By the time she noticed, the maid had already pawned it all for $425.

You probably didn’t need another reason to allow a stranger to walk around unsupervised in your home, but here’s one for good measure. According to Lehigh Valley Live, Tabitha Marsh was sent to prison after she admitted to stealing $19,200 in jewelry from a client’s bedroom while cleaning her house. The report says that Marsh turned around and pawned the whole lot for $425 on Dec. 7 before the client, 10 days later, reported the missing goods, including a gold diamond engagement ring valued at $10,000. The report doesn’t say if the jewelry was recovered.

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
