Pawn Store Chain Says Man Steals Ring, Tries To Sell It Back

PORTLAND, OR – It's Sunday evening at the All That Glitters pawn shop on North Lombard in Portland. A man in orange hat walks in. Starts looking around, appearing to talk on his cell phone. Stops at a case. Asks to see something. Walks over to another case. Points to a ring.

The clerk asks to see some identification. Store policy.

He doesn't have ID with him. Clerk won't let go of the ring. Also store policy.

The man in the orange hat then grabs the ring from the employee, bruising her finger.

And runs.

Employees at All That Glitters figure that' the last they are going to see of the $11,000 diamond ring.

Fast forward less than 24 hours. All That Glitters general manager Steve Souza is at their store on Division.

Man walks in with a ring, a beautiful ring. Wants to sell it.

Souza looks at it, asks the man where he got it.

Vegas, the man says.

Really? Souza says he tells him. Looks like a ring stolen from one of our other stores last night.

Souza jumps back as the man tries to grab the ring back. He misses and runs out of the store.

All That Glitters has their ring back. Guy's still at large.

There's a $1,000 reward for information leading to the guy's arrest.
