Thanks for all the kind words, for some reason i have not been receiving the replies in my email, so forgive me for not responding sooner.

Alas they probably never be caught, no fingerprints were able to be found, so they probably had gloves, i imagine it was a quick in and out and grab, the jewellery was there for the taking and they took it. i do have insurance, but it is not the same is it,and i am just waiting to hear back from the valuers on thursday.
I am hoping i can replace most of it, but of course the sentimental value you can never replace.
Yes i managed to search my computer and found photos of me wearing it all, however some were not that clear, and i did not have a picture of the most valuable ring, but i did have an old valuation,so that should be enough,,fingers crossed.They took seven items of good jewellery and i am left with only four now, it really is upsetting,but what can you do, these low lifes are everywhere, living off others hard work.

yes i was relieved my house was intact and the kitties ok, as lexie was upstairs where they came to steal my jewellery, if she was on the bed she would have run under the bed,poor wee girl, if only she could talk ahye.

Yes has been a bad start to the New Year, with my mother being injured and needing taking care of , and then this,i am hoping for improvement,here's hoping..
