Woman said she left $35K of jewelry in N.Y.C. taxi
NEW YORK – A New York City woman says she accidently left a bag in the trunk of a taxi containing $35,000 worth of jewelry.
Among the items was a $15,000 engagement ring she designed herself.
Mariko Spigner told the New York Post she realized she forgot the bag as soon as the taxi pulled away from a friend’s apartment Wednesday morning in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park. But it was too late – the cab sped off.
She said the missing items also included a $2,000 wedding ring, her green card and her Social Security card.
The 42-year-old Spigner is a Japanese citizen.
She filed a report with the Taxi and Limousine Commission, which is investigating. The bag was not turned in yet.
