Some Good News Regarding the Burglary.....

[malta blue]

:bounce::bounce:

I found some of the pieces they took :woohoo:

I found a necklace in the driveway.

I found a ring in the snow AFTER the plow guy pushed it up against the tree :wow:

I found a little porcelain box that was missing, under my bed and the jewelry therein :bounce::bounce:

I am still down my antique diamond engagement ring, a pair of diamond earrings, my wedding ring and some other good quality rings, BUT, they did not get my grandmother's sapphire and diamond ring.

I am so thrilled that some of the pieces we thought were gone turned up, but it leads me to think that they were still in the house when I pulled in the driveway and they tore out the door like gangbusters.

My door has been replaced, and the security people are coming Monday to give me a quote.

I am still really considering another dog - one that will not be crated and will make someone think twice before coming in my house.

1. Yay

Good news. Hopefully a few more bits and bobs will turn up.

4. Yay is right!

:woohoo:

2. oh, I'm so glad some of the pieces are still there!

hopefully some of the others will show up at pawn shops, so you get them back! Or better still, the police track everything down! :hug:

I say get that dog. It'll be worth it to have another friend in the house. :bounce:

5. I have been cruising Craigslist and EBay too

as was suggested by a DUer.

Some of the things I found were the estate pieces, so it makes me feel so much better.

And that dog thing is gonna happen - I can feel it :bounce:

8. that's a really good idea.

I hope you find the rest! :hug:

Once you've got the dog, you have to post pics, so we can all ooh and ahhh.

12. I could never add a furbaby without posting pics....

We love the attention!

:hug:

9. The nearest pawn shops are where it will usually turn up.

3. Until you decide on getting a dog, get a "Beware of Dog" sign

and display in prominently. Many burglars, unless targeting a place specifically, won't even go near the house because of the noise potential.

Glad you found some of your treasured items.

6. I am going to do that later today

Thank you for the suggestion :pals:

7. I'm glad some of the stuff turned up

And yes, get a dog. From the pound. :D

Better yet, get three. I think my dogs would DESTROY anyone who came in the house. :bounce:

10. I'm so glad you found at least some of your stuff

Scary thought to think they may have been inside when you got home, though. Security AND a dog sounds good to me, if only for your peace of mind. :hug:

11. My dear malta blue!

What outstanding news!

I am thrilled for you, sweetie!

And what are the odds of you finding stuff outside, IN THE SNOW?

A holiday miracle, for sure!

:bounce: :bounce:

13. OMG! I am very sorry you're going through this.

:(

:hug:

I am very glad you got some stuff back. I hope the the rest is found, and the people who did this are caught.

14. Jesus, my friend! I am so sorry!

But I am very pleased to hear that you found some of your precious things. I sure know what it's like to me missing things that are important to you and mean so much. Rather than getting a large dog, you might consider a security system. At least the little guys would get along with that and it won't have to be walked... ;)

Rhiannon:hug:

15. That is terrible. It is awful when some creep touches your stuff. But it is only stuff.
