It's almost all jewelry... no one should ever give me jewelry!</p> <p>- A ruby ring my stepdad got me for Valentine's Day in middle school. No idea what I did with it - it just disappeared.<br /> - I didn't lose this, but I let a sketchy friend of mine in high school play in my mom's jewelry box, and she stole a very expensive and sentimental diamond necklace. :( My mom never said anything to me about it at the time but when I found out I felt HORRIBLE.<br /> - I left DH's iPod in the library in college and it was stolen.<br /> - I left the first piece of jewelry DH gave me, a Tiffany necklace, in the pocket of my robe when I got a massage on our honeymoon, and it was never found.<br /> - I brought DH his cufflinks from our wedding, that were a gift from his mom, on a trip in my bag and one of them disappeared. That one I feel the worst about, because I was an adult, they were sentimental, and they didn't belong to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost/page/2#post-443076 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 13:09:20 +0000 Alivoo01 443076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've lost one of my diamond earrings my mom gave me in the lush carpet at my in laws home.

My camera means so much to me.</p> <p>I lost a check for $700 but I called the person and they reissued it so it was nbd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442958 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 12:23:18 +0000 sunny 442958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MungBean: did you pay by credit card? Many CCs have accidental damage or loss within 90 days as a benefit!! You should look into whether or not they will reimburse you.</p> <p>I lost a camera while skiing... I went up and down the same slope for hours and never found it :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442957 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 12:22:35 +0000 lovehoneybee 442957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wasn't super pricey, but a diamond necklace my "aunt" (stepmom's BFF) left me when she passed away. I'd been throwing up and taken it off in DH's (then BF's) room. (I couldn't stand how tight it felt right then), passed out and forgot to put it back on. Then couldn't find it anywhere. Tore his room apart looking for it. He felt so bad about it he went and bought me a new necklace (that I wear to this day).</p> <p>Well a year or two later he puts on his winter coat and finds the necklace in his pocket. Turns out he'd found it soon after I lost it and put it in his pocket on his way out the door (with the intention of giving it to me at work) and completely forgot about it. By then I'd given up looking for it so I didn't mention anything that would spark his memory. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442934 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 12:10:01 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 442934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>IPod and blackberry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442928 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 12:08:00 +0000 mrs. bird 442928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i took my rings off to shower one day &amp; when i got out my cat had knocked them on the floor &amp; was batting them around. found my wedding band but haven't found my engagement ring yet =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442921 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 12:03:50 +0000 JessicaMcB 442921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was sixteen I left my $100 cellphone on the train on my way to work- I'm pretty careful about making sure I have everything now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442918 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 12:02:21 +0000 keiki_mama 442918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost a pair of Dolce &amp; Gabana glasses but I feel so bad for some of the things you ladies have lost! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442891 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 11:44:06 +0000 Foodnerd81 442891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessLC: Dh lost his wedding ring about 4 months after we got married. It fell off in a wave pool kind of thing. Amazingly, after he called the place a few times a week for a couple of weeks, they found it in the filter and he had it shipped back. It is slightly dinged up but we got it back-- I never expected to. Good thing we went with platinum, I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442864 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 11:30:40 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 442864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A necklace my best friends' mom gave me for Christmas one year. It was a cross and all diamonds - from Helzberg diamonds. I don't know how much it cost but I felt horrible. I still feel bad, and I loved that necklace! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442838 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 11:19:36 +0000 SleepyMonkey 442838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i haven't lost anything terribly expensive, but i did flush an earring that my mom gave me down the toilet by accident. it had sentimental value. DH lost his wedding ring about a month ago...in our apartment...it cost $1300 and we've searched high and low for it. he bought a replacement ring off of amazon.com for $15. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442811 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 11:08:08 +0000 BelugaBean 442811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH bought me a nice watch for Christmas one year. I was in the elevator leaving class one day and noticed I didn't have it on. I looked everywhere. I went back to the classroom, looked all over the building and outside. I was hoping I had forgotten to wear it but it was gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442806 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 11:06:01 +0000 .twist. 442806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I left my fav pair of ray ban sunglasses at my parents house, one morning my mom dropped them off at my house (I lived in a 4 plex downtown), she left them on my door handle thinking I'd see them when I got home from work. Well, they were not there when I got home from work. Either someone in my 4plex stole them, or someone cutting through our yard to the bus stop stole them. </p> <p>So... I guess that was my moms fault. LOL. They retailed about $200.00 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442793 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 11:00:13 +0000 sea_bass 442793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My youthful good looks!!!

