While in Manhattan on an, er, business trip, Steve found himself partying with two (2), er, women, at the Sapphire Gentlemen’s Club.
Steve took his business, and the two (2) women (one caucasian and the other one African-American), back to his suite at Manhattan’s snazzy Baccarat Hotel.
Thinking that he was smarter than he apparently is, when he got upstairs to his room Steve, who was carrying more than $6,000.00 in cash (AFTER leaving Sapphire… who know’s what kinda coin he dropped in the, er, Gentlemen’s Club) put his cash and his $590,000.00 Double Tourbillon 30 Technique watch (it is believed that the watch was a limited edition model cast in rose gold and that only 22 of them were ever made) into the suite’s complimentary safe… which he then apparently failed to secure.
And so it was that Steve would enter the bedroom with one of the women while the other one snagged the limited-edition watch and the cash from the safe. And once Steve had finished with one of the ladies in the bedroom he would report that the white call girl told him that she was going to walk her companion downstairs, and in the meantime they both left the hotel in a BMW convertible. The NYPD has images of the women from surveillance video and are attempting to use DNA they left on drinking glasses from the room to identify the suspected thieves.
After the fact Steve would go on record saying that he was so drunk that he couldn’t even recall meeting the women. Steve would tell the New York Post that: “The truth is, I was drunk. I don’t remember… [The incident] ‘was blown out of proportion.’ I mean, I’m on the front page of the New York Post… You spoke to my wife. You put it on the front page. I don’t know what to say to you.”
