A diamond ring worth $9,000 is a lot of ring! Wouldn't that be stored in a safe deposit box? If my wife had a ring like that (fat chance on my pension), I would think about a wall safe or even one of those lockboxes that looks like an ordinary book and you put it in with others on your bookshelf, or some other disguised hiding place.
Bottom line is to make sure the house is locked tight when you leave, hide expensive jewelry in a well disguised hiding place, DO NOT let workers alone in parts of your home (follow them wherever they go) and if they have used the bathroom - check right afterward to see if your prescriptions are still there and they have not unlocked a bathroom or bedroom window for access when you are not home.

My guess is the police are fitting the pieces together. I think the similarities and locations of the events give them plenty to work on.
We have a bank safe deposit box and keep nothing of value in the house.
