As unemployment numbers increase, criminals become more and more bold. As I read this disturbing article, I sincerely hoped she had a recent appraisal so that she can at the very least receive the full amount of this jewelry asset's value. Of course, the sentimental value is priceless and irreplaceable.
Thieves Steal Diamond Ring Off Woman's Finger
Posted: 7:18 am EDT April 28, 2009
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Two men who posed as pest control workers stole a diamond ring right off the hand of a 93-year-old Orange County woman.
Police say the pair walked into Mary Starr's home on Friday. One of the men said he got pesticide on Starr's hand and would clean it off for her, but he slipped the ring off her finger instead.
After taking the ring the thieves ran out of the house and drove away. The two and one half carat diamond ring was worth approximately $20,000.
"I loved the ring. It had been in my family for a long time. And it had a lot of value to it," said Mary Starr.
Starr was not physically injured during the robbery.
