A man is conflicted after his stepson took a valuable jewelry set that belonged to his daughter, which she inherited from her mother. The man had kept it locked away in his closet, with plans to give it to his daughter on her wedding day. When the stepson’s fiancee expressed interest in wearing it to a wedding, he asked to borrow it and was denied. However, the man later discovered that the jewelry set was missing, and after confronting his stepson, he admitted to borrowing it without permission. Despite multiple chances to return it, the stepson did not, prompting the man to press charges. Now, the man’s family is berating him for his actions. Was he in the wrong ? You decide.
