Actress Eliza Dushku's $4,000 Louis Vuitton duffel bag was snatched Friday in front of her hotel by two robbers who were wearing Halloween costumes. Dushku had been staying in Omni Hotel in Rhode Island where she attended the state's Comic Con.

Aside from its significant monetary value, Dushku said the bag had sentimental value as it had gone around the world with her.

The bag was stolen when Dushku placed it on the ground for a bit while she was gettinf her things from the car. She took to Twitter to update her followers about the incident.

"Was just robbed in front of my hotel a few hrs ago. Cameras caught everything: hotel/police/security weren't able to do anything," she tweeted.

Dushku said what was most frightening about the robbery was that the two bandits were in her hotel and that "nothing can be done".  

The 33-year old star said one of the bandits was wearing a gold-themed Caesar costume.

She continued tweeting throughout the night, saying she couldn't sleep, especially since the robbers could have been just right down the hall of her suite. She pleaded with Omni Hotel, sending them a message about releasing the photos and videos of the robbery.

She also posted a photo of herself holding the snatched bag before it was stolen, to prove that the incident she was posting about was not a hoax.

She captioned the photo, "Love you guys. Wasn't hacked. This was me, tonight. No one else could take selfie. Real deal."

Eventually, the robbers were nabbed and the actress once again took to Twitter to thank her 1.64 million followers, writing, "Update: men found in hotel, w/my luggage, apprehended & spending wknd in jail unit+. U guys helped this happen. I am VERY grateful. C u soon."
