Reports confirm that nearly $100,000 worth of jewelry was stolen from "Safe Haven" starlet Julianne Hough's Mercedes in Hollywood on Friday (March 8). Hough allegedly parked her luxury vehicle in the parking lot of a friend's apartment complex that evening, leaving three pieces of pricy jewelry (given to her as a gift from boyfriend Ryan Seacrest) inside. When she returned just a few hours later, she realized that the car had been ransacked and that the accessories were missing. According to TMZ, one stolen item was a $50,000 watch!
The two-time "Dancing with the Stars" champion was visiting a friend in Hollywood on Friday night when the theft occurred. It remains unclear if Hough accidentally left the car doors unlocked, since law enforcement officials report that there were no signs of forced entry into the vehicle. But when Hough arrived back to her Mercedes to drive home later that evening, she found the door open, the insides ransacked, and the $100,000 worth of beautiful jewelry missing.
TMZ reports that little other details surrounding the incident have been released... one known fact is that Seacrest is definitely a heck of a caring (and giving!) boyfriend! Wonder if the sparkly goods were a Valentine's Day gift for the adorable country songstress?
