Wedding ring missing from Animal Kingdom Lodge Kidani Villa

Disney did conduct an investigation when 2 cast were looked into in rooms that they cleaned that guests reported items missing. Law enforcement then got involved set up future sting operation to catch the 2 cast which they did.

But that just goes to show that they have some system in place for detecting if a pattern is emerging. That makes a lot more sense than conducting any kind of extensive investigation or questioning based on single reports which, again, are likely coming in multiple times a day at every hotel on property.

Right, because they had multiple investigations that placed them at previous thefts. They didn't ask them about the thefts, they just had them clean a room with money in it with cameras.

How do you know cast were not asked on previous incidents after it happened? Where is the proof?

They called it an undercover sting operation. They don't call it that when you have detectives openly asking questions.

JMO there is a big difference between CMs stealing ftom guests, occassionally from the safe, and stuff left behind by a former guest. A guest who checked out is a former guest.

Well Disney doesnt have a policy that says any item left behind in a room by a guest that has checked out can be automatically claimed as the property of a mousekeeper. The rings still are the property of the OP and they ( if discovered by a mousekeeper) should have been taken as lost and found property. Seeing as the former occupant of the room clearly left the rings behind and no other guest had checked in yet, the items were obviously owned by the OP.

I think Disney generally does a very good job of attempting to locate, and return, lost items. Of course human nature is what it is and there's always the possibility that someone steals something. But most of the time, things just get lost and Disney does their best to find them.

Some years back, my son lost his beloved stuffed puppy, which he takes with him everywhere to this day, apparently on a ride at the Magic Kingdom. We assumed it was gone for good. He was devastated. We reported it, but didn't think much would happen. We later were notified that the Disney staff had found it. It had apparently dropped down in an area of the ride track or whatnot and got covered in grease. Not only did Disney find it, but they professionally cleaned it and shipped it back to us.

Disney is not always the bad guy.
