Poor Kelly Bensimon.

The 47-year-old former Real Housewives of New York star fell victim to theft over the weekend. She had a reported $50,000 worth of jewelry stolen out of her Cadillac Escalade while in Martha's Vineyard, Mass.

"These pieces of jewelry are not just objects, but my favorite pieces that I wear everyday! They are my signature pieces! These were to be passed on to my daughters as heirlooms, so that is obviously upsetting," she told Bravo's The Daily Dish.

"I am so grateful for all of the outreach regarding my stolen jewelry. Everyone has been so kind and helpful, it really means a lot to me. Whoever turns in the jewelry will be offered a reward. Fingers crossed!" she continued.

Any information regarding this matter is asked to be submitted to the Edgartown, Mass. police department.

He got arrested, and immediately went back to her lavish estate after his release. After not learning his lesson, he was arrested again, but was released in a matter of days. Most recently, he was admitted to a mental health facility on June 20 for a mandatory stay of at least 30 days.

Sandra immediately called police when she noticed the man in his late 30s had gained access inside. It’s being classified as a burglary because the actress was inside at the time of the intrusion. It’s still unclear whether the man was a thief or a possible stalker.
