ROME, Italy – Dionne Warwick returned to her posh hotel room in Rome Monday only to discover that $100,000 worth of her jewelry had been stolen, Italian newspapers said on Wednesday.
The thieves made off with two rings, a necklace, a Rolex watch and a pair of earrings left on a night table while the five-time Grammy award winner was preparing for a concert in Rome on Monday, La Repubblica newspaper said.
Oddly enough, the robbery occurred in the very same room at the luxurious Hotel De Russie where actress Cameron Diaz encountered a pair of thieves seven years ago, newspapers said.
Warwick, best known for pop R&B hits such as “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?”, “I Say A Little Prayer” and “That’s What Friends Are For,” will be on tour in Italy until Jan. 15.
