OMG - we had the dumbest robbers!

I was on the phone with a PTer.... dusting and taking stock while I talked. Wiping away evidence of their presence in MY room. I organized the drawers.... I decided to look in the top of the jewelry box to see what costume jewelry they left behind. Imagine my surprise when I lifted the lid to see that EVERYTHING was safe and right as I left it!!!!! The stupid robbers had no idea the top of the jewelry box was actually on a hinge that could be lifted up! WOOHOO!!!!

My engagement ring is there! My tanzanite ring is there! I am missing a lot of rings, but at least two of the three rings I cared about are still here! Unfortunately, they DID get my wedding band. I had left it in the small jewelry box that I keep on my dresser.

Hubby said its ok that the wedding band is lost. He'll get me a new one ASAP. Our 5th anniversary is next month, so I hope to have it by then. Its really important to me.

Basically, most of what they got was my Silver Jewelry Club jewelry! LOL all that "free" silver jewelry gone! Guess I need to order some more! They DID get plenty of valuable gold... all my necklaces, all my bracelets, and a handful of rings. I only wore silver earrings (I lose them too easily to actually wear gold) and all I had at the moment was costume or the free silver stuff

And... the cops called me back. He asked for the serial number of the camera. If the robbers are stupid enough to pawn it, they'll know. Pawn shops are apparently legally bound to report any and all serial numbers they recieve. Lets just hope they are stupid enough to pawn it. I want MY camera back.

I am so relieved and happy I could kiss the world! Yes we were violated but after thnking my whole world has crashed, I find out that they missed some vital things! I feel like a dummy for not checking the top of the jewelry box until tonight. But why should I have done so? Every drawer was pulled out and dumped on the bed or floor. I thought they took everything and the lid fell closed.
