Sorry OP, but ydi. When you do something like this, you should call ahead and speak with the owner so they know what is going to happen and they know who is serving you. At least you can ask who was serving you, the restaurant will have their info and you can call the cops from there. With out any evidence good luck. I hope they have camera recordings of the transaction.

Idiot, shouldn't have left it someone else

Ohhhh...poor thing! You'll find someone else who is way better.

Oh damn, sorry bro

You should always talk to the manager/owner about this kind of thing.

Never, ever, ever do this. Even if they have security cameras, there's a chance the police will consider it a civil issue since you handed the necklace over. My friend decided to propose to his girlfriend a few years ago. He arranged with a restaurant to have the ring brought out on her dessert plate, and turned it over to them. When their desserts came...no ring. Suddenly, there was a squeal from across the room. The ring went to the WRONG table, where another couple happened to be sitting. When my friend and a server approached the table with the ring, they refused to give it back. The police said that since they didn't steal the ring, it was a civil matter. My friend sued them in small claims court for the return of the ring, and the server showed up as a witness on the agreement that my friend didn't sue the restaurant. By the time the court date came the couple who had ended up with the ring had split up and the man had sold it. My friend won his case, but the jurisdictional maximum (which he got) was $5,000. He'd paid more than $20,000.00 for the ring. Always make sure that jewelry and other high-value items go directly from your hands to the recipient's!

Well Ya know who stole it.

In movies, it'd always turns up well. Fyl. Did you tell her abt the missing necklace? Poor soul

Your server killed the goose that laid the golden egg.

It could have been the engagement ring .. jussayin'!
