Winona Ryder was loaned $125,000 worth of Bulgari jewelry to wear for the Marie Claire Awards last Sunday in Madrid. And surprise, surprise, Bulgari never got it back. Winona claims the ring and bracelet were stolen from her hotel room which is a plausible excuse for someone that wasn’t arrested for stealing $5,500 worth of designer clothes from Saks Fifth Avenue in 2001. From TMZ:

After Winona left Madrid, the bracelet and ring turned up missing. There’s a report in a French magazine saying Winona claimed she went to the front desk at the hotel and gave the jewelry to the front desk, but the surveillance cam doesn’t show her doing that. The intimation — Winona stole the bling.

In fact, we know what happened. The morning after the event, around 6:00 AM, Winona checked out of the hotel. No one from Marie Claire was around to collect the stuff, so she left everything in her hotel room.

Our sources confirm the bracelet and ring did indeed turn up missing — the dress and other stuff weren’t taken. We’re told Winona never said she had taken the jewels to the front desk, and whoever planted the story may be covering up for someone who had access to the room after she left.

So… security cameras can be used to prove your innocence? Wow. Didn’t see that one coming. I’ll just be adding that to my “Reasons to Install a Hidden Camera in My Anus” list, right between “extreme impact porn market” and “irrefutable proof of alien probes.” Note to self: genius.
