Sometime in the 19th century, a Hindu monk allegedly pried a 195-carat black diamond from the eye of a sacred Brahma statue — and was murdered shortly after. The gem changed hands across Russia and Europe, and three of its owners reportedly jumped to their deaths. In the 1950s, a man bought the stone and had it cut into three pieces to break the curse. One became the 67-carat Black Orlov. The other two have never been found. Decades later, Felicity Huffman was set to wear it to the Oscars — then changed her mind at the last minute.

One of Europe's most obsessive private car collections is about to be broken up. Ferraris, Porsches, Alfa Romeos, De Tomasos — 21 Ferraris alone, including a 1970 Daytona expected to fetch nearly a million dollars. Legendary German supercar dealer and former Olympic cyclist Fritz Neuser spent six decades building this garage. Now it's going to auction in Paris — 333 lots, every single one no reserve.

Steven Maa was in the middle of a cross-country move when he stopped in Colorado for a day of skiing, leaving his 10-year-old dog Rocky with a pet sitter. Minutes later, Rocky slipped his harness and bolted into the wilderness at 10,000 feet elevation. Maa searched through a blizzard until 3 a.m., then had to leave for California without him. Forty days passed with no sightings. Then a resident's Ring camera caught a small black figure moving through the snow. Rocky had dropped from 50 pounds to 26 — but when rescuers finally got him inside, he ran straight to the toy bin.
