A hot night with two sexy blondes — one a female bodybuilder — turned into a big-bucks rip-off for one Manhattan night crawler, when his dates stole thousands of dollars from him after drinks at The Carlyle, authorities say.
Kelly Keiser, 32, and an unnamed woman allegedly swiped a $10,000 check and a $2,000 Hermès ashtray from the back of a $150,000 car owned by victim Grant Gordon.
The 32-year-old vixen and her pal were sipping vodka tonics when Gordon and a male pal first chatted them up at the trendy Manhattan club Lavo on April 30, according to Keiser’s defense lawyer, Thomas Kenniff.
Soon the two playboys talked the women into joining them for more drinks at the posh Bemelmans Bar in the Carlyle. The best part of the offer was the trip uptown in the victim’s luxury car.
The group enjoyed their libations, but the night went no further and Keiser and her friend bid their farewells to Gordon and his friend and hopped into a cab. That’s when the evening turned from a bad date movie into a “Law & Order” episode, Kenniff said.
As the women were driven away, cops raced up and stopped their cab on the Upper East Side.
Keiser’s friend bolted from the car with Gordon’s ashtray, Kenniff said, and police started asking pointed questions to his client about the stolen item.
Gordon had apparently discovered his items missing and called cops. “My client has no idea how that stuff got there,” Kenniff said. “Cops ask her, ‘Where is the ashtray?’ and my client says she doesn’t know what they’re talking about.”
Even though Keiser claims she knew nothing, several items belonging to Gordon were found in her purse, including a $10,000 check, a utility bill and contracts, according to court papers.
Her lawyer said the cops looked inside the hobo-style bag, not realizing what was there.
She was charged with grand larceny and possession of stolen property, court papers show.
She is free on her own recognizance.
Kenniff said that his client believes her pal stole the goods and set her up — and that Keiser was so out of it after leaving the hotel bar, she may have been slipped a mickey.
“She has no recollection of leaving The Carlyle,” Kenniff said. “We are convinced that . . . she was drugged.”
The other woman is now on the lam and is identified in court papers as “an unapprehended female.”
