President Donald Trump may need to hire better security at his Trump Tower home in New York City where at least two of the Commander and Chief’s tenants have reported stolen jewelry in the past few months.
New York Police are searching for a suspected jewel thief or thieves who has swiped more than $350,000 in precious metals and stones from multiple apartments in the high-end Midtown skyscraper where Trump owns a three-story penthouse suite.
With no strewn-about belongings and no obvious signs of a break-in at either apartment, investigators believe the silent heists were probably inside jobs, law enforcement sources told the New York Post.
‘It’s not somebody breaking into the building or roaming the halls, trying the doors until they find one that’s open,’ the anonymous source told the New York tabloid.

Art dealer Isabelle Bscher said someone stole a $117K Graff Diamond bracelet from her 59th floor apartment some time between September 4-9
Famed Swiss art dealer Isabelle Bscher, 33, who runs the Galerie Gmurzynska on East 78th Street in Manhattan, told police earlier this month that someone stole her $117,000 Graff Diamond bracelet from her 59th floor apartment some time between September 4 and September 9.
A 67-year-old female victim who lives on the building’s 42nd floor told police she discovered a Harry Winston diamond bracelet and a diamond-and-emerald necklace missing from a drawer in her closet.
The total estimated value of her lost luxury goods is $236,000.
The same woman said her set of diamond and sapphire-adorned earrings, a necklace and a ring vanished some time between June 21 and September 9.
Investigators have ruled out insurance fraud as a likely motive, the Post reported. Detectives are in the process of compiling lists of everyone with access to Trump Tower, including cleaners, contractors and various building workers.
