Answer 1

You should have paid by credit card. Usually in these cases you are potected and would be able to initiate a dispute.

Good luck.

Answer 2

sue him.

Answer 3

Call the cops........ If you can prove it

Answer 4

you should have got everything done in black & white to avoid problems in future. since you don't have any written proofs i don't think you can do anything except to CURSE him...

best of luck!

Answer 5

give it to any stranger

Answer 6

first report your suspicions to the police, theft is a crime, no matter who does it. If the police then ask you if you wish to prefer charges, do so. Also take him or her to court.

Answer 7

I would report it as stolen property to your local police department.

Answer 8

Take Legal Action..

Answer 9

Due to the lack of a receipt there is no legal course of action you could follow. Your only real option is to have a quiet aside with the jeweler, make sure no one else can hear your conversation. Confront him, ask him what happened, try your darndest to find out where the money is, don't take no or "come back later" type answers under any circumstance. Once that fails inform him that $7k is a lot of money, in many cities you can find multiple people that would hold a scrawny jeweler down and pull out their teeth and fingernails with pliers for $300. All I can say is, let him know that if you don't get that $7k, you are taking it out of his *ss. Let him know you will be willing to lose more money to make sure he never gets the chance to s***w over anyone else.
