While cast members Alex McCord, Simon van Kempen, Kelly Bensimon, Sonja Morgan, and Ramona Singer dined inside the Pierre Hotel for a gala celebrating the launch of Giorgio G Cognac, thieves absconded with $30,000 worth of camera equipment and crew wallets from the Bravo van. Just imagine emerging from an evening trapped in a dimly lit room swinging a camera to and fro to cover every neg-and-response volley only to find that your wallet had gone the way of a quaint faith you once had in the dignity of your fellow man.
