    ESH

    Your uncle clearly misappropriated property not belonging to him.

    By accepting it as a gift, you are now an accessory to the fact.

    Old friend of yours is asking you to participate in destruction of property, doesn’t matter how small or valueless it seems it’s not yours to keep discard or destroy… You should be trying to find the rightful owner and returning said item.

    These things while seemingly insignificant hold great value and meaning to their owners. I know this cause I’m a jeweller and I’ve had customers tell me how precious their jewellery can be.

      UPDATE: A man in black arrived at my house after I posted an ad in the paper about finding the lost ring. He wasn’t much for conversation, but he seemed quite pleased to get the ring back.

      I’m curious how you can tell it’s stolen, could it not be some ethical issues with slave mining or political issues with the company executives?
