Saudi princess robbed in Sardinia

Italian police are investigating the theft of some $16m (£10m) in cash and jewellery from a Saudi princess staying on the Italian island of Sardinia.

The thieves used a master key to gain entry to her luxury hotel suite in Porto Cervo before ripping a safe from the wall, Italian media reports say.

They said the safe was only fixed with silicon to the wall in the suite.

Officials have not named the princess but say Italian and Saudi diplomats have had talks about the incident.

"The thieves used a master key. In 10 minutes at dinner time, without making any noise, they managed to remove the safe from a suite occupied by the Saudi princess," Italy's La Stampa newspaper reported.

The hotel is located in one of the most chic resort areas on the Italian island.

sodding hell!

Did they find the princess swinging from a rafter in the attic???

$16 Million sounds like a lot of cash & jewelery to be carrying around with you on holiday....

She must be gutted. Did the thieves take her phone and visa card as well? She could put them on the insurance claim, extra few sheckels.

$16m (£10m) in cash and jewellery from a Saudi princess staying on the Italian island of Sardinia.

So that is her holiday cash? It would be great if whoever stole it used that money to help the poor, imagine that! Doubt they would miss it.

This is like 100 Usd to most of us for her...

Quite sure this news will never be publicized back in her Country where plenty of poor people are surviving with difficulties, in contrast to their royals spending without counting and getting richer day by day anyway...

Chavez fucks the US out of that much on a daily basis, so no worry about a Saudi getting it in the ass.
I am glad to hear it, them Dago's is up again it financially.

A pity the people in her own country couldn't have benefited from that loot. Not that she probably gives a fuck about them anyway.

i agree that Chavez is a strange character. But i will say one thing on his behalf.
He does not let his country be robbed of its natural resources and enrich himself as so many others do.

This is like an '...and finally' story; it leaves you with a nice little glow.

[TizMe]

It doesn't leave me with a nice little glow... She's lost her vacation cash, big deal, daddy will replace it tomorrow without blinking.

I think that its pretty sickenning that a spoilt brat has this much in her hotel room while on vacation.

Care to expand on the above, you have my interest, why is he fucking the US, surely not by charging market price for oil?

Probably would have aroused suspicion if there was a false door in the back of the safe.

That will teach her to travel with only loose change

Not when your minted out of your head, and kicking it with the 'Infidels'. Chump change my good man just chump change.

Not that she probably gives a fuck about them anyway.

That's not fair I heard she loves her 'serfs' and sometimes lets them sleep in the house..

You should see what she had in her handbag. Had they got that then Daddy would be mad.
