you not physically okay nobody wants to believe me so I guess they I'm um so I'm going run her on the computer see if I get emergency contact or phone number for her Okay the reason why I want to on the air cuz it's technically not a tie to Cas unless she need to know if she lost that yeah yeah yeah yeah I told that me see it's American Express and then a a one two American I think so yeah she said she thinks now these lockers that's only for employees that they would use while you're working right no honey it was at the spa oh you're at the spa okay in a spa corre and you you didn't see them you put your stuff in a lock working today right I just no I didn't know that that's I get there why were you there I was staying there for two nights I stayed there so you were staying there after work and just going to work no I was just no I told my boss I needed some time off because I just went through a disgusting breakup and I'm going through a really hard time so I left my apartment how long you were there for two nights two nights okay and then you went to the spa you put your bag with your belongings in that locker and then and then when I came back it was a different but I told them that did you lock it or was it okay master and did you report it to the spa people yes they know I I mean I I told Peggy no she worked so PJ National is like a hotel I know it became clear that she had been attempting to use the stolen card to secure a room in the hotel under pretenses as the officers continued their investigation it became evident that Lauren had been involved in similar activities in the past although she had managed to evade detection until now I don't know who work yeah well yeah it's it's so big you don't know yeah exactly it's it's huge there's a bunch of different I know you're trying to get information from me but like I don't know what did you say did you go to the spa ask and say hey I was here for a spa no because everything was happening so fast and I lost my ring and I was freaking out so and then they told me I couldn't even eat there they said cuz I I ordered food okay so on so on so you noticed everything was gone now you noticed the stuff was gone your stuff was missing which was your purse with what in it my wallet okay and then personal yeah yeah that's what I'm saying just normal purse stuff yeah you notice that and then you noticed someone else's bag was in there where's that bag this bag this is the bag you found and that was today what are you grabbing everything that was in the bag everything that was in this bag go no no no you I I just want to no de ta that's it I'm not saying I have to take it right now yeah my stuff was missing and it was replaced with that stuff so maybe they put it somewhere safe is what suggest yeah it's just odd that this wouldd very odd yeah but you know like but this all happened today you said like Signs some things or I guess that but this all happened today you said yes sir okay yes sir so I don't have my anymore but at least I have my pH right yeah and I'm actually normally a very responsible person that's all right so you noticed I guess I look pretty [ __ ] irresponsible right now I I didn't say that I feel like that I feel like I look so you noticed everything was gone of your belongings and then you no my purse was gone yeah all your stuff that was in your purse okay with my wallet yeah yeah and then this stuff was in there yep not my purse not not this here what that's what not mine all this stuff is not yours no okay so this whole bag was in the locker where you thought your stuff was okay now could it be that you went to the wrong Locker no maybe did you check surrounding lockers no didn't how long ago did this happen like estimated time I wish I could tell you U maybe a couple hours ago what what would you say like 10 8 1 maybe like 1 okay 12:30 maybe 12:30 all right um and you just grabbed this stuff and then just left you didn't go to the front or anything oh so the ladies I thought were helping me because which which ladies though Spa employees Spa employees okay I thought we're helping yes Spa employees were helping because the thing about the spa is it like like huge giant maze you know so it's like really [ __ ] hard to find where you're going and it was exactly that's what I'm saying maybe you went to the wrong Locker yeah that's quite possible that's very possible but Converse okay all right so after you left you grabbed this person's stuff left did this and you said you talked to the spa ladies yeah I know that's what I'm saying I told people that worked there that I had like my purse was Miss I told them that I told them that and they said they would find it like what do you want me to do like I just don't have it like I'm sorry I don't know what the [ __ ] why did you tell them that this is not your stuff do you want me to call them yes I did I told them I don't know where my purse is and I have this bag now and I thought what did they say they don't know what to say I I don't think they would them would call the spa have my stuff is that what you want yeah that would resolve everything actually and then we could figure out whose stuff this is and I still don't know why you would leave with this stuff with the evidence in hand the officers informed Lauren that she was arrested for fraudulent actions the hotel management cooperated fully with law enforcement providing all the documentation and evidence they had collected including surveillance footage and transaction records I thought they
