Woman Gets Back $30K Ring After 14 Years

nice story...

Whats sad Is I work for SFPD and did not hear anything about this LOL glad she got her ring back.....

Glad the owner got the ring back but I am lost reading this one. 14 years its been gone and was sitting in evidence for 2 years?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

It goes to show that you hold onto your receipts for high price ticket items. You never know when it will come in handy......

Strange, very strange.

She would need a police report for insurance purposes to make a claim of theft. If she claimed it was lost that is a different story. She probably knew, but couldn't prove, the ex-fiance took the ring.

From the article that mz66 posted: The woman took her ring off while preparing raw meat for dinner, and never saw it again. It was around the time that she and her fiancé broke their engagement, but she couldn't be certain she hadn't just thrown it away. She couldn't prove that the ring, which she paid for, was taken by the fiancé, so she never reported it to police.

Still the unanswered question: HOW DO YOU JUST SHRUG OFF A RING OF THAT VALUE??? Something's not right there...

Another issue: it is not stated whether she got insurance money for it. If so, the ring no longer belongs to her, but the insurance company who paid for it. My guess is that she doesn't want it advertised that she got an insurance claim for it, as now every insurance company will be checking to see if they paid a claim to her....if she keeps the property that now belongs to someone else, that's the same as stealing (regardless if the owner is an insurance company, which would have probably required a police report anyway of something that value, or someone else to whom she sold it, which is a possibility).

So many unanswered questions ( and will never be answered), where was it for 12 years and how did the two who tried to sell it come to have it?
