The haul included a $30,000 watch, a $20,000 ring, a necklace valued at $5,000, earrings priced at $4,000 and a Prada belt valued at $1,000, police said.

The victim was identified as Gabriel Nathan Schwartz, 29, of Denver, a single attorney and a fixture in Colorado Republican politics. He was one of the state's delegates to the convention this month in St. Paul.

Reached by phone at his law office Monday, Schwartz said that because the case still was under investigation, "I think at this point, I don't want to make a comment on it."

During the convention, Schwarz wasn't shy about talking to the media. In an Associated Press article about Sen. John McCain's acceptance speech, Schwartz was quoted as saying that as far as oratorical skills go, McCain "has more experience in his little pinkie" than Democratic nominee Barack Obama.

"Less taxes and more war," he said, smiling. He said the U.S. should "bomb the hell" out of Iran because the country threatens Israel.

Asked by the interviewer how America would pay for a military confrontation with Iran, he said the U.S. should take the country's resources.

"We should plant a flag. Take the oil, take the money," he said. "We deserve reimbursement."

1. He wears $4,000 earrings?

Does that not sound fishy? Or is there more that's not being reported?

2. That is friggin hilarious. What a total asshat. And a hooker stole his crap.

Allegedly, anyway.

Knowing this dipshit, he probably reported it stolen to scam the insurance.

What an absolute piece of shit.

5. Words that aren't even hinted at in this story:

"Prostitute" and "date rape drug." Wonder whether they should?

7. Yeah you slimy POS, someone plundered your resources, didn't they?

How does it feel to be invaded you asshat?

I never wish misfortune on anybody. But in this case, I have to say tough shit.

8. He deserved to get robbed because he's a jerk?

I'm not sure what to say to that.

12. He's more than a jerk. He advocates our plundering of another country.

He got plundered.

13. That is of course bad, but...

I just can't go there. Too much schadenfreude.

11. When I worked construction we use to run into this crap all the time.

I use to travel a lot and stay in hotel rooms with our crew. We had one guy that would always come back at 3:00 am and wake us up so we could pay his cab fare. He would always claim that he was robbed but the truth was he spent all his money, even his cab fare home on crack.
