So sorry, Lupinate. I thank God that you, your friend and the tiny toddler are all okay. Actually, I hope you and your friend keep an eye on the wee one as she may have been traumatized more than you realize.

As you said, things are just things. Perhaps the police will be able to get some or all of them back for you. Can you check with pawn shops and places like that for the ring and jewelry? Sounds like you've made a good security plan for the future. I've said a prayer for you.

Bottom line, you know what's truly valuable, so you are a wealthy man.
