I was shaking my head at the guy talking about the $16K ring and the "can you cash a $100?" stuff.
According to him it's a $60K ring.
It's been a long time since I lived down there, but there always seems to be a "rest of the story" behind much of the stuff that goes on there. I briefly dated a gal down there, who also shot a guy who was supposedly trying to kill her at 3 am...it was a her husband. Unfortunately for her, the jury (and evidence) didn't support her defense claim, and she went to prison for a couple of years. I met her after she shot him, but before the trial, and I didn't know anything about it when we were going out....I just thought she was super hot...and loved her Porsche Carrera Turbo (it was actually her dead husbands). Turned out she was somewhat of a drunk, a liar, and was probably guilty. Long story short- my opinion is jaded.
