So I went over to my G.ma's to clean the basement for her since my brother left it a mess when he moved out a few weeks ago, whatever.

I found a rectangular silver coin thing in his stuff. It had an inscription that said something along the lines of "happy retirement, love," and a bunch of names. Below that it said ".999 sterling silver, 10 troy ounces".

I should have been able to put it together in a second, but I took it too my G.ma instead. My G.pa was the manager of some bank in town for a number of years and it was a gift from his retirement, obviously.

So now I made my G.ma sad by showing her my brother is a thief and I cheated myself out of what the internet is telling me would be worth about $160. Now it's just going to sit in a box somewhere collecting dust.

Moral of the story: Think before you act.

sterling silver is .925 silver so wouldnt .999 sterling be .925 silver? so not pure silver?

So your brother was going to steal it and you're upset you didn't think to steal it?

I feel bad for grandma.

That seems to be the gist of the "Grandma: a family punching bag" story.

No idea. Before today I'd never even heard of a Troy ounce, but I'm pretty sure it said .999

She didn't even notice it was gone until I brought it to her, so no real harm was done. Plus my G.pa is dead so he ain't using it. I would have put it's value to much better use and if anyone ever did notice it was gone, I would have been shielded from their illogical emotional outbursts since no one would have ever suspected me.

Literally turned it over before the thought of taking it ever crossed my mind. Don't become a lawyer.

Is this going to be one of those times when you pretend not to have a plan until the last moment? And then turn out to really not have one?

I think you will eventually end up in prison.
