A family visiting San Diego for a wedding lost $200,000 in  jewelry in a hotel theft.

Hangameh Mousavi says her family was visiting San Diego for  an Iranian wedding over the Memorial Day weekend and stayed at the Sheraton  Hotel on Harbor Island. It’s traditional to give jewelry to the bride and so family  members brought a lot of jewelry not only to wear, but also to give as  gifts.

“We have religious jewelry, stuff with Arabic writing,  prayers,” she explained. “Things from the revolution that they don’t make any more.  Things that have been passed down from grandparents.”

There was a conference at the hotel that weekend.
