Evil Stepfather

Just before we separated, my wife started wearing a ring that had been given to me by a friend.  I had that ring in my possession for over twenty years and it holds much sentimental value.  I told her, “you are welcome to wear it, but please don’t lose it as it is irreplaceable.” Shortly thereafter the temporary separation became permanent.  The ring, along with a drawing that also held great sentimental value, disappeared along with my wife.

Recently I asked her to please return those two items.  She became rather indignant about the whole matter.  She never said she didn’t have them or offer any kind of explanation, she simply refused to discuss it.

Given the circumstances, I must conclude that my ex-wife, Ildiko Weinberger, took them.  Whether by accident or on purpose is unknown, but it doesn’t really matter.  Even if they were taken by accident, her current conduct makes it theft.

Addendum: Shortly after posting this my ex sent an email saying she would return the ring if it turned up.  If she had done this in the first place I would not written the accusation.  Since, however, she had refused to discuss it, she forced my hand.  I’m not optimistic about the ring and drawing being returned.
