This also happened to me, but fortunately the amount stolen wasn’t anywhere in the neighborhood of 20k, more like around $600.
I called the owner of the company - who proceeded to tell me no one but me had ever complained of theft before - and that all of his employees were very carefully vetted.
He asked if my kids had taken what I listed as stolen (jewelry), or perhaps I had misplaced the items in question - items my kids did not have access to (they were babies at the time so the premise was ridiculous) - and the items were in a box, certainly not misplaced.
I got about $500 of free housecleaning as a “courtesy” from the company - which I promptly dropped. I wasn’t on Yelp at the time but would have posted it there.
I now use a very small, local, family-owned company and have had no problem whatsoever.
My guess the stuff stolen was marketable stuff. It is either for sale on e bay or at some pawn shop. Any “detective” worth his salt should know that and at least held out some hope of being able to put two and two together albeit the stuff may never surface.
On the other hand, bet if you told the dolt you were out hunting for the thief, the local swat team would show up and off you would go, either in cuffs or on a gurney.
No wonder a Pubbie can’t get elected in Virginia anymore, they’ve all gone Cuck.
I guess you realized it was your reading comprehension that was in need of work. 8>)
I’ve checked eBay for one item in particular - the most expensive one is a Hermes purse. It hasn’t shown up yet.
I think the rest went to consignment shops since they were all clothes except for one thing - a large painting of an elephant. I suspect that is in the thief’s house.
NOVA went liberal long ago but sadly the rot has spread.
My mom subscribes to the only daily paper available to her, the Lynchburg News and Advance.
When the Glass family owned it it was a conservative paper.
Even when it was bought by Worrell Newspapers it remained conservative.
When Media General bought it it began it’s leftward list.
Berkshire Hathaway now owns it and has completed the transformation to “progressive” rag.
An interesting note is that in an area with approximately 200,000 people they only have 35,000 subscribers.
The rag has gotten so bad mom only subscribes for the obituaries.
The tv stations are just as bad. Unwatchable.
The Virginia I knew and loved is dead, replaced by a blue hell.
Yep.
Two kids, school drop out, can’t write English, here illegally and lied to everyone about the rings equals a whole lot of “dumb, youthful mistakes” and she made $20 for boo hooing to the leftist liberal jury.
Once again, ICE is nowhere to be found.
Every time I’m called for jury duty, I’ll spend an hour or so on the internet checking out the thugs and their cases. The attorneys get upset when I correct them during voir dire on possible fines and length of time or if he’s way past his three strikes. Can’t imagine why I’m never picked but at least those who are have a heads up.
I have a legal Guatemalan housekeeper. Been with me for 5 years. She’s great. She’s in Guatemala right now visiting family for Christmas.
Did her employer know she was illegally employed? If not, why not?
If so, her employer should be on the hook for the thousands dollars it cost the tax payers to cover the investigation and trial.
I can’t afford a maid. Why should my tax dollars subsidize rich people hiring employees who are not legally authorized to work here?
Yup. You're getting another dependent but you can't deduct it on you taxes.
Amen.
Awe that’s so sweet..... she’ll do it again!
More money for her under the new Tax Bill thanks to Rubio.
Tax Refunds without paying any Taxes in the first place.
Is this a great Country or what?
I love these stories.
In Ohio. a lot of ranches border water capacity. In this case, a rancher was driving his tractor along the levy above the water reservoir that fed the local city fresh water.
As he was driving along, he saw down the hill, a man beating and raping what turned out to be a 14 year old girl. He yelled at the man, and the man rose, pulled up his pants and left the girl and started up the hill at the farmer. Big mistake. A lot of those farmers on their tractors carry shotguns. So, before the man could get to him, he bought both barrels and rolled down the hill into the reservoir, dead as dirt.
When they made it into court, the jury refused to find the guy guilty. But the judges turned around and fined the farmer $200 for littering a public drinking facility with a dead animal. The father of the girl stepped forward and smiled when he paid the fine. The judge was not re-elected.
Some people think there is no God. I like to think there is and his “miracles” come in strange forms. (And he/she has a real sense of humor, also)

I hear you. Far too often when I’m wrong,
I’m wrong at the top of my voice. Heh.
And she'll still vote Rat.
Better now that I have my bifocals on and a couple of mugs of java in me.
I hear ya. Guilty of the same thing at times. 8>)
