<p>[QUOTE="ola402, post: 10363617, member: 182"]That's a good plan. When my mom passed, we discovered that someone at the nursing home had stolen her wedding rings. Some years later, I was going through a box of old jewelry and found her other duplicate wedding rings (exactly like the one that was stolen). Many years before, her wedding ring had gone down one of the heating ducts in the house. They had furnace people in to try to find it but it had just disappeared down the vent. So her insurance covered it and she bought a new identical set. Then years after that, they added whole house air conditioning and one of the workers found the ring in the basement at the bottom of one of the ducts. It must have shaken itself through over the years. I love that story. Still have the rings and I gave my sister our grandmother's set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
