According
to TMZ, 'a guy called us at around 2:30 PM Friday and said he had taken
the dress from Lupita's hotel room after he noticed the door was ajar.
He said he and others took 2 pearls off of the dress and took them to
the garment district in downtown L.A. ... where they were told they
weren't real'.
The police had claimed they were
told the Calvin Klein dress was worth $150,000 (N30M), but the thief
told the site it's almost worthless.
The site claims the thief only returned the bag because he wanted the world to know "Hollywood's fake bulls**t."
The thief also told the site he's left the dress inside a trash bag found on the second floor bathroom close to a gym.
The

County Sherrif's Department who later went to the hotel and retirved the
bag carrying the missing dress.
