Actress Dress Stolen from Hollywood Hotel

At around 12:30 p.m., Channing walked into the lobby of the Renaissance Hotel located at 1755 North Highland Avenue. A bellhop placed her luggage on a cart and left it unattended.

According to investigators, a man carrying a black backpack walked into the front lobby and took one of Channing's bags and fled. Inside the bag contained a silver sleeveless dress with crystal beads and rhinestones attached. The dress is worth close to $150,000 and was on its way to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C.

The suspect was described as a male Black, stands six feet tall and weighs about 200 pounds. He was wearing a blue T-shirt, blue cargo shorts, and white shoes.

Please help me!!!!!

When I was out in CA, I met and hung out with this cop. His name was Joe or Jon. This was about 4 years ago or something. He has blonde....or dirty blonde........or ash blonde hair. He is a younger guy. He worked at night. He mainly patrolled around Hollywood. He lived with his sister. Could someone please figure out who he is and tell him Missy wants him for something. I had my vehicle stolen so I lost his number. The only number he had for me wasn't good.
I am actually on the East Coast right now, but I will be back to Cali soon and he is a must!!!!

Give him my email address!

Tell him to do the same thing he had to back then when he called and left messages for me. "Tell her Joe or Jon called." -- on the subject of the email.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE..........

OH GOD PLEASE...........

Was in the CHP, that description sounds familiar. Was his partner named Poncharella?

Do you have "baby" news for him? haha.

She lost her car, she lost his number, now she lost her mind!

Joe/Jon probably lateraled-over to another agency anyway. Check with Newport Beach PD or Anaheim PD.
