Jewelry Stolen From Home While Victim Vacations
Dear Abby | August 25th, 2025 | Letter 2 of 2
DEAR ABBY: I recently went on vacation and had my cat sitter come by twice a day as she has for the past five years when I travel. For the first time, I also asked a fairly new acquaintance I had met in a reputable spiritual center, and with whom I clicked quickly, to come by to water my plants and garden. I gave each a key. Some precious and costly jewelry has gone missing. These were the only people in my home. I don't make friends easily, which makes it more painful since I figure my only option is to cut them both completely out of my life, no questions asked, because what could they say? So I will never know and lose two key people. I guess my question is, is there any other way I can get my mind around (or over) this betrayal than to cut them both from my life without a word? -- VICTIM IN FLORIDA.
DEAR VICTIM: You state that during the five years your cat sitter came by twice a day while you were traveling, nothing was missing. Now that you have given a key to a fairly new acquaintance, precious and costly jewelry has gone missing. I see no reason to cut both of these people out of your life, but I do think it would be a good idea to change your locks and find someone else to water your plants. Perhaps the cat sitter would be willing? P.S. Have you made a police report about the missing jewelry? If you haven't, you should.
