MIAMI, FL — Investigators are looking for a woman they say stole a watch collection worth $200,000 from a Miami home on April 23, according to a news release from Miami police.

The victim left a nightclub with the woman around 1:30 a.m. and brought her back to his home to have drinks and hang out. He eventually fell asleep, waking up around 10:30 a.m. to find that both the woman and his expensive watches were gone, police said.

Video surveillance footage shows both the woman and the victim arriving at his home around 1:30 a.m. She’s later seen entering an elevator from the 36th floor alone while carrying a large, orange bag just before 5 a.m.
