I don't feel sorry for this woman
http://www.wgal.com/news/19577406/detail.html
She took her $16K wedding set off at the gym and forgot to put it back on and left without it. Now she has the news on this??? Seriously? I don't think this is newsworthy. I don't think she should have even taken her rings TO the gym. I leave mine at home or if I wear them I don't take them off while I'm in a public place.
Re: I don't feel sorry for this woman
Wow. i just think "this could so easily be me"
Usually when i'm in public (such as tanning before the wedding) i have always been aware of taking my ring off. BUT...recently i've lost my ring (around the house) several times a week. I take them off and set them on our windowsill or a bookshelf and dont even realize i've done it! I think DH is about to superglue them to me.
That being said, I would HOPE that if i take them off in public i'd be aware and put them in a safe place.
wow...16K for a wedding set? that's crazy...I am super paranoid about my rings and they aren't worth anything close to that amount.
Even if she has them insured, they might not pay, because they were lost due to her own negligence. It's not like she was wearing them and they fell off into a sewage drain or something...
Hopefully she will end up with a happy ending here, since the guy who lost the engagement ring for his girlfriend in Lancaster last year (he left the bag on top of the car or something???) had it returned to him eventually.
When I wear them out in public I never take them off.
Plus I don't know who would want to wear your rings to and from the gym after sweating up a storm your knuckles get all swelled from the heat and if you're like me they wont go on or come off until I cool off.
Hate to tell her that if somebody took them they could pawn them and then she's really up the creek.
With the economy who knows.
Why doesn't she check back in case somebody is considerate enough to give it to somebody who works there....
I guess they figure putting it on the news will make somebody not care about the dollar value, only that they'll look like a jerk for her forgetting her rings and they happen to have them.
Ah so interesting.
The Lancaster online article said that she doesn't normally wear her rings to the gym. She is a city school teacher and just forgot to take them off.

I still think she shouldn't have taken them off in public, or if she did she should have put them in a place like her wallet or something.
Hmm, this is why I have insurance for my (much less expensive) rings. I'd be crushed if I lost them, but I'd feel awfully foolish if I lost them in that way.
I read somewhere that a good trick is to tie them to a knot to the drawstring of your sweatpants for moments like these.
That is so sad, I feel bad for her because we all make mistakes. I take my rings off but I lock them up or always put them in my jewelry container so I know where they are.
I would be so sad though. Of course I have insurance but that never fully brings them back.
I totally agree! I forget things at times...we ALL do. I hope she gets them returned also.
I do feel sorry for her, but this isn't news. If I lost my wedding set; it wouldn't be news. Yes, we all make mistakes. Unfortunately hers is valued around $16,000. That's an expensive lesson to learn.
And does she really think that putting the value of the items in the news is going to help her get them back??? If someone is going to steal something, knowing that they're valued at $16,000 isn't going to make them turn them back in. She'd have had better luck making up a story that they were sentimental family heirlooms or something...
I feel for her, but then again I did the same thing. Left my e-ring in the gym shower a few weeks after he put it on my finger for the first time.
Thank God it was still there on the shower shelf when I called and the front desk clerk was honest.
Lemme tell you, though, I learned my lesson fast enough.
I feel bad for her too. She probably wants her rings back so she is willing to go through with the publicity. Without it places like pawn shops and jewelry stores might not be on the lookout for her missing rings. I hope she gets them back soon, this whole thing reminds me I need to check with DH to verify that mine is on our insurance policy.
Were were just discussing at work how when you are really into something (whatever - jewelry, cars, hobbies, decorating) that is your priorty and what you spend on it may seem silly to others. I think we all have our version of $16,000 rings (albeit maybe not on that high of a monetary scale).
I also feel really bad for her. I really never take off my rings unless working around the house, outside, dirty cooking, etc. and I'm careful where I place them. However, I think it is so easy for us all to make mistakes. Yes, taking them off at the gym and leaving them isn't the best decision, but not surprising and doesn't change the fact that they're her wedding bands--$16,000 or $1600.
When camping a few years ago, I had left my rings on. It got really cold at night and when I went to bed, my rings were gone. I was so upset but we thankfully found them in the tent. Not smart to take them off before the trip? Maybe, but it happens.?
But Abbie they already said that she typically didn't wear the rings to the gym...this was an unusual situation. Working in a gym you would honestly be amazed at the amount of jewelry we find in weird places. I'm sure when she took them off she didn't plan to forget to put them back on she probably just got sidetracked and didn't realize it until it was too late. I DEFINITELY feel bad for her. Can you imagine how much she's probably beating herself up about it and how she made such a costly oops?
I think Denise has a point...the fact that its out in the news might help her recover them if the person tries to pawn them somewhere in the area so while it might not be the most newsworthy item I can understand there being something about it.
