from Fred Segal to meet him at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood with the goods. The woman obliged, put the jewelry in a bag and drove to the Hotel.
A guy met the woman at the front door, but it wasn’t Michael … it was a guy claiming to be a security guard and dressed like one. The guy apparently indicated he would take the goods up to Nick’s room and come down with cash — in order to avoid paying taxes.
You guessed it. The woman gave the dude the goods and that was the last she saw of anyone.
Not sure anyone could guess that a store employee would just hand over a bag of jewelry to some random guy, but it’s good to know that, if you ever have to turn to a life of jewel thievery, it won’t be nearly as difficult as The Score would have led you to believe. [TMZ]
