The thief does not leave his identity, but he or she does leave a clue about who they might be. The mystery robber attended a party at the owner's home once. The letter is signed “a dumb kid who wants to right a wrong.”

The Riphagens held the rings dear, as they were all family heirloom. According to HuffPost, one of them belongs to the mother, and was a present from the father for when their first child was born. Another is Mr. Riphagen's wedding ring, while the remaining two belonged to their grandparents.