I had a pair of purple Ray Ban aviators that have the smaller frame and lenses, which were the perfect sunglasses because I have a tiny peanut head and sunglasses always look oversized and alien-ish on me. I never pay for expensive sunglasses, but I splurged on these and had them for several years. On out Puerto Rico vacation they disappeared, and I'm still mourning the loss. :(</p> <p>However, I would be way more upset over losing my DSLR, my engagement/wedding ring, or a couple other pieces of jewelry.</p> <p>@thismustbetheplace: Ahhh! I can't imagine the guilt! Hopefully, they've gotten over it by now! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442716 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 10:27:08 +0000 mlm2934 442716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: glad I'm not the only one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442707 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 10:25:53 +0000 mlm2934 442707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost my wedding ring and band about a year after we got married...

That's terrible, but like you said, you were in 3rd grade. I think it's sort of funny that you let the guilt build up for 6 months though! </p> <p>I have been pretty lucky and haven't lost anything too expensive or sentimental (that I can remember, at least). I left my Ipod nano on a plane-- I was bummed about the actual Ipod, but even more upset because it was the first "big" gift that DH ever gave me. And I had a camera stolen during a party in college, but it was pretty old then and not expensive anyway, it was more annoying that I didn't have the pictures on it. I don't even think it was digital!</p> <p>ETA: I've temporarily lost sentimental things, like putting a favorite necklace or earrings in a jewelry bag and then forgetting where it is, but have eventually found the important things. Once it was over a year later but my fave necklace came back to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442672 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 10:06:32 +0000 bpcmarj 442672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea where my ipod is, at all. I also lost 2 rings my dad has given me. One opal one for my 5th birthday, and then the cape cod ring he have me for my HS graduation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442657 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 09:51:34 +0000 mediagirl 442657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thismustbetheplace: wow. I can't even imagine!!<br /> @cyndistar3: oh no. :(</p> <p>1. A diamond earring. I actually found out where he bought them and bought a single one (yes, they sold me a single diamond earring) and he has no idea to this day. Oh yeah, and after I bought it, I found the lost one. :/</p> <p>2. I left my favorite p&amp;s camera in a cab in NYC one time. I called the cab company and everything but it was gone. </p> <p>3. I lost a pearl necklace my Mom gave me for my graduation. I think I left it at a hotel on one of my work trips. SO devastated over that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442652 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 09:48:25 +0000 chopsuey 442652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily I've never lost anything of great value! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442650 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 09:47:22 +0000 MediaNaranja 442650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thismustbetheplace: oh no, how horrible!! </p> <p>The most expensive things I've lost was a camera/ipod when I was on a trip and the hostel burned down. I didn't care so much about the stuff per-se, but but was a pain in the butt getting my documents replaced (passport, bank card, etc) while abroad. I also didn't have any $$ to get home, which was a 24-hr bus ride away, ha. I also had no pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442648 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 09:47:12 +0000 mrbee 442648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I lost your iPhone in a cab :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442640 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 09:43:52 +0000 Mrs. Bee 442640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: oh no that's horrible! :(</p> <p>@thismustbetheplace: wow i can't imagine how mad your parents must have been! but you were just a little kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-lost#post-442631 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 09:38:33 +0000 prettylizy 442631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've lost more cell phones than I care to admit. </p>
