Woman leaves $35K worth of jewelry in taxi

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City woman says she accidently left a bag in the trunk of a taxi containing $35,000 worth of jewelry.

Among the items was a $15,000 engagement ring she had designed herself.

Mariko Spigner, 42, told the New York Post she realized she had forgotten the bag as soon as the taxi pulled away from a friend’s apartment in
Brooklyn’s Sunset Park. But it was too late — the cab had sped off.

She says the missing items also included a $2,000 wedding ring, her green card and her Social Security card.

She filed a report with the Taxi and Limousine Commission, which is investigating. The bag hasn’t been turned in yet.
