JACKASS OF THE DAY: Divya Jefferson – Not all that glitters is Cartier gold

JACKASS OF THE DAY: Divya Jefferson – Not all that glitters is Cartier gold

Honesty is always best!

(CMR) Divya Jefferson earns the accolade today of Jackass of the Day for being dishonest and not giving the correct reward amount for a bracelet she lost.

Cayman Marl Road has assisted countless people with recovering lost or stolen property. One of the fundamental requirements of dealing with CMR is honesty and keeping your word. In the past three years that has included expensive parrots, over $10,000 in cash, vehicles, wallets and even jewelry.

We have never had someone say they were offering a reward and then refuse to keep their word – until now.  On September 4 at 9:02 p.m. Divya Jefferson reached out to us via Facebook begging for our assistance in finding a rose gold bracelet she lost earlier in the afternoon at Camana Bay.

Ironically, we had seen it on other popular social media pages including the Real Women of Cayman. In fact, several persons tagged us in those posts – a true testament to CMR being the place to post anything that you wish to be recovered.

Jefferson shared, “I will provide proof of ownership and a reward to the person who finds it with no questions asked.” This bracelet was so precious to her that she even submitted a police report for the lost item.

She then asked to remain anonymous “as I would prefer not to bring too much attention to myself.” Jefferson provided a photo of the bracelet and indicated that a “$500 award no questions asked for its return” would be offered.

She further shared it had significant sentimental value as it was a present two months ago for her birthday. She confirmed again she would be offering the $500 reward a few messages later.

The post went up and in less than an hour, we received a message from the person who had found the bracelet. We immediately messaged her at 10:25 p.m. to inform her the bracelet had been found. The young man who found the bracelet had taken it a jewelry store because when it was found it was broken.

Jefferson did not read her message until the following morning and was elated at the news replying “No way! Really!?!”. She noted that he was “too excited when I saw the message” and asked for a photo of the item.

We then had a brief phone conversation and in that conversation, she was told where to collect the item. CMR administrator mentioned the reward and shared that in the post the amount had not been listed because sometimes more than one person might contribute to the recovery of an item and the reward might be split.

However, in this case, it was just one person. Since she was keen on not divulging her identity originally we inquired to who she wanted to handle the recovery. We could facilitate it or give her the details to detail with the young man directly. She opted for the second option.

We then informed the young many that she would be in contact with him regarding the reward. We should note that he immediately contacted us within minutes of the post beating made Monday evening and he did not ask about the reward at all. By the following afternoon, no one had messaged him so CMR decided to follow-up.

This is where the story gets interesting and we received the following story ridiculed with inaccuracies and deception at best:

The issues with this are numerous but can be summarized in brief:

  • $500 was not given as the reward but instill USD$100!
  • There is some sort of implication that this man may have stolen the bracelet when she in fact knowns that she lost in. In fact, her husband confirmed with the jewelry she likely hit her hand against the car and that broke the bracelet and it fell off of her hand
  • She felt it necessary to “discussed it with an attorney” to legitimize a $100 reward
  • She implies the repair bill was substantial which someone impacted her ability to give the full reward amount. In fact, the repair was ONLY $25.00
  • It's a Cartier bracelet that the young man could have easily gotten several thousand dollars for. In fact, confirmed he would have gotten more from the local scrap metal shop than what she was offering
  • She says she didn't ask questions about why it was taken to a jeweler – when originally she did say there would be no questions
  • She claimed the bracelet as “badly damaged” and we confirmed with the experienced jeweler of over 30 years that was NOT the case
  • When she was informed we knew the truth in relation to the state of the piece and the repair cost she promptly blocked us

In the Cayman Islands, we have been taught many things. Two that apply here are (1) Honesty is the best policy (2) your word is your bond. Break any of those and you are likely to receive recognition of Jackass of the Day.

To find out more about this situation and this has left this young man feeling tune into this evening's podcast on THE COLD HARD TRUTH!
