Losers, weepers

We are the finders, but I’m trying to figure out how to not be a keeper.

Neil found what looks very much like an engagement ring on the sidewalk Monday afternoon.

I know if I ever lost something that important to me, I’d really want someone to try to get it back to its rightful owner.

So I’ve put an ad up on craigslist, and today a sign will go up near where it was lost (Downtown Vancouver, near the Paramount Movie Theater, for the locals), but other than that I’m a bit lost for what exactly to do to try and return found property to the person who lost it.

Any of you have any suggestions?

    Well, that is very nice. If you have no takers, I could use it! :P

    it’s also a good idea to call the local police station and see if anyone reported losing one . . .

    Lynn said the same thing I was going to. Good karma to you for trying to find the rightful owner. :)

    Call the lost and found at the movie theatre? You might want to take it to a jeweler to make sure you’re not fretting over a piece of costume jewelery.

    Thanks for the suggestions all. I did check with a jeweler, and the metals/stones are far above costume grade.

    Hopefully the owner finds me (and it) eventually!
