That is just awful gb. I'm glad to know that everyone is safe though, that is the most important thing!
About 4 years ago, we were renting a house in New Mexico. We lived upstairs and the landlord built the most beautiful $$$ furniture downstairs, he had a lot of valuable tools down there. We went to bed early, Ryan had been awake all night the previous night because he was working. I was lying in bed awake, I heard the landlord close up downstairs and he walked back to his house. A few minutes later, I saw flashlights and thought maybe our landlord had forgotten something and come back. Nope, the lock was picked and he walked right into our house. Ryan was dead to the world, asleep. I was shaking him and finally woke up. The intruder said "Whass up." And Ryan chased him pell mell. He had a truck waiting and took off. What bothered me too, was that they were watching us. They saw lights off upstairs, they saw them turned off downstairs and saw the landlord walk away. We never found the guy but I was so freaked! About a week later, we got our german shepard and every night that Ryan was working, I stayed at my mom's house. We didn't stay too much longer at that house. But, I'm sure the landlord was happy we were there that night.
Check the pawn shops for that ring, you could get lucky!
