A 32-year-old woman sent the police to her stepsister’s wedding after she stole the necklace that belonged to her late mom.
This woman started out by explaining that her mom passed away when she was 23-years-old. Her death was not fair, but it was preventable.
She spent years in therapy, and then her dad remarried to a woman that had a 25-year-old daughter. She did not get along well with her dad’s new wife or her new stepsister.
She never ended up being close to either of them, but she would sit down at the dinner table and be polite.
Then, her dad got very sick, and she ended up having to spend a lot of time with her stepmom and stepsister.
She’s currently the one in charge of her dad and the care he is receiving since her stepmom works a full-time job and her stepsister doesn’t actually help.
She also moved into her dad and stepmom’s house so that she could be right there to help her dad in his time of need.
“I brought with me all of my mom’s belongings and my stepsister showed interest in my mom’s necklace and asked if she could borrow it to wear it at her wedding,” she said.
“I refused and she tried every method to convince me. I had to put it in a place where I thought it’d be safe after my stepmother got involved.”

“As the wedding approached they both kept convincing me to let my stepsister have it…I stood my ground and told them how serious I was so they backed off,” she continued.
When her stepsister’s wedding day came, she stayed at home to take care of her dad instead of going.
That day, she went to the spot where she thought she had hidden the necklace well, only to discover that it was gone.
It was no longer where she had safely tucked it away.
She spent the next several hours looking throughout the whole house, but the necklace was nowhere to be found.
She then called up her stepmom, who revealed that her stepsister took her necklace and was wearing it at her wedding.
This meant that she was not going to be getting her necklace returned until after her stepsister came home from the honeymoon.
“I screamed at her to return it but she argued about not wanting to leave the guests and the wedding already started,” she explained.
“I told her I’d get it myself but she forbid me from coming saying she’d have to keep me out for wanting to make a scene.”
“I called the Police and explained to them what was happening. I informed them my stepsister intended to leave for her honeymoon with my property.”
Well, the police showed up at her stepsister’s wedding, and they were able to successfully get her necklace back.
Her stepmom was absolutely furious with her for what she chose to do, and felt humiliated by the whole scene it made.
She might have been too quick to involve the authorities in this family situation, but she was seriously concerned that she would never get her necklace returned to her, not even after the honeymoon.
