Missing jewelry vanished then found in a different state.
I was at an emergency room out of state (Missouri), and was instructed to remove my earrings and necklace. The nurse collected them, put them in a labeled bag, and assured me that they take inventory and would be returned to me when I was discharged.
When I was discharged, my belongings were given back to me. Clothing was in the bag, but my 14k gold/ diamond jewelry were not in the bag. I immediately notified the staff. They called around, and “launched an internal investigation“. The issue was never resolved. I received an apology but they didn’t have an explanation. The jewelry was listed on the original inventory.
Fast forward 6 months when I had returned to Kentucky. My necklace and earrings were sitting together in the (otherwise empty) drawer of the nightstand in my guest bedroom. They were never mailed back to me. Duplicates were never bought. They were made by a small fine jeweler on Etsy. It defies all logic. It’s actually kind of terrifying. Make it make sense 😮💨
