Hard to supervise multiple strangers at once.

An engagement ring valued at $26,000 was stolen after a couple allowed four different contractors to do work at their home on the same day, Fox 2 News reports. The article says that an electrician, an exterminator and two people delivering TVs were at the home, and they were left under the sole supervision of the husband when the wife left the house to run errands. The police, however, were able to identify the ring thief and have since charged him. “It would probably be wise not to schedule multiple contractors on a single day because obviously it’s going to be difficult to keep track of all their activities,” Ballwin Police Lt. Horne told the news station.

She Wanted to Spend More Time with Her Kids. She Called Wilkerson.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
