When Connie Stevens, entertainer, departed after a stay at the Kings Castle hotel-casino in Incline Village, Nevada, she accidentally left $20,000 ($122,000 today) worth of jewelry in her suite.

Linda Cooley, a housekeeping team member, discovered the stash and promptly turned it over to the proper authorities. Stevens, who’d been robbed of jewelry recently in New York, got back everything she’d taken with her to Kings Castle.
