Do hairdressers steal jewelry?

If the chain was cut or broken (we don't know which), how does that make her careless. She's careless if she leaves it on the counter or in her car, but not if it breaks and falls off her neck.

LOL, reminds me of a former co-workers DH. The chain had broken on her gorgeous diamond pendant, she asked if he would take it to be repaired. He failed to take the pendant off before he left home, placed it on the dash of the car and when he braked, it slid into the vent by the windshield. Had to have half of the car (OK, not quite) disassembled to "rescue" it! He still takes crap for it!

Why is every little thing called out as crazy, unhinged, you need therapy or unstable on DCUM? Seriously.

Her necklace was lost/stolen and her insurance agent told her this happens a lot, so I see why she would believe it to be true.

But no, lets tell OP to put her MIL in a home.

Weird that she even put this through insurance, I would just eat the cost.
MIL lost it, she is old, she then blames the hair dresser.

OP here. I don't think anyone can deny the facts. She was wearing the necklace when she went to the salon. When she came home, she still had the broken (or cut) chain on her neck but the diamond pendant was gone. I don't see anything wrong with letting the insurance pay for it since she was smart enough to have it covered. Also, she is an active (still working) 70-something and I don't see any signs of dementia. She is not crazy.

I can see it either way - the chain broke and she blamed the hairdresser, or the hairdresser likes to cut chains hoping they fall to the floor to be picked up and cashed in. I really just wanted to see if anyone had heard of such a thing.

She SAID she was still wearing it when she went into the salon.

That doesn't make it a fact.
