She picked out what she wanted. I gave her a price and she began to try and haggle the price. I went inside twice to get a magnifying glass and a bag for the jewelry. She then asked me if I had an umbrella. I went to the shed to get one. When I went to put my keys inside, she saw inside and saw that I had a curio cabinet. I left the room to get a container for her other jewelry. She then asked for another bag. I went to get it and came back. She then asked if she could try on a necklace that I refused to sell her earlier, which I thought was odd because I had already told her I was not going to sell her for the price she wanted. As soon as she left, I noticed that some of my tea set, that she had looked at, was missing. I then started to notice other items were missing, including the necklace I refused to sell to her. When I went to get the money she had given me to pay for the items and put it in my purse, I realized that she had stolen $300 cash out of my purse. I had just counted the cash before she had arrived because I was planning to go to the bank today. It disturbs me that she is listed as license, bonded, and insured.
Description of Work: Laura came out this morning to buy some jewelry from me. I had sold to her previously in 2009. I had it set up outside because I have cats and I know some people have allergies.

She was supposed to price everything. She would receive 40% and I would receive 60%. The first day she would bring in my family and friends. The second day she would bring in dealers. The third day she would open it up to the public and advertise it as an estate sale. This did not happen. She stole from me. I caught her trying to carry out jewelry. That was the last day she would come back. I told her that she had my items and I needed it back. She said some items still haven't sold. My friend finally went and got some of the items back. Not even a 1/5 of the items she had were returned to me. I asked her to come back and help me with my house because it was a mess. She said she wouldn't be coming back.
Description of Work: Laura was supposed to help me auction some items in my home.
