>>You got it. Even though the jewels were hidden, somehow....I don't even know where....they were taken. The checkbook belonging to my mother was stolen in a hospital. It appears there is a certain element in the Health Care Industry that feeds off the sick and dying.<< Had the same thing happen when my mom was in the hospital. She had a propensity for wandering so we hired 24 hour babysitters to stay with her in the hospital because the staff couldn't keep up with her. Her fingers were swollen with arthritis and her rings, which had been my grandmothers, were cut off her fingers while she was sleeping. The babysitters were hired through the hospital but they couldn't prove which one did it so nobody was ever arrested and we never got the rings back.

>>While she was sick the girls hired a nurse to stay with her during the weekdays while they were there at night. So, after the funeral the girls went searching for her jewelry...expensive stuff that was given to her by their father many years ago and one gem that was his mother's stone...quite expensive. You got it. Even though the jewels were hidden, somehow....I don't even know where....they were taken. The checkbook belonging to my mother was stolen in a hospital. It appears there is a certain element in the Health Care Industry that feeds off the sick and dying. << There is indeed. I was fortunate in that I managed to secure Mother's jewels away from potential theft. I did put together some of her costume pieces to keep on the premises and eventually those pieces were pilfered too. There were some really fine caregivers too, but unfortunately it only takes a few "bad apples". Bottom line is just about anything is up for grabs in a nursing home facility. Sad but true. I think there is no excuse for the treatment you had received from the police. But I can understand why under the circumstance you don't care to pursue it.
