What is the name of your state? Glenn County, California
Ok, heres what happened,
I had to get the seat of my jeep welded at a shop, so I took it there, you know, took my ring off, put it in the coin holder part of my jeeps center column, pull the seat out, it was welded, and I put it back, back on the road I go, I look down to grab my smokes I see my ring, thats good, I smoke and onto the junk yard, its closed so I keep going, onto the mechanic shop to get a smog check.
I don't think about putting my ring on, I was really late, and so I kind of just ran in, tossed the mechanic my keys like is normal (I've been there afew times) and he tossed them to his assistant, who reparked my car, the smog test went over well, I was in the waiting room watching like a hawk because by the time it was hooked upto the smog machine I realised I wasn't wearing my ring, and theres a no people allowed in work area sign, so I can't get in there, you know, so I watch the whole thing, and I get the keys back, I was the last customer there, they were closing shop, so I said thanks, and drove to the gas station about a block away.
I glanced down as I hit the intersection before the gas station (shop on one side, gas on the other) to see if my rings still there, it isn't, so I pull into the gas station, and look through the car frantically, I drive back to the shop, their still there, and I'm like "Wheres my ring!"
And all three of them (master mechanic, secretary, assistant mechanic) come out to look at the car to see if they can help, but the assistant just kind of leaves without saying anything, just walks away and gets in his car and leaves while the other two are helping me look, when the secretary noticed that my wire cutters with my name on them were on the roof of the car, why would they be on the roof of the car, they were in the little box where the e-brake fits when its down because I was splicing wires earlier that day.
So then I realised that someone touched something in my freakin car, you know, that its not just an accident, someone put my wire cutters on the roof of my car, which means they were looking around in my car, and touched my stuff, I'm cool with the mechanic and the secretary, so I said I don't think it was them, but I don't know about the other guy, so I drive home and call the police, its been two days, and they havent called me back, I've called them 7 times, and they said that everyone there says they didn't take it, so its my word against theirs and I can't prove anything, so the case is pretty much stagnent.
I only had the car out of my vision for all of 5 minutes when the assistant was parking it.
He's the only one I wasn't watching like a hawk.
This is my wedding ring, its very important to me, and I've only had it for all of 10 days so far, its brand freakin new, what do I do?
I can't just write this off as oh well, because its a $900 dollar ring, and its on credit, so I have to pay for it nomatter what, so what can I do?
