Man has $30,000 Rolex stolen by girl he brought back home from bar
A Nashville man's date night took a turn after a woman he brought home from a bar allegedly stole his $30,000 Rolex.
Audrey Schump, 24, was arrested and booked into the Davidson County Jail when police recovered a Rolex that was reported stolen by a man who invited her back to his place after a night out at the bars.
Police received the report of a stolen watch on Thursday, June 12, by an unnamed victim.
The man told cops he and his friends had been partying in Nashville Thursday night when they started talking to two women before inviting them back to their Airbnb.
The two women agreed to go home with them and joined them at their place.
At some point, the man said he took off his Rolex Daytona and stashed it under a hat on his nightstand, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by WVLT.
He then headed to the bathroom, but when he returned he says he caught Schump reaching across the bed to the spot where the luxury watch had been placed.
'The victim states that he came back to the bedroom from the bathroom and observed the defendant reaching over the bed towards where his watch was located,' the affidavit states.
Schump then allegedly bolted from the bedroom and fled the rental home with her friend.
'The victim states that the defendant then abruptly left the room.'
The victim quickly called 911 to report the theft.
The unnamed victim gave police a description of the suspect's appearance.
Officers were quickly able to track the pair down just 'a block and a half away' from the rental unit.
Schump was arrested and taken to Davidson County Jail.
Officers found the alleged stolen Rolex was still on her at the police station.
Schump was charged with felony theft of more than $10,000.
She was released on a $25,000 bond.
Crime, including theft, has increased by about 11.4 percent in Nashville as compared to this time last year.
