Her Aunt Stole $10,000 Of Her Mom’s Jewelry And Won’t Give It Back, So She’s Ready To Out Her For Cheating
This woman’s 58-year-old mother recently discovered that her jewelry, worth a whopping $10,000, was missing, and she believes that her aunt actually stole it. So, if her aunt doesn’t confess to taking the jewelry, she plans to expose her aunt’s infidelity.
To set the scene, her mom only noticed that the jewelry was gone while packing for a trip a couple of days ago. Most of the jewelry was gifts from her father or pieces her mom had purchased for herself years ago. However, two accessories were actually heirlooms from her mom’s grandmother.
“My mom really loved those pieces and took good care of them. None of it was insured, and she is completely heartbroken,” she said.
She wasn’t at home when her mom realized the jewelry was nowhere to be found. Rather, her mom had been getting ready for her own trip and searched the entire house, to no avail.
To her, this didn’t make sense because her mom is an extremely organized person. That’s why she doesn’t think the jewelry disappeared by accident.
There were only four people who could’ve gone into her mom’s room around the time the jewelry vanished, too. They include her, her father, her aunt (who’s her mom’s sister), and her cousin (that aunt’s daughter).
Apparently, her cousin stayed with her parents for a few weeks while traveling from abroad, and in the past, her cousin had stolen jewelry from her mom. But that was a decade ago, and her cousin has grown up a lot since then, gotten married, and had a child.
“My cousin and her mother are not on good terms anymore, and she had a fight with her recently (regarding my aunt being unfaithful and my cousin’s dad showing her proof of the affair that’s been ongoing for years),” she detailed.
Her mom also asked her cousin point-blank whether she took the jewelry, and her cousin swore on her son’s life that she hadn’t stolen anything. In fact, her cousin didn’t even know where the accessories were hidden in her mom’s home.

Yet, her aunt, who’s 58, knew exactly where the jewelry was stored away since her mom had actually shown her aunt some of the pieces shortly before they went missing. Plus, a few days afterward, her aunt visited her parents’ house and slept in her mother’s room alone.
“There is no one else who could have taken it. We already double-checked the timeline,” she noted.
Even so, her mom is still torn about what to do and is trying to remain calm. Her dad hasn’t been told about the missing jewelry because he’s going to be furious, and her mom doesn’t want to rip their family apart. Not to mention, her mom is apprehensive about going to the police on her own sister.
She, on the other hand, is struggling to remain so graceful in this situation. Her mom won’t stop crying over the jewelry, and she hates seeing her feel so betrayed and powerless.
According to her, there’s even more drama to this story as well. It turns out that one of her aunt’s sons recently spent some time in the hospital, and it’s unclear who paid for his medical treatment. That’s why her mom suspects that her aunt might’ve taken the jewelry to cover the bill.
“If that is true, I can understand being desperate, but stealing from your own sister is still not the answer,” she stated.
Now, the big twist is that her aunt has been cheating on her husband, who found numerous messages proving that her aunt had been talking to another married man. But her aunt’s husband only showed them to their daughter, not their sons, and their daughter proceeded to tell her mom.
So, she knows about her aunt’s infidelity, even though her aunt’s sons are still in the dark. And her aunt is trying extremely hard to keep the truth away from her boys by denying the accusations and acting like everything is fine.
But with her mom’s jewelry missing, she wants to use the cheating as ammo. More specifically, if her aunt doesn’t own up to taking the pieces, she plans to tell her sons everything. She’s simply sick of watching her mom suffer over this.
“My mom would never take revenge, but I will. She does not deserve to carry this pain alone,” she reasoned.
“I don’t want to make my mom regret telling me, but I really want her to get the jewelry back or the amount of money the jewelry is worth, although it would never replace the original pieces.”
She intends to confront her aunt soon and give her one opportunity to explain herself or return the jewelry. Her aunt could send it back anonymously or just leave it somewhere for all she cares. All she wants is for her mom to get the accessories back. And if that doesn’t happen, she’s going to spill the beans about her aunt’s affair to her aunt’s sons.
“I feel bad thinking this way, but I truly do not know what to do. And my mom is worried that my aunt will just put the blame on my cousin and gaslight her,” she vented.
Now, this has left her wondering whether there’s a smarter way to confront her aunt while still standing up for her mom.
Do you think she and her mom should go to the police? Or is there some way she can handle this on her own? What would you do?
