Jun. 14, 1952 - Pastor Angelo R. Cioffi(pictured right) was the leader of the Regina Pacie church in New York. The church itself had a shrine in which two crowns studded with diamonds and rubies were laid, valued at over 00, 000. He had to follow his own sermon when the crowns ended up getting stolen. A week after the theft, though, a mysterious package showed up at the pastor's house. Inside the package were the stolen crowns. A 1 1/2 carat diamond and 19 small jewels were taken from the two crowns. In spite of that the pastor is thankful for the return of the crowns, which had been blessed in room the year before
