Wow.  It looks like London socialite, Taiwanese Rebecca Wang just lost a nice chunk of her collection to a burglar who either has great taste in all things luxury or more likely- sees the resale value in them.  The thief took off with handbags and jewelry including:

1. SEVEN Hermes Birkin handbags valued at more than $75,000
2. Two pieces of luggage and four bags by Louis Vuitton valued at $15,000
3. A Cartier diamond ring worth $61,000
4. A $31,000 Chanel gold and diamond bracelet watch
5. Antique diamond jewelry
6. $20,000 in cash

She’s seeking $1.4 million from the owners of the Mayfair apartment that she rented for $9,000 a week because the alarm was defective (so her “general factotum” who was in the building-wasn’t alerted to what was going on in her residence).  And because the owners knew that she was “an extr-emely wealthy woman”, and yet, only supplied her a small safe.

The safe wasnt’ big enough for all of her valuables, so she created a “secure room”… that apparently wasn’t secure.
