MYSTERY PHOTO: A real mystery

We’ll try something different this week: a real mystery.

If you don’t know, make it up! (NOTE: We don’t know the answer and we’re looking for help in learning the truth about the jewelry theft. If you make up your answer, please let us know that it’s fiction. Have fun.) Send your best guess to editor@charlestoncurrents.com.
