Jewellery Missing

marzipan74 · 22-10-2014 2:48pm #1

I have jewellery missing from my house, notably my engagement ring, eternity ring and two other items. I don't know whether or not to report it to the gardai or not as there hasn't been a break-in. There are other keyholders besides me, I don't want to get into too much detail but I have my suspicions, any advice please?

Are you 100% sure they are gone missing as opposed to have been mis placed? you wouldn't have taken them of to wash your hands or anything and forgot to put them back or? Or left them anywhere?

They have definitely not been misplaced, I haven't worn them in nearly two years.

can you confront the person you think took them? or even bring it up in conversation in front of them just to gauge their reaction?

I have told the person in question about the missing items, the very person who gave them to me as it happens, the reaction I got was a typical one, shocked about the missing items, oh god where could they be etc etc. I can't prove anything but I could still report the fact the items are missing, I haven't a hope of getting them back.

I'm not sure what the legal question here is - you know your legal option is to inform AGS. Would you like me to move this to Personal Issues?

I think in this case you are better of reporting it. As you have said, there is no way of proving that this person took them, its just your gut instinct. But report it anyway. Do you think if you told this person you were reporting it to the guards, it might scare them?

Moved from Legal Discussion.

I would mention to the other key holder that you've been on to your insurance provider (which may not be any harm anyway) and they've told you that you've to report it to the guards in order for them to deal with your claim. The guards will want to speak to the keyholder to get a statement ... This might put the frightners on them and the jewellery might suddenly re-appear !!

Do you actually want the items back or would you be satisfied with an insurance claim ??

When did you last see the rings?

Buona Fortuna · 22-10-2014 4:56pm

Marzipan just clarify for us. Are you on good terms with the other keyholder?

This person has a key to your apartment? Is that with your agreement or something you just have to put up with?

Would the gardai even take this seriously? You essential lost the rings, you don't know they were stolen and you can't prove they were stolen. It's not like they're going to send CSI out to you.

You're saying that you think the person who gave these items to you, took them and has a key to your home.
Do you get on with this person or could ypu mention that ypu cant find them and that you're thinking of reporting it and see what happens.

If you haven't worn them for two years, can you explain why you went looking for them?

OK the penny has just dropped the person who gave you the rings, and you are reasonably sure, took them from you is your husband, ex-husband?

Do you still live together?

Shouldn't you be giving these back anyway if the relationship has ended?

Personal choice and depends on a load of other factors. You don't give back an engagement ring if your husband of ten years leaves you. And eternity rings can be given on the birth of children. They can have great sentimental value, even after the end of a relationship.

Do you really think he could steal those things from you OP? Has he money issues? It just seems so sneaky and underhand.

Ask him over and tell him you want his help pulling the place apart until you find them.
