A Danish thief made off with what's being hailed as the priciest bottle of vodka in the world.
Brian Ingbery, owner of Cafe 33 - the Copenhagen bar which housed the bottle, made of gold, silver and a diamond-encrusted cap- posted about the disappearance of the lavish liquor on Facebook.
He shared a photo of the bottle alongside a security camera still showing a man with his face hidden beneath a white baseball cap and high turtle neck swearer swiping the spirit from the establishment. Ingbery said in his Facebook post that someone entered Cafe 33 "with key" and stole the Russo-Baltique vodka. The bottle is believed to be worth about $1.3 million. It was produced by a car manufacturer called Dartz Motorz based out of Latvia, according to Newsweek.
The bottle design is a nod to an early Russian carmaker that shut down production in 1917, following the Russian Revolution, Deutsche Welle reported.
One of the brand's classic car models was carved into the bottle along with an inscription that read,"Family Relique Vodka Russo-Baltique."
A proprietor for Cafe 33 said the bottle was not insured. In fact, it didnt even belong to the establishment or its owner. A Russian entrepreneur reportedly loaned it to the faclity for show.
