No. It is not too late to call the police and file a report. They might do some investigation but it will most likely be limited unlike what you see on television. All you have are suspicions without any basis so you truly have little for the police to go on in their investigation. At the least, with the police report in hand, you can help your mother file an insurance report if the jewelry is insured.
