[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are weird about things.

I once had a fight with my sister because I found out she had opened a box of things I packed for myself at my late grandmother's house (by request of my uncle who was selling the house).  I stored the box at my mom's house.   My mom forgot it was for me and invited my sister to go through my box and take what she wanted.  I didn't find out until I was at my sister's house and saw some of the things.  I made her give me one of them.

I've never needed any of the stuff.  Or used the hand-painted devilled egg plate I recaptured.  In decades.

Think hard before investing emotional energy in stuff.[/quote]

OP here.
In your case, it was a miscommunication that resulted in misappropriation of gifted items.
I'm talking of blatant theft and misrepresenting the origin of the items. 
Spouse is dealing with a broken safe right now that the parent had discussed with spouse as intact before passing.[/quote]

PP.  I understand my situation's not the same.  I'm just advising you to consider whether her greed to own the prints is really a big deal in context.  Pilfering valuables from a safe is definitely a much bigger deal.[/quote]
