Alright, to make a long story short, some of my Mom's jewelery was stolen. It was while I was home. The theif targeted necklaces with small jewels and pearls. The only person who had access was a plumber (who happened to go to High School with me).

So, I need ideas. I told my mom to talk to state and local police from our town and surrounding towns. I also told her to inform the insurance company, and to keep things quiet (so we could set up a 'sting' in the future). What are some other actions that she should take?

Should we keep this quiet so we could set up a camera in the future or should we broadcast this to try to dig up other victims?

I am still in Japan so I have to suffer through the rage I'm feeling right now. I despise people who steal from others.
