Venezuelan model Veruska Ramirez, a former Miss Venezuela, was robbed of a large quantity of foreign currency and personal belongings and then kidnapped from her car for roughly three hours in the central city of Valencia, said her manager, Luigi Ratino.
The thieves saw a box in her car containing 15 calendars containing nude pictures of Ramirez. They asked her to autograph the calendars and made off with them, leaving her on a city street, said Ratino.
"They were surprised when they asked her name and discovered that it was the famous Miss Venezuela," said Ratino. "The funniest (part) is that they made off with 15 calendars."
Ramirez won the Miss Venezuela title in 1997 and was a finalist in the Miss Universe pageant the following year.
"They didn't harm her, didn't touch her," said Ratino.
