The Hallandale Beach Police Department is investigating a grand theft that occurred early Sunday morning. It happened around 5 a.m. in the 2000 block of Atlantic Shores Boulevard.
Investigators said the victim met a female at the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood and they went to his residence in Hallandale Beach. At the victim's residence, police said the female requested a glass of vodka and persuaded the victim to drink out of her glass.
"He remembers clearly her being very persuasive and aggressive, and forcing him to drink out of her glass of vodka," said Major Pedro Abut with Hallandale Beach Police.
The victim believes the female drugged him and doesn't remember anything else after he drank the vodka.
"I was in such a fog from the drugs, the whole day I was in lala land. My head was in a fog from whatever she gave me. It really knocked me out," the victim said.
At approximately 9:30 a.m., the victim woke up on the sofa feeling horrible and the female was no longer inside of his residence. The victim's $47,000 gold Rolex watch was no longer on his wrist and he was also missing an $8,700 stainless steel Breitling watch that was in a closet.
Total value of stolen items is $55,700, according to investigators.

"It's a crazy, crazy thing. I could never expect something like that to happen to me. If it can happen to me, if can happen to anybody," the victim said.
The suspect is described as a white female, 5'8-5'10 and in her late 20's with black hair. She's approximately 125-130 pounds, has dark eyes, light complexion, and was last seen wearing a white shirt, black tights and white shoes with a dark purse.
"I just want this girl caught and whoever she's working with. I know my watches are probably gone, but I want her caught and press charges to the fullest extent," the victim said.
The Rolex had sentimental value. The victim's wife recently passed away and it was a gift from her before her death.
