Thief dumps $1.3 million vodka bottle at construction site

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (KTRK) -- The world's most expensive bottle of vodka was stolen, only to be found empty at a construction site.

Police in Copenhagen said the gaudy bottle was stolen from a bar, and is worth $1.3 million.

The gold and silver bottle features a diamond-encrusted cap, but somehow, the thief missed these embellishments completely.

Authorities said the thief appears to have consumed all the vodka and then left the most valuable part at a job site.

The bottle wasn't broken, so the owner said he plans to just refill it.

"An alarm goes off, and approximately 90 percent of our inventory was taken out of here," said Art Gukasyan, of the vodka company.
