I FOUND MY RING!!!!
Shortly after SO, his son20, and daughter16 moved into my house I discovered that my tanzanite and diamond ring was missing. I ALWAYS keep my jewelry in a hanging display on the back of my bathroom door. I searched through all of my travel bags, duffel bags, the bathroom floor, drawers, you name it, I looked! I even announced to my household that my ring was missing and asked if anyone had seen it. No one had seen anything. In an effort to help future SD organize her makeup, and God there was a lot of it, I emptied out one of my pretty make-up organizer boxes. It had a tapestry design all over it with drawers that pulled out, folded out, and compartments for mascaras, eye liner pencils, the full gambit. As many of you know, SO and his "kids" moved out about a month ago and the "kids" are the ones who did all of the packing. They threw all of their things in garbage bags and their dad's things too. Dad and I are still seeing each other, but I have NOTHING to do with b---- daughter.
Yesterday, my son tells me he is out of contacts and needs to order another box. Last night I went his bathroom (this is where future SD got ready and kept all of her makeup) and started looking through the drawers to make sure he hadn't overlooked a box. When I opened the cabinet doors underneath the sink, there's my makeup box that I gave to SD. I opened it to see if she had left anything in it and when I pulled open the bottom section I discovered some of her jewelry and amongst it was MY RING!!! The little B---- had stolen my ring!!!! This not a cheap dinky ring by any means. My grandmother gave me this ring and it has 7 oval shaped tanzanite stones side by side. Then on each side of the tanzanite stones is a row of diamonds the same length as the tanzanite stones. I picked the ring up and it was covered in makeup, so I took it to my bathroom and cleaned it. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE B---- STOLE MY RING!!! At least I had sense enough to take my jewelry to a neighbor's house for safe keeping while they packed all of their stuff to move out.

I'm glad you got it back. Are
I'm glad you got it back. Are you going to mention it to anyone? She might claim you left it in the box and she didn't know.
I told SO that I found my
I told SO that I found my ring. All he said was, "Good!". I already thought about her using the excuse that I must have left it in there, but it was under all of HER cheap jewelry! I came home one day and she had worn a pair of my 14k yellow gold filigree floral earrings to school! I looked at her and saw them and said, "Oh no ma'am! You don't wear my jewelry and had better take it off now!" She just laughed and said, "Oh, well I didn't have anything to match my outfit." I told her that my things won't ever match any of her things again.
She hasn't been raised to
She hasn't been raised to have respect for any adults except for her dad. She acts like she's grown. Yes, I'm going to tell him. The way I plan on telling him is by getting the box out and opening it to hand him her jewelry to give back to her. I'm just going to say, "Oh! Here's SD's jewelry I found with my ring!" She had some earrings her dad would never approve of her wearing in there too. He barely allowed her to wear a small pair of hoop earrings because he thinks hoops look trashy on a girl her age. She had stuff she had to have picked up at her friend's houses and stolen from them. Can't wait to count the fillings in his teeth when his mouth falls open this time!
I have the same question as
I have the same question as realitycheckmom. Wow!!! The lies they say and things they pull!
Oh! Also forgot to mention
Oh! Also forgot to mention that I found one of my pink opal earrings in her top dresser drawer she was using while at my house. The other one was upstairs where it was supposed to be and I had been looking for it too! She's such a little B!
In hindsight, I shouldn't
In hindsight, I shouldn't have told SO about it and just gone straight to the box to get her jewelry where I happen to "find" my ring at the same time!
My daughter keeps her jewelry
My daughter keeps her jewelry in a thing in her bathroom, too. I've warned her so many times to keep it out of a common area like that..keep it in her dresser or anywhere but the bathroom!
I'm going to tell her about this.. not that the sd might not have stolen your jewelry given any opportunity. But the fact that it was there!
Glad you found your ring!!
It is MY bathroom where she
It is MY bathroom where she wasn't permitted to go anyway. This means that she went snooping through my things when I wasn't home. We even had a keyed lock on my bedroom door, so she went through a lot of effort to go on her treasure hunt!
Better hide it at a trusted
Better hide it at a trusted friend's house. The little suckers go through EVERYTHING when you're not home!
Do not underestimate his
Do not underestimate his ability to be in complete denial about his child. SD stole an expensive piece of electronic equipment from me that was given to me by my employer for work purposes. I looked high and low for that thing, thinking I'd lost it. I never accused SD, even though believe me it crossed my mind she might have it. But I had the charger, so it had limited usefulness to her. Fast forward three years and, while I am in SD's room I see an expensive bottle of hairspray I bought at a salon (I rarely wear hair spray so I figured I might as well get the good stuff). She had broken the nozzle so even though it was at least half full you couldn't use it. Then I look around and in plain sight see more of my stuff. So I get pissed and start actually looking. I find that electronic equipment in the corner on the floor behind SD's bed.
Told DH about it, and SD pleaded ignorance and told DH I must have put it there to get her in trouble. And, because he didn't have PROOF SD had taken it, he didn't do a single damn thing to her. I half think he believed her accusation of me, as he thinks I am SO MEAN to SD. Whatever. After he finally admitted it is more than likely that SD did indeed take my electronic equipment, he claimed it wasn't actually stealing because it was still in the house. SD had that thing for three years! How is it not stealing if you take something that does not belong to you? I couldn't use it, therefore it was TAKEN from me.
I agree. HE will not believe
I agree. HE will not believe her. Just hand him over the trash jewellery and say "Your daughter left this behind. Just let her know I have taken my ring and my other items out of the pile."
too odd, i always fear my
too odd, i always fear my ring will disappear. i very often throw it on the window sill when im washing dishes and when I dont and have to look for it SD always pops in my head first because she stole some jewelery from DD before. I will heed this warning, and put it away. but I can tell you if she touches this ring, I will in a new york minute call the cops. im sorry this is happening to you, well to all of us.
