The owner, Diaz, said he woke up to a phone call from his employee saying she'd been robbed. He said about $30,000 worth of jewelry was stolen.

"All the material things I can recover, That’s not what hurts me ," Diaz said. "Of course no one likes things to be taken away from them but I’ll be able to live. The worst thing that could’ve happened didn’t happen."

Detectives are investigating the incident.
