Jewelry, cash and gold coins were among the estimated $113,100 reported stolen Tuesday from a home in the 1100 block of Hearst Drive, police reports said.
The jewelry had been kept in a safe but the key was discovered during the burglary, which occurred between noon and 8:15 p.m.
The homeowners left the house dark and the doors locked but noticed lights on when they came home and found their home had been ransacked.
Among the lengthy list of items stolen were a turquoise and diamond ring valued at $10,000; a 1.5 carat diamond ring valued at $10,000; an $8,000 necklace and earring set; gold coins worth $8,000; a $7,000 diamond bracelet; diamond earrings worth $6,500; a $6,000 gold bracelet; a diamond and gold necklace and earring set worth $5,000; three gold chains totaling $5,000; a $4,000 diamond ring; and $2,000 cash.
While there was no sign of forced entry, a broken key was discovered stuck in a decorative doorknob. Exit was apparently made through a bedroom sliding door.
Insurance fraud?
For some reason there is a lot of jewelry stolen from these parts> Now if you think about it, jewelry is hard to find in a house. All of a sudden, all this valuable stuff is gone. Hummmmm! This is a very fishy story. I agree with Harriet B. Insurance Fraud!!!!
My first thought is always that it was the help. A nanny? A cook? A butler? I change all of mine every couple of months because I don’t want them getting too familiar with my house. Low class people tend to do low class things.
Another possibility is that some of the union slobs who were brought in as muscle during the Walmart freedom struggle hung around and decided to further pad their fat wallets.
If I had that kind of jewelry I would not keep it in my safe. I think I might did a whole in the back yard and keep it there. I also have a big barky dog. Our safe is used to keep very important papers , those are papers that we want to save from fire. Don’t suggest that a person use a safety deposit box, they are not really safe anymore.
