Our aunt came over last Wednesday to stay for a night. She said she came from her daughter's house and it's late if she will still drive that night. As a sign of respect we can't shoo her off. That night, she slept at our guest room, but she is really acting strange. She locked the door and when I came down to get water that night, I heard sounds of drawers. I thoughts she maybe just looking for something to wear.
After breakfast, she said she want to take shower before she leaves but strangely she wants to do it on the one inside our room. She said it's more comfortable. Our guest comfort room is big and I just don't get the point why she want to use our room. She went inside and locked the room. After an hour, she is still inside and I started to get worried. Then she finished and went to the living room. I felt uncomfortable and checked my things. MY DIAMOND RING WAS GONE !
I controlled myself not to jump into conclusion and checked the drawers and cabinets, but it's just not there and I know where I put my things. She left her handbag on my bed and I had no choice but check her bag. I opened it with my hands trembling and IT IS THERE TOGETHER WITH THE CASE !
I took a photo from my phone and closed her handbag. I went outside and came face to face with her, then she wanted to leave because she needs to get home early. I told her stay because we need to talk but she just won't stay.
My husband arrived after her and I started crying. I don't know what to do. Its our relative and I am scared to be a cause of a big conflict in the family. I told my husband the whole story and showed him the photo of the purse. I was crying because it is very important to me and it is not cheap either.
Then my husband called her and she refuse to come, my husband said its urgent and it's either she will come or my husband will, she came and we talked to her in a good manner, and showed her the photo. Then she started screaming telling who I am to accuse her being a thief. She said she bought it. She said I am jealous and i am the one who wanted to get from her. She gave me one slap on the face and it made my hubby really mad. I wanted my ring back but she said it is not mine and only look the same. I told her the box has a bracelet inside too and my husband opened it and there is the bracelet my mom gave me.
She did not gave my ring and my bracelet back and accused me of being a bd woman. My husband was telling me to be calm, but I just can't until I have that ring back.
Today, I saw her daughter wearing the ring and my bracelet on her Facebook profile. I started receiving calls from other relatives telling me how rude I have been. This is a bad situation and it's starting to give me depression. I am very particular with my things... I want it back, but I don't know how. NOw, my husband won't let anyone come over...
If you were me, would you want it back? How?

Well I have to say this first. When you first realized that your ring was gone and found it in her bag, you should have taken it out of her bag and hid it somewhere. She would have never known a thing. Then you would just not have her over anymore. Now, since that did not happen, what I would have done then would be to confront her before she left. Then if she would have accused me, I would have physically taken it back form her and thrown her out and I would have told her to never come back. Look, just because she's family does not mean a thing. She stole your ring and bracelet, and you should rightly get it back. If I were you, I would tell your husband to go to her house and demand it back ASAP. Otherwise I would call the cops. I would have her put in jail. I can understand how you feel and I am sure those things meant a lot to you. Take action, do not let this go.

Since the ring has your initials, that makes it easier to proof that the ring belongs to you. Do not tell her that you have your initials there as she might quickly dispose the ring to earn quick bucks and to avoid further embarrassment. Make a police report or bring the police to take back the ring from her.

I believe that action is needed to be taken ASAP. Do not warn them of the fact that you're going to call the police. Now, since it's probably days since this happened. Call the police, show them the picture of the stolen ring and necklace, tell them that your initials are on the ring and give the name of the person that took it and how it happened. That would make it much easier for the police. I would not stop until I have my things back. As a matter of fact, I would start a family feud over this, I would also never trust anyone ever again. Tell your husband that you will never let this go, that you will be relentless until you have you ring and necklace in your hands. I would make everyones life miserable until I have won.

Yes, I have been asking myself the same things, why I did not get it the momnet I saw it there. I did not want her to feel ashamed. Her daughter nkw has the ring and they wont give it back. We are going to go to her house and tell her we will report to the police, only to scare her. The ring has my initials in it and I am sure she is not aware of that. I am still lucky she did not sell it to someone else. I wasnt able to sleeo fir days. I want it back but it seems like i will not be able to. Except my husband nobody beleives Im tellin the truth.

Maybe I would be rude but I would open your aunt's bug and I would take it out. I have no idea why did you hesitate to do it? It is your ring and she took it. She stolen it. Don't worry about relatives. They don't pay your bills. You do it. Go girl and take your ring back. I wish you all the best

I respect her a lot and upto the last moment I don't want her to feel bad. I thought that the rght person to talk to her is my husband. It is a shock and my knees felt weak when I saw the ring there. I also feel stupid now why I did not get the ring that moment. I cared about how she will feel if I confront her her, I was thinking she will give it back if my husband will talk to her. I guess there's nobody left to trust.

