A lock is better than suspicion

I still don't know what happened to my ring. I don't know if I can trust her. Because it was my own home, I didn't think there was anything wrong with taking my ring off. I've now learned that a lock is better than suspicion. I might as well make it harder for thieves to discourage them from their ways. It'll also make detecting the thief easier. In my case, I still don't know if a thief is involved or not, but that's not the point. I want to take precautionary measures in the future. I'm not writing anything I didn't already know, but we all let our guard down. I made that mistake, and I have to live with the consequence.
