A bizarre incident at a New Zealand jewelry store has left authorities in a predicament. A 32-year-old man, who remains unidentified, allegedly attempted to smuggle out a valuable Fabergé pendant by swallowing it. The man was arrested minutes after the alleged theft and is currently under police custody.
The pendant in question, valued at $33,585, is an ornate Fabergé octopus egg inspired by the 1983 James Bond film Octopussy. Its unique design features gold, green enamel, diamonds, and sapphires. The man's decision to consume the pendant has raised concerns about his well-being, with police assigning an officer to monitor him closely.
The incident is a rare example of the lengths some individuals will go to steal valuable items. Police are now waiting for nature to take its course, allowing them to assess the situation without putting themselves or others at risk.
In other news, a rare crystal and diamond Fabergé egg sold at auction in London for a record-breaking $30.2 million. The Winter Egg, crafted by Peter Carl Fabergé, is one of only seven remaining opulent ovoids and features intricate details such as platinum and 4,500 tiny diamonds.
As authorities wait to see how the situation unfolds regarding the swallowed pendant, they are also grappling with the complexities of caring for an individual in their custody. The man's fate remains uncertain, leaving many wondering if he will undergo a successful digestion or if another octopus surprise is on the horizon.

. I mean, who tries to swallow a $33,585 Fabergé pendant? It's like, what's next, eating a solid gold toaster? 
I'm genuinely worried about the guy, though - swallowing something that valuable can't be easy on his stomach (or digestive system). The thought of him trying to pass the pendant in his poop is just... ugh. On a more serious note, it highlights how desperate some people get when they're caught red-handed (or in this case, with a mouthful of expensive jewelry). Anyway, I hope the authorities take care of the situation and the poor guy gets the help he needs 
Can you believe this guy? Swallowing a $33k pendant? I mean, I've seen some weird stuff in my time online, but this takes the cake! 
The fact that he's not even breaking out in hives or having a food coma is just wild. And now they're monitoring him like a hawk (no pun intended) because who knows what'll happen next? Will it come out unscathed or will we have an egg-xploding crisis on our hands? 
? I mean, I've seen some crazy stuff online, but this takes the cake 
We'll just have to wait and see how nature takes its course... or if someone needs to call in an expert, like a food poisoning specialist, ASAP! 
Fabergé eggs are literally works of art 
& btw, has anyone else seen those weird octopussy movies with Sean Connery?
