#1 Then it will be cleaned and returned to the store.

Where it will be seriously discounted.

#3 It's typical for jewel snatchers to swallow the goods, so they are usually x-rayed. But an inventive fellow had a better idea. After he palmed a stone, then flipped a stone-sized piece of glass across the room, he put the real stone in a piece of gum he had been chewing, and stuck it to the underside of a table in the store.

He figured a confederate would later recover the stone. And it might have worked except he had a years old outstanding warrant for an unrelated offense that he didn't even know about.

Weeks later, while cleaning the store, they found the gum with the diamond in it.

So they added an additional charge to his old offense.
