Fake buyer steals billionaire heiress Kim Lim's luxury bag

What is a bag from the personal collection of billionaire heiress Kim Lim worth? The risk of arrest, it seems, at least for one person.

The 33-year-old daughter of tycoon Peter Lim recently cleared out her designer wardrobe over live stream on Instagram, putting many of her almost-new luxury bags on sale and channelling proceeds to charity.

With items from brands such as Chanel and Dior going for prices much lower than retail, the sale attracted more than 15,000 viewers, many eager buyers, and perhaps some fraudulent behaviour too.

Lim held two days of live-stream sales on May 13 and 15.

On May 17, the account she used to conduct the sale (@kimlimstuff) posted an Instagram Story which said a woman with long curly hair dressed in a blue T-shirt and light-coloured denim jeans had posed as a buyer to pick up a bag at around 7.30pm on May 16. The post did not specify which bag she took off with.

It added: "We have obtained (your) appearance from the camera record. Please contact us and return (the bag) immediately. Otherwise, we will take legal action."
