It doesn't sound like the most comfortable way to make money, but for $280,000, people do strange things.

I've heard stories of people swapping out diamonds and other stones from rings and general shadiness when it comes to the jewelry-theft trade, but to swallow a little jagged stone that could rupture, well, everything in your digestive system is a level of dedication I can't understand.

But hey, I'm sure that swallowing, attempting to pass, and then finally having extracted from your intestines a diamond is a holiday in the Bahamas compared to the prison time associated with being an international jewel thief.
