That's beyond sketchy.

Agreed. Very sketchy. Good luck OP!

I'm so sorry!! I'd be devastated too. Please let us know what comes of this. Knowing who picked it up is a huge part of the battle. I hope you get them back.

I agree with the others. That is sketchy. I hope now that the police are involved, you'll be able to get your rings back. Good luck, and don't beat yourself up. Everyone gets distracted once in a while.

Thanks guys! The police still has not shown up & this makes me feel even more anxious because I feel the more time these people have my rings the less likely I am to ever see them again

By now I already know they are not honest people & have no intentions on giving them back, this happened yesterday afternoon it is the next day, they did not pick up their phones yesterday when the school called, they didn't reply to their emails, kid doesn't go to school today, and by now they would have reached out some how!

I had some people over at my place to help repair some faults and my regular cleaning lady who held my keys.

The next day, I lost my mikimoto pendant necklace (first wedding anniversary gift), a jade and diamond piece which can be worn as a earring or a pendant (I wore its twin out as a pendant that day), a Tiffany hoop earrings and some cash.

Never found out who took it but I never got my stuff back and I never had the repairmen and cleaning lady back again - just couldn't trust any more.

It was devastating to me - first the trust problem I had afterwards but the mikimoto necklace had sentimental value and the jade/ diamond piece is a perfect twin as my other one!

I cried in the night for a week

I am so sorry this happened to you! I would have done the same as you just wouldn't know who to trust in this situation. I know exactly how you felt.

I haven't been able to stop crying, I have a migraine, my stomach is killing me, and I feel like I will never get over this because it was MY stupid mistake! I did this! I was careless with the two most important pieces of jewelry to me. My wedding ring was specially designed for me, the diamond band was passed down to me from my parents so they are both irreplaceable to me! They mean nothing to the people who have them, but their financial value.

Keeping my fingers crossed that you get back asap!

If it happened on my university campus, the perp would of posted them on the lost and found Facebook page then delivered them an hour later with a complimentary coffee and pastry as a pay it forward gift. (happened last week, albeit it was a small gold ring that some girl lost at the bus stop).

I keep checking back in for an update. My heart aches for you. I sincerely hope they make their way home to you quickly.

 

[phillj12]

Oh geez, that is just awful! I totally know that horrible feeling when you've lost something you love! Fingers crossed for you!

 

[BigPurseSue]

How horrible, LVmyotherbaby! I hope you get your rings back soon. My DH lost his wedding ring and I'll never forget how very upset he was for days until we found it (we hired a local fellow with a metal detector who located it under the snow). Please keep us updated. Crossing fingers that they'll be returned soon!

I'm so sorry this has happened to you, LVmyotherbaby. I pray your rings will be recovered. To lose something so personal & priceless is truly heart wrenching.

Man oh man..I was at a concert years ago and my white gold bracelet--the piece of jewelry I have ever purchased with my first paycheck ever--flew off in a sea of screaming people. I couldn't look for it because it was way too crowded. Afterward I thought I would give it a shot and search with the light from my phone as everyone was leaving. Of course it never turned up

Those are such sucky, unfortunate stories did you ever get your bee pendant back?

Nope [emoji24] I'm cursed and naive. Never again.

Hugs. I hope you get your stuff back. More importantly, I hope you are healed of the hurt.

It was very difficult for me then. Even now my heart hurts a little when I remember this incident. And the worst part was some people around insinuated I might not have been nice to the part time helper and that caused her to take my things. I was very hurt by those comment because I certainly didn't feel so. And one person actually told me - oh but you may think you treat her well but you are not her. Faint. I was quite speechless afterwards.

But life moves on and I decided I'd always remember my beautiful pieces and memories of them and that makes me treasure what I have more. I love jewellery - always have, always will but from that incident on, I try to remember myself to look after what I love more.

Don't be hard on yourself for the mistake. We all make mistakes. I know how you feel. I really do. Time will make this get better and as my husband said - anything replaceable by money can't be as bad as something that can't be replaced by money (health, love ones etc)

Hi Guys! Thank you so much for all your support, and well wishes

Unfortunately I have nothing to report. We waited for the police at our home yesterday all day, and they never showed. So first thing this morning I went down to the Police department, and filed the report. My husband then contacted the detective at school with the case number & he said now they will take it from here, and call us later.

I will let you guys know as soon as I hear back, I am so nervous!

Oh no! I cannot imagine having your items stolen from you, and on top of your sadness & hurt someone accusing you on top of it, you must have felt worse

and you are so right about all materialistic items being replaceable, but not us! My husband got upset when he saw me crying, he gave me the tightest hug & told me the rings were not worth my tears, that my health was more important than the rings, and he didn't want me crying, or beating myself over this anymore (I have taken this very hard) and I am trying to listen to his & everyone's advise because it is very true, just hard to process KWIM?

Thanks again & I am so glad you got past that sad experience!

UPDATE: My husband just heard back from the detective, they had video surveillance on the boy picking up the rings, and have not been successful in contacting his parents. They interviewed the boy, and he admitted he found two diamond rings there & handing them to his MOTHER, and they were then seen getting into their car & driving off!!! So his mother was actually there with him & left with them!

They want me to bring them any photo I may have with my rings (I already have one ready for them & both rings are seen very nice, and clearly They also asked for any receipts on the rings I may have (Have all the paperwork for one) not the other since it was a gift from my parents!

This is where it stands as of now, but wanted to fill you guys in. Please keep your prayers as there is a little hope, even though it looks like this lady doesn't want to give them back
