Bad date? Broward woman jailed for $30K jewelry heist at Miami Beach hotel: cops
A Pompano Beach woman is behind bars in connection with the theft of a Rolex watch and a diamond bracelet worth a combined $30,000 after cops say a man reported waking up to find his jewelry missing following a night out in Miami Beach. According to Miami Beach police, the incident occurred April 21 at the Fontainebleau Hotel. The victim told officers he returned to his hotel around 4:30 a.m. after a night out and met an unknown woman in the lobby. The two began talking, and she accompanied him back to his room. Once inside, the woman — later identified as Angelina Chenel Esty, 25 — served him drinks, according to her arrest affidavit. The man said he took off his Rolex Datejust and diamond bracelet, placing them in his jacket pocket. After consuming the drinks, he passed out. He awoke around 8 a.m. to find Esty gone — along with the watch and bracelet, valued at $20,000 and $10,000. Police reviewed security footage and found fingerprints linking Esty to the hotel room. The victim later confirmed her identity in a photo lineup. A warrant was issued, and Esty was arrested on Monday by Doral Police for a separate grand theft case involving another stolen Rolex watch. She's also a suspect in a similar ongoing investigation by Miami Police. Esty's arrest is similar to a broader pattern of so-called 'bad date' scams — cases in which women allegedly target men wearing expensive jewelry, gain their trust, and then drug and rob them in private settings. Earlier this month, another woman, Rachel Marie Warner, 23, of Las Vegas, was arrested in a nearly identical case.

They later returned to his hotel unit, where Warner reportedly made him a drink. After consuming it, he blacked out and woke up to find his $18,000 Rolex missing, and his phone tampered with. Security footage showed Warner leaving the hotel alone around 3:30 a.m. Detectives tracked her down weeks later and found two bottles containing a suspicious white liquid in her purse. Warner was hit with multiple charges, including burglary, grand theft and possession of a controlled substance. Esty is charged with second degree grand theft. Jail records show she remains at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center as of Tuesday afternoon on a $7500 bond.

Bad Bunny's vintage luxury watch collection, from Rolex to Cartier: the Puerto Rican rapper wore an Audemars Piguet to the Grammys and a Patek Philippe for his GQ shoot … both ladies' watches
Puerto Rican superstar and 'King of Latin Trap' Bad Bunny is in a league of his own when it comes to style. With nearly a decade of chart-topping hits under his belt, he's not only become the face of Latin hip-hop and reggaeton – he's looked the part every step of the way. He is known for his bold, genre-blurring style and his wardrobe reads like a visual mixtape: gender-fluid silhouettes, head-turning statement pieces and era-hopping references that span Y2K, 1970s glam and old Hollywood elegance. Bad Bunny at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles, in March. Advertisement That fearless approach extends to his watch collection. Like his fashion sense, it's not about the price tag or even exclusivity – though let's be real, he has access to the rarest timepieces out there. No, for Bad Bunny, 31 – real name Benito Martínez Ocasio – it's about the story, the unexpectedness, the cool factor. He's just as likely to wear a classic women's watch , with numerous vintage Cartiers, Pateks and Audemars in his collection, as he is a flashy status symbol. Here are some of Bad Bunny's most elegant and eclectic luxury-watch moments. Rolex Day-Date 'Wood Dial' The 'Wood Dial' Rolex Day-Date is a throwback to the 1970s. Photo: Handout Bad Bunny's preference for the unusual over the obvious shines through with this unexpected Rolex. Rather than opting for the flashiest model in the case, he chose a vintage Rolex Day-Date, a rare late-1970s reference with a wooden dial, reports GQ. It's a throwback that speaks to the era of wood-panelled cars and shag-carpeted dens, and feels right at home for someone who has never shied away from retro aesthetics.

When Bad Bunny made history at Coachella 2023 as the first Spanish-language artist to headline on the festival's main stage, the moment deserved something outstanding – and he delivered. He wore a rose gold Rolex Datejust, custom-modified by LA jewellery design house Shay Jewelry, who added rubies to the dial and replaced the original strap with a diamond-studded chain link bracelet by luxury fashion label Chrome Hearts.
