TOPLINE Staff at the luxury Ritz hotel in Paris have found a diamond ring worth more than $800,000 in a vacuum cleaner bag, Le Parisien reported, days after its owner, suspecting foul play, reported the jewel missing to local police.

Ritz security guards found the missing ring, worth an estimated €750,000, in the bag of a vacuum cleaner on Sunday, the French paper Le Parisien reported.

The discovery comes two days after its owner, identified only as a Malaysian businesswoman visiting the French capital as a tourist, filed a police report believing the ring had been stolen by a hotel employee.

According to the paper, the guest told police the ring had gone after leaving it in her room on a table and going shopping in the city for a few hours.

In a statement to Le Parisien, the hotel said it would like to “thank the staff at the Ritz Paris who mobilized for this search and who work each day with integrity and professionalism."

The Ritz has also offered the guest, who flew to London on Saturday, a three night stay as compensation for the ordeal.

It’s unclear whether the ring’s owner will take the hotel up on its offer and it is now in the hands of the police until she can collect it.
