A thief in Spain may have bitten off more than he could chew when he stole a diamond and then swallowed it, only to be caught when police made him undergo an X-ray.
Police said the thief stole the stone, worth about $16,500, from a restaurant in the luxury beach resort of Marbella. A British tourist reported that a purse with the diamond in it was stolen by two well-dressed men who entered a restaurant.
