Edinburgh Police are searching for a hapless thief who broke into a New Town jewellers on Friday morning making off with a haul of fake gems worth nothing.
The raider got into Austen and Blake in Hanover Street via the roof at around 5.30am before grabbing a haul of diamond rings from the display cabinets.
But little did the Scottish capital's would-be 'Pink Panther' know that the rings were actually worthless, with an estimated cost of about £3 each reports the Express.
