What do I do if my Jewelry is Stolen?

If you've been reading my blog, you should already have gotten your jewelry appraised, and then reported the value of your pieces to your insurance agency. If you've done this, you can report the theft to your local agent, and get paid. Usually, this is the end of the story. Unfortunately, if the thief stole a family heirloom, which to you is priceless, you probably want to get the piece back.

The first place to look for your stolen jewelry is at your local pawnshop. Despite what many popular television shows will have you believe, pawnshops aren’t picky about who they buy from, which means that your thief might have decided to get rid of your jewelry there.

If the jewelry isn’t at the local pawnshop, you can check around at jewelry stores that buy and sell gold and silver, but you’re less likely to find your heirloom there because many store owners are able to tell when a person has stolen a piece by judging how nervous they are when they try to sell a piece to them. I’m very good at this, and make sure to never buy stolen jewelry. If you want to buy high quality jewelry, visit www.affordablefinejewelry.com. At this site, they offer a wide array of fine jewelry that will look great on anyone.

The final place to look for your jewelry is on the internet. Websites like Craigslist.org and eBay.com are notorious for being a place where people can easily sell stolen goods, because most sales are made in cash or through Paypal, and no records are kept.

Hopefully, this article enables you to find your stolen jewelry, because the last thing that I want is for you to lose a priceless piece of jewelry that means the world to you.
