Anyone had maid who lost gold jewellery from her room? She thinks that workmen who was in the house have stolen it but we have no proof. She was crying her eyes out so feel very sorry for her. Should I make a police report, and possible to claim under maid insurance for stolen maid's belonging?

Perhaps this is a new sob story. I thought they are not allowed to bring jewellery with them when they come here to work.

I would make a police report and tell her that's all I can do to help.

I offered to take her to police station to make a report, but explaining that without proof very unlikely anything will come out of it. She decided not to make report and said she just has to accept the loss.

Honestly, it's an extremely impressive situation. I think I would be doubtful, but in the end, I would go to the police anyway. I know why I am saying this. There was one very illustrative example once in my life. I went to the pawnshop to get $100 for my old spinning. I don't know what happened with the worker, but he gave me a thousand dollars. After a few seconds of hesitation, I told them 'Oh, you gave me a little bit more money than I need...'. He smiles at me every time we meet. He was the first man to show me the source with the best engagement rings I have ever seen. I already know what source I will use before my marriage!

If she doesn't want to go to the police then it's her decision to make at least you have offered your help
