A Mission Beach woman and some friends lost about $50,000 in goods, most of it in jewelry, when some of their suitcases were stolen from a van they were packing to leave for vacation, police said.
Among the goods stolen from 52-year-old Charlotte Kobey and her family friends included a $15,000 ring, a $10,000 pin and an $8,000 necklace, said San Diego Police spokesman Dave Cohen. The incident happened just after 4 a.m. in the 2800 block of Oceanfront Walk.
