[quote=Anonymous]Some possibilities:

Go with your DH and do a thorough search of your FIL's house (with his permission, of course).  Who knows - maybe you'll find some of the missing jewelry in a random box in the attic or the basement or your FIL's bedroom closet.

Send her the photographs of the missing jewelry and tell her to cough it all up.

Go personally to her home and ask her to produce all her jewelry boxes so you two can work on separating out your MIL's pieces based on the photographs.

Maybe scare her by telling her you are going to the police to file a grand larceny report.  I would guess that taking jewelry from an old man without his consent is grand theft or larceny.  You have the photographs of the missing jewelry, and she grabbed it in front of your elderly FIL!  If the statute of limitations has not run out, file a police report.  That's harsh, of course, but the cops have the tools for investigating this.  Also, does she deserve any mercy in this scenario?  Of course she's saying she didn't take it all, but the cops know all the games thieves play.

Instead of going to the police, hire a criminal lawyer to send her a stern letter demanding the return of the jewelry without any further game playing, with consequences if it is not returned in its entirety.

Don't give up on the jewelry until you've given some thought on how to get her to return it/reimburse you for sold pieces/at the very least apologize for her actions.
