Hi folks,

I don't normally come on these boards, I'm normally on TTf and Records.

Not having a good day today.............. I've realised that someone has taken my engagement ring from my house. Now I,m pretty sure I know who it is and although I have asked her father she says she hasn't seen it. The problem is that "she" is 10 and visits her father every other weekend and has now gone back to mum (50 miles away).

I can understand that little girls love glittery things and that she may have thought... ohh that's pretty and just taken it, but when my own 7 year old as told me that so and so put one in her bag like that when she was packing to go back to her mums and I inform her father what has been said that she has still denied it!! I had hoped that she would have come clean and given it up.

I always take my rings off in the house and put all 4 of them together on the sideboard, thankfully my Grandmothers wedding ring is still there, but I'm soooo gutted to think that someone that I have invited into my own home has stolen from me.


What can I do? I've told her father that my husband is calling the police and reporting it stolen, but he states that "she" hasn't had it.

I have turned the house upside down, looked everywhere... even emptied the hoover just incase.


A totally gutted and heart broken, Dee x

So have you called the police?

No yet Amy, I'm hoping this girl will have a change of heart by the morning.. if not then I shall have to inform them.

That's an awkward situation but if she keeps denying it there isn't much you can do. She isn't a relative then?

aww thats not nice,especially if you think a child has taken it.
You must be upset,I know I would be.
Hope you get it sorted soon.

Could you speak to her Mum about it - and ask her to ask her daughter,
Kind regards, Liz

Hi Sue and Trish,


She's not a relative, just hoping that it "just turns up" like things can do when kids are involved.

Hi Liz,

unfortunately I don't know her mum, the girl just comes to visit dad and his partner every other weekend.

I feel for you BatMansDaughter. I would be gutted too. I would also call the police.

Oh that's awful....I hope that it resolves itself quickly and easily.

((((hugs)))

Thank you for your replies, all of you. xx

I think that by 10 in the morning I shall have to phone the police.

I think you are doing the right thing ringing the police. Sad but you really can't just let it go. Good luck - I really hope it can be resolved and you get the ring back.

Thanks Sue,

Going to bed now, probably wont sleep well tho.

Good luck with it Dee, I'm sorry that it has happened to you.

I hope you get it back and all is well.

I'm so sorry Deexxx

I hope it resolves itself.




we had something similar happen almost 20 years ago.

Invited friends to dinner, with their son (aged about 21 or so)

They arrived without him, he phoned later to say he was coming and "oh I have a girl with me"


My daughter had left her rings in her usual little dish in her (and guest) bathroom. Usually put them away when we had guest, but had forgotten on this occasion


Two days later we discovered that the silver ring she had bought with money left to her by my brother had gone walkies. It was a lovely First Nations engraved one.

We almost tore the house apart ... no sign of it.

Great suspicions, but no proof ....... and compounded by the fact that the boy's parents didn't know the girl, and were furious about him bringing her.

She might even have been a pickup off the street, although he did say he knew her.


Daughter has never forgotten it .... but has steadfastly refused any offer to buy her another First Nations ring, because "it wouldn't be the memory of Uncle Frank".

Hope today goes ok Dee.

Sorry about your loss,hope it is resolved OK. don,t forget to notify your insurance people.( Household Policys sometimes cover it ).**M**.

Afternoon everyone,

thanks again for your messages.

Police been and insurance informed.

Police will follow up on what my 7 yr old has told thenm, but as they have informed me it is 1 childs word against anothers so obviously it makes it quite a difficult issue.

I think I'm now resigned to the fact that it has gone, Ok I can buy a new one put it's just not the same. I just thank God that my Grandmothers wedding ring was taken, now that I couldn't have bared.

So it's chin up and remind myself that things much much more worse are happening to people everyday.

nooooooooo dont resighn yourself to if going,

i read once in a spooky magazine i read, patron saint of all missng things is st anthony, and to ask him to help you find what ever missing,

on a more likely note ,
having had experience of little girlys,
try saying to her , did you see it anywhere over weekend, maybe on carpet, or something,
or maybe it slipped into her bag when she was putting things away to leave,
see if she confesses then,

i hope so,
tell her it would help you because your so upset at missplacing it,
theres ways to trick a 10 year old into confessing,
good luck with it

Oh Dee. I am so sorry to read this.

I hope you can get it back, and get to the bottom it this mystery.
