With modern day technology, swallowing something you stole just doesn’t work anymore. This happened in Spain and lucky that one officer notices the motions of the man putting his hand up to his mouth. Now the fun part, recovery of the jewelry. BD 
A thief in Spain who stole a diamond from a British woman -- and then swallowed it -- was caught when police stopped him at a checkpoint and forced him to undergo an X-ray.
The theft occurred when two British women entered a restaurant in the luxury southern resort of Marbella and one of them left her handbag on the floor by her chair, police said in a statement.
"Two well-dressed men came in, one sitting at the bar and the other next to the woman," it said.
"This gesture and the fact that they had found the pendant without the diamond made the police think he may have swallowed it.
"To find the stone, those arrested were taken to a medical center where they underwent X-rays, and the diamond was located inside the stomach of one of them, who admitted swallowing it."
