Normally today we would be putting out another cracking DWSC episode; unfortunately this week we will not be releasing an episode.
This is because our dear producer Amanda came home this weekend to discover her flat had been burgled (I know, life imitating art, right?) Along with the devastation and sense of violation that brings, the intruder stole her laptop and all of her's jewellery, including this peacock brooch (pictured).
It is a precious family heirloom, which Amanda's Great Grandfather had made for his wife, out of gems which a wartime evacuee they were housing gave as a thank-you gift to them (the evacuee's family owned a jewellery business).
We are posting it here as a long-shot that anyone might spot this piece out in the world - on eBay, in a pawn shop in London, on Facebook marketplace - wherever. It is truly one of a kind and irreplaceable and would mean the world to our Amanda if it was some how, some way, returned to her.
The good news is that we're a tight-knit female workplace and we will help Amanda regroup and will be back in action by next week!
Lotsa love,
DWSC

0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. You're probably wondering why you're listening to this message instead of a drunk women's solving crime episode. |
0:06.0 | We were planning on releasing today's episode as usual, but sometimes life imitates are in the worst possible way. |
0:14.0 | Basically, our lovely producer Amanda was unfortunately a victim of burglary this past weekend. |
0:21.0 | She returned home to find someone had falsely broken into her flat, |
0:25.0 | taken her laptop and sadly all of her jewelry, including a precious family heirloom. |
0:31.0 | And although we know it's a total long shot, we're going to try and do what we always do and solve some crime. |
0:38.0 | So Amanda's great-grandmother had passed down one of a kind peacock brooch, which her husband had custard made for her. |
0:48.0 | Had custard custard made. Yeah, it's really sweet. It's delicious. |

0:57.0 | So not only was this piece completely unique, but it has really special sentimental value. |
1:04.0 | It had been made with gems, which basically Amanda's great grandparents. |
1:09.0 | They were housing an evacuee from the war. And as a thank you gift, this evacuee gave them a bag of gems |
1:17.0 | because his family came from a jewelry business. They were jewelers. |
1:23.0 | So this was their thank you gift. And her great-grandfather had this brooch made for her great-grandmother. |

1:38.0 | which you've put on our social media. So it even wound up as an article in a national newspaper here in the UK, |
1:44.0 | which is quite impressive, which we'll go unnamed because it's not a very impressive one. |
1:51.0 | We will not give them any free advertising one here, but just in case by some miracle, |
1:57.0 | you ever see it for sale online in a pawn shop on eBay, anything like that. |
2:02.0 | The more people that see this piece, the more likely it that we have of, you know, getting it back. |
