My buddy who got married earlier this summer lost his wedding ring on his wedding night. As seems to happen a lot when large groups of wrestlers and alcohol get together, he started wrestling another guy on the dock. Midway through the match he looked down and noticed his ring was gone.
Luckily the bride knew what she was getting into when she married him and took it well.
“How do you know it wasn’t appraised?”
I don’t. But who owns the ring once it goes to her son? Does mom even have a legitimate insurable interest in the ring at that point? Pretend auto insurance wasn’t mandatory. It would be like taking out an insurance policy on my car just before giving it to my son. I think much of what I find suspicious is her not telling the son about this new insurance.
If the issue was mom worried that son wouldn’t or couldn’t buy insurance, then it seems this would be better addressed upfront by saying “I’m happy to give you the ring, but would feel better if it were insured. I know insurance is expensive, so I’ll buy the policy. That way I’ll feel better and you will too if it ever gets lost.”
What a great idea to do that with a $9k family heirloom. Moron.
You’re buddies with Tickle-Me-Massa?
No....
Lots of guys who wrestled for most of their lives. Once drinking starts who will win best two out of three takedowns requires a match.
Exactly my thought when I read the story. Run, Stacy, run.
Well if she insured it before giving it to him then it was technically still hers. I think there is a possibility this is an insurance scam as well. It could also be a legitmate claim that just LOOKS suspicious to us. I was just teasing about all the cynics.
Anyone who spends $9000 on a pretty rock deserves to lose it.
About 3 months ago I was called for jury duty. The case was a woman suing the insurance company. It seems she had “accidentally” flushed thousands of dollars worth of jewelry down the toilet and the company declined to pay.
In voir dire, her attorney wanted to know if I would be prejudiced by the fact that her fiance had previously been convicted of insurance fraud. I assured the attorney that I would be completely impartial.
And I would indeed have been impartial. But I wasn’t gonna be fooled either. I think the attorney picked up on that and I was thanked and sent home.
If this is true...it sounds like a Robbins Brothers ad gone horribly, horribly wrong.
I saw this little gem and thought you might like it. LOL!
