my cousin, Ingrid, is so careless with her important jewelry<\/p>\n
if her diamond earrings irritate her ears while she’s out<\/p>\n
she’ll take them off and simply throw them in her handbag.<\/p>\n
one time she called to say<\/p>\n
she lost her diamond bracelet<\/p>\n
it wasn’t in her handbag, she looked<\/p>\n
this time she found it wrapped in a tissue in her bathrobe<\/p>\n
miraculously, she had always found her missing jewelry<\/p>\n
she was lucky…until the day her luck ran out.<\/p>\n
she had a habit of taking off her ring while doing the dishes<\/p>\n
but this was a diamond ring she inherited from her mother<\/p>\n
it couldn’t be replaced, it meant so much more to her.<\/p>\n
on this particular day, she was having her house painted<\/p>\n
it was filled with painters in every room all over the house<\/p>\n
after the painting job was finished and the men went home<\/p>\n
at some point she remembered she left her ring on the windowsill<\/p>\n
well, it was gone!<\/p>\n
was it misplaced or stolen?<\/p>\n
she knew where she last saw it…now it wasn’t there<\/p>\n
this time the police were called in<\/p>\n
and the men who had painted<\/p>\n
were all asked to take lie detector tests<\/p>\n
all, except for the one man who flew home to South Ameriica<\/p>\n
right after the job was done.<\/p>\n
all the other men checked out.<\/p>\n
to this day the mystery of the missing diamond ring has never been solved<\/p>\n
was it merely misplaced or stolen?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
