According to an AP article, a man stole diamond earrings donated for an auction, and valued at $4,600.

Police said the man was arrested after he brought the $4,600 earrings to Wimmer's Jewelry at the West Acres mall. Store owner Brad Wimmer said the man had the original box along with the description of the jewelry.

"It was all very goofy," Wimmer said. "The value of the earrings was right on the description."

Charges were pending against the 23-year-old suspect, from Ada, Minn.

Wimmer's had donated the earrings to the North Dakota State University Development Foundation for its silent auction. They apparently were stolen from a storage area sometime during the Oct. 21-22 event, said Jason Wohlman, a development foundation spokesman.

Yes, he tried to get an appraisal when the value of the earrings was in the auction description.
