August 17, 20188 yr Okay, this makes me furious. It’s one thing to rob everyday people (lol), but leave nuns alone!! 125 gold rings, $1,8
August 17, 20188 yr I may have misheard this morning but the story on TV one of the sisters stated you had to have 3 different keys to get to these. If that is the case, something is off with this story.

August 17, 20188 yr May the spirits of these deceased sisters visit the thief or thieves each night before they try to sleep.

The rings were looked in a safe, that was locked in a room, that you had to go through 2 locked doors to get into. No other damage is being reported so it has to be an inside job right?

Yeah, I would never steal from the religious – it couldn’t possibly end well. Off topic, this story especially caught my attention because the Benedictine motto periodically comes to my mind off and on during my life.... thanks to my grade school parish priest who used to work it into his homilies on the regular, lol. Ora et Labora It just sounds so simple, magical and special.... Prayer & Work
August 17, 20188 yr Well only sisters had access to them. The rings were looked in a safe, that was locked in a room, that you had to go through 2 locked doors to get into. No other damage is being reported so it has to be an inside job right? I would think so. Do the sisters use outside help for any maintenance, janitorial, repair, etc.? I don't want to think of a nun doing this.
August 31, 20188 yr Author Update from the Sister’s Facebook page, Aug. 30: We are sorry to report that neither the rings nor the money have been returned. We continue to hold out hope. We have received another anonymous offer raising the amount to $10,000 for the return of the rings. One outcome is that the community now realizes the need for a security system and we are in the process of obtaining one. We have received some donations to help in the purchase and installment of the system. Again we are most grateful for the kindness and outpouring of support from so many.
August 31, 20188 yr Maybe if the jewelry never shows back, some of that $10,000 can be donated toward that security system. And again, I hope the souls of those sisters who passed visit the thief or thieves every night in their sleep.
