Dear Annie: I think my sister-in-law stole a pair of earrings from my jewelry box. What should I do?
DEAR ANNIE: I recently found a pair of earrings missing from my jewelry box. These earrings had belonged to my mother. My sister-in-law spoke of wanting them and feeling (for some unknown reason that she herself could not express) that she deserved them. I have no proof that she took them. I don’t even know how long they’ve been missing.
What should I do? –Suspicious
DEAR SUSPICIOUS: If your sister-in-law took the earrings, then she has to live with herself knowing that she stole something. As they say, you can buy many things, but you can’t buy a good conscience.
