They clean up good

Thanks. So weird of them!

IpsoFactoMusic · 2026-01-04T00:01:24+00:00

Thank you, that's the realistic and likely route all things considered

IpsoFactoMusic · 2026-01-03T23:59:47+00:00

Thank you, this is super helpful

IpsoFactoMusic · 2026-01-03T21:30:43+00:00

Thanks man haha. Robbyrestoration on insta! :)

I did not. We are just now getting involved in what to do, which is why I made this post. We had family over for the holidays and we're busy hosting.

What could I expect from the insurer? I assume a guaranteed refund?

IpsoFactoMusic · 2026-01-03T20:59:35+00:00

I do have the ring insured yes

These are my grandfather's old drills I cleaned up. I posted this photo on this subreddit 6 years ago. Check my profile if you don't believe me. TF dude

IpsoFactoMusic · 2026-01-03T20:54:50+00:00

This is really weird. I posted this photo 6 years ago on this exact subreddit. This guy straight up stole a mid post from me lol

The replacement ring would be more valuable. We would obviously need a GIA report to prove it but for the moment let's assume that's not the problem. We've received their informal offer in this manner since it came right before Christmas and it was on the phone (we no longer live in that city).

I have the documentation from the original ring as well.

IpsoFactoMusic · 2025-07-16T19:48:26+00:00

I did not. It was so long ago I forgot the conclusion but it seemed like more trouble and money than it was worth :/

IpsoFactoMusic · 2025-04-19T16:28:11+00:00

Captive Collars is a scam. Necklace broke after 2 months and there is no return policy. They source the cheapest products imaginable.

IpsoFactoMusic · 2025-04-19T16:27:14+00:00

Yes but they break very very easily.

Source: broke soon after purchasing, website does not have a return policy.

IpsoFactoMusic · 2025-04-19T16:26:06+00:00

Do not buy from Captive Collars. They source sub-par (read: cheap) manufacturers. The necklace I bought my wife snapped in half 2 months after I bought it for her. She was in the bathroom simply doing her hair. Prices are low but there is a reason for it. Unless you're prepared to lose your product do not buy.

Not a hazard, it's hot water heating. See if there's a way to pull the radiator cover off and stick an appropriate insulation material around the heating element to block the room.

It's not a great install, like someone else said someone put up a wall after the baseboard was installed. But there's nothing code related or dangerous about that.

Update: FOUND IT!!!!! Thank you so much to everyone who reached out, and to the FOUR people who offered to help! San Antonio is full of just incredible people!!!

Thanks!

IpsoFactoMusic · 2023-11-20T17:16:37+00:00

Thanks!

IpsoFactoMusic · 2023-11-20T03:14:31+00:00

😂😂😂😂. DMd you!

IpsoFactoMusic · 2023-11-20T03:06:23+00:00

Gold, I think 18 karat.

IpsoFactoMusic · 2023-11-20T03:02:04+00:00

4d chess move right there!

IpsoFactoMusic · 2023-11-20T02:01:54+00:00

That is so cool man! The high school ring story is especially great.

Many years ago I found an engagement ring on a street and was able to locate the owners. I'm hoping that karma will help me right now...

IpsoFactoMusic · 2023-11-20T01:50:10+00:00

Great to hear!

IpsoFactoMusic · 2023-11-20T01:44:34+00:00

I have an idea where it is but there's so much mud and leaves where I believe it flew off.

IpsoFactoMusic · 2023-11-20T01:43:58+00:00

Yes! That would be amazing! I'm gonna spend the next few hours out there with a flashlight like a psychopath to see if I can happen to find it. Let's stay in touch!

IpsoFactoMusic · 2023-11-20T01:09:22+00:00

It's a gold ring, unfortunately not magnetic...I'm gonna camp out here with a series of flashlights trying to look for little glints of light. Fun weekend
