STOLEN JEWELLERY
I have had most of my jewellery stolen in the last couple of weeks. I am absolutely devastated as much of it are old family hierlooms. Rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and a watch have gone. Some of the items are very old english, therefore rather dated and rare, including a couple of unique pieces designed and made specifically for members of my family. I have a complete list if anyone should be offered pieces that would not normally be found here and are suspicious. The police have a list. I know it is a long shot but please if any one can help i would be eternally grateful.
I am sorry for you... you have to look for all the old shops...
have you had a "house helper/ cleaner"? if you feel you don't trust them, go and try to check...

we try to help you wizcake, but your original post was hhmmm a bit unclear, so we try to come with any ideas and suggestions...
You didn't mention a word about burglary. In this case, since you say it was a burglary, how come you didn't notice it right away? eh? May be it was not a burglary? may be someone that you know very well has done it??
Again, i try to help you, based on the information that you provide..

My jewellery was in my jewellery box in my bedroom 2 weeks ago, now it is not there. No i have not accidently forgotten where it was, this is thousands of pounds worth of stuff. We have been burgled. It happens. I was just asking for help, i will leave the police to do the detecting.
but again, has your house been robed? How did they disappear? Any clue who could take them? May be you replaced them somewhere else, and forgot about it?
It happens to my Mom all the time... once she put my passport in "very safe place".. we could never find it since then.. i had to apply for the new one..:)

Sorry, not very clear of me, i was upset when i wrote the post!! I meant that the jewellery was stolen some time in the last couple of weeks. I dont wear it often so dont visit my jewellery box every day! Whereabouts do you live britexpat, could this be an area that is being targeted???? We live in Gharaffa.
Grammatically it's nonsense!
yeah,brit.. that's what i also thought about..and that's how it sounds like....

"I have had most of my jewellery stolen in the last couple of weeks. " ..
Does this mean this was carried out over a period of time ?
there is no next time, family heirloom can not be replaced. PERIOD.
well wizcare i think you r quite careless to manage your things incidents can happen with any one but u say that it got stolen in days so becare full next time to protect u r precious valubles....
agreed, if the thief is from organised gang :-)
You reminded me about UAE's One Dirham coins scam, the metal was costlier than the actual value, created huge scarcity.
and how did that happen?
Victory, you are right. Normally, if you want to sell gold to the store, the store must ask for the police approval, i.e. you have to go to the Police station and get their approval. But.. there are some store in souk, that dont' follow this law. Yes, they give lower price for the jewellery, but they still accept it without the police clearance.

you are right novita77....
gone means gone....
try your best possible and start searching new one....
victory, anything works in the black market. You can just melt the jewellery and make a new piece out of it.
hope for the best...
please note that buying or selling of old ornaments in Qatar is illegal...
one has to provide ID#, photocopy etc to sell it officially.
Thief have to transport it outside the country to sell.
All the best!
really sorry to hear about it!

wizcake, try to walk around in gold souq, if you are lucky you might see your piece is in there.
We got our house robbed back in Feb. Lost all my family heirloom , wedding presents and everything else. Just like you the police made a list of it. Since then, never heard anything from them ...