Aunt or no Aunt, Respect or No Respect, I'd have been yelling at her and telling her how bad of a person she is. I'd have taken the things back and told her that there was no way she could prove that she'd bought them, but I could prove that they were mine, and so she'd best leave before the law was called.
The fact that she slapped you, I'd have called the law and requested her off the premises and then have told her to never come back.

This is really tough on you. Some relatives are like this. I just wanna ask you if you have photos wearing your jewelry and to make sure that it was yours. Or to satisfy your own mother about the bracelet. If she really did bought it then she must show any proof of purchase! i will not let this pass whatever happens. And be sure your husband is with you all the way. just how thick her face is and letting he daughter wear it. i want to slap her ambitious face right now 
. This is the worst story i have ever read for the mean time here in mylot. You relative is really worst! I want to kick her and I know KARMA will come so soon. And some relatives are really calling you?And please try to explain to them. OR IF NOTHING HAPPENS then i hope you could sleep at night without your things. this is hard but the only thing you could do is the proof that it's yours and let her show her receipt or the place where she bought it. I hope everything will be fine soon. but a thief will never accept what she did.

If it was me, of course I want it back! You know, if I were to rewind what happened, I'll let you go back to the time when you saw it in her bag, and I'd get it right away without her knowing. Because that was very obvious that she stole it. But since it got to that situation already, oh, I'd be very mad too and upset. She even managed to slap you on the face in front of your husband? That's very cruel of her to do things at the same time and not to mention the bad mouthing behind your back! I got really frustrated for not getting that precious things from her bag. But I hope that you'll be okay. From what I'm seeing now, I think it'll be hard to get those at all. Please don't be depressed.

I'd like to say one more thing, Get it back, it doesn't matter if she gets mad again. It's your stuff and you have the right to get it back. Go, get it!

She took your ring and gave it to her daughter then flaunted it on facebook with her broke a$$..theres no reason to respect someone like this..

I also hope it's not true and it's only a bad dream, but it is true. Sadly, I still don't have my ring now and I am starting to lose hope that I will ever have it back. It's not an easy situation since I don't have anybody beside me except my husband. Everybody is thinking I am making stories and since it's their family, they will never be on my side.

I would definitely want my stuff back that is for sure. What I would have done was stole it back out of her bag and hide it. I would act like I did not know what she was talking about if she asked me. Since you know for sure it was yours it is your personal property to persue. How come your husband is not helping you get your stuff back? I would get the police involved if it means that much from you. How come if your husband opened the box and seen your bracelet that he would give it back to the aunt?

Oh yes I would! I would let her know that I want it back. If it's on her and her daughter's facebook, then I would write it in their walls that you want your ring back. If other people read it, then it's her fault for doing it. I wouldn't mind being thought of as a bad person by others, as you know the truth.
And then I wouldn't have anything to do with her family.

I'm very sorry about this but to be frank your aunt is so mean.I think she had a mission to take a possession of your ring maybe she had seen it earlier so she came to to your place with a very lame excuse and it worked for her.I think it's beginning to turn nasty since she has involved your other relatives please take heart and let it be.It seems that they have taken sides and didn't give you a chance to hear your side of the incident.Be strong and you have your husband's support,she may say anything about you but I believe soon or later her evil deeds will be unearthed.

Wow, that's horrible. I honestly don't know what I would do in that situation. at first it sounded like she needed money because the ring was valuable, but since she just gave it to someone, I don't think thats the case. have you tried contacting the girl who has the items? maybe you can talk her into giving them back. if that doesn't work, your only option may be the police if they won't return them. it would also be a good idea to find pictures of you wearing them if that was the route you went. you could also show them to the girl who has them, if she doesn't believe you. but that is such a bad situation to be in, I would've taken the stuff out of her purse when I saw it, but that's me. I'm really curious as to why she took them in the first place. I hope this issue is resolved quickly and painlessly for you, especially since its family.

I feel sorry about the incident that happend. What ever happends it is for good. You have known that your aunt is a thief. I am very happy that your husband has trusted you and he may he may have certain limitation on your aunt. I think you have done right that not taking ring when you opened her bag. Now its the time to prove that she is a liar. If you have photos of ring that you used must be shown to all relatives and tell what had happend that night. If you cant prove it leave this to God, He is great one and you will rewarded.
