According to major foreign media reports on the 10th (local time), a tourist named A from Malaysia reported to the police on the 8th that they had lost a ring while staying at the Ritz Hotel in Paris. The stolen ring was set with a 6.51-carat diamond and was valued at 750,000 euros (approximately 1.065 billion won).

Before leaving the hotel room to go shopping, A placed the ring on the table. However, after finishing shopping and returning to the room, A claimed the ring was missing.

The police, responding to the report, conducted an investigation considering the possibility of a high-value theft. However, the ring was found two days later, on the 10th, in an unexpected place. It was discovered inside the dust container of a vacuum cleaner used for hotel cleaning.

The hotel stated in a press release that it is presumed the ring was sucked into the vacuum cleaner during the cleaning process.

They added, "Thanks to the meticulous search efforts of the security staff, the ring was found this morning," and "The customer (the ring owner) is satisfied with this news."

Additionally, the hotel said, "We participated in this search," and "We want to express our gratitude to the employees who work with sincerity and professionalism."
