"Bashful" Man Turns Out to be Diamond Thief, Aug. 29, 1925

“Bashful” Man Steals Platinum Diamond Ring

Greensboro, Aug. 28—A “bashful” young man, name not known, who couldn’t induce his girl to come into a jewelry store here to see some watches, managed to make away with a $400 platinum diamond ring, “palming” it and hastening from the store, police were notified today. It is believed he is the same nimble-fingered man who victimized a High Point jewelry store the same way a few weeks ago.
