MILFORD, Conn. -- Is the wedding still on?

That's one of the unanswered questions in the case of a man who police say staged a break-in at his own home so he could sell his fiancee's engagement ring.

George Rich, 43, was charged Tuesday with falsely reporting an incident and providing a false statement. He was released on a written promise to appear in Superior Court on Dec. 7.

Police said Rich made the couple's home look like a burglar had broken in and stolen jewelry, including the gold engagement ring with diamonds. Court documents show Rich pawned the items for $5,000 at the Hock It To Me shop.

On Sept. 21, Rich called police to report that burglars ransacked his home and stole a gold cocktail ring and the engagement ring, both valued at $2,500. He also said a gold chain was missing.

2. My ex didn't have that much finesse

He took my diamond and emerald ring and the matching earrings out of my jewellry box and hocked them for drug money. When I eventually looked for them and found them gone, I went into a cold panic, thinking I had lost them and that he would kill me. My suspicions were aroused when he simply shrugged and said, "Oh, bummer" or something when I told him. His friend eventually confessed that he knew about it - he couldn't stand to see me so upset and thinking it was my fault.

Bastard has still never admitted to it and that was at least ten years ago.
