Asala reveals that she "lost" her jewelry box during her tour in America

On Friday, the Syrian artist Asala revealed that she had lost her entire jewelry box after a concert she performed in Detroit, as part of her recent concert tour in the United States of America. Asala posted on her official Instagram account a video clip summarizing the atmosphere of her concert tour in America, and in her comment on the video, she said that she discovered the morning after the concert she performed in Detroit that her entire jewelry box was missing in the hotel where she was staying.

The Syrian artist expressed her great sadness because these jewelry carry special memories of her, from her children and husband, and gifts from friends whom she described as “precious” to her heart. She explained that the “moral” value of what she lost was very great for her, “other than its material value,” according to her expression. She indicated that the police were interested in the matter, but there was no news about what the investigations had concluded, “about a week” after the incident.

Despite this, Asala was keen to express her happiness with her recent concert tour in America, and she said at the beginning of her comment on the video: “Thank God, the goal of the trip to America was achieved, and I gave the best concerts in life, and I made thousands of people happy, and I was happy with all of them. The beginning was in Los Angeles and a great night, and then I went to New Jersey, and the interaction was like a dream, and the last concert was the second day directly in Detroit.” The Syrian artist noted that she did not initially intend to talk about this incident, and she explained this by saying: “I did not want to tell you news that would affect the journey in which I achieved one of my dreams and even exceeded my expectations with success, but this is how it happened, and after thinking, I decided to tell you the story that is beyond what you can imagine, and it overwhelmed me, but I will avoid it and continue on my way.”

The American website TMDN (Metro Detroit News), citing undisclosed sources, reported that the value of the jewelry was estimated at $6 million. The Click On Detroit website, affiliated with the local Detroit channel WDIV Local 4, published news about the incident on November 3, reporting that a woman (whose identity or nationality was not revealed) had been robbed of her “valuables” at the MGM Grand Detroit Hotel.

The site referred to the Detroit Police Department's statement about the incident on the morning of November 1, and a source told Local 4 that "the suspect is not an employee of the hotel in any way," and the police confirmed that the case "is still under investigation."
