Heidi Woodard: Man unintentionally sells wife’s $23,000 ring at garage sale

http://blogs.momaha.com/2013/06/41093/

Published Thursday June 13, 2013

If you’re married or in a committed relationship, your partner has likely done things that have either left you speechless or shaking your head in disbelief.

Imagine this: You own a wedding ring worth $23,000.

Ok, I know that’s crazy, but just go with it.

Now imagine you’ve just been discharged from the hospital after giving birth to your fifth child. Oh, and you already have a set of twins.

That's the kind of problem you WANT to have, because it means you can afford a $23K ring.

Sounds like the problems of the 1% or at the least the top 5%.

This guy was a moron. He's lucky he got it back.

The people who bought the watch box's kids (husband and wife) found the ring and since the media got ahold of the story, they were able to return the ring.

Could've been Grandma's ring. Ever watch "Antiques Roadshow"? Some of that old inherited jewelry that people bring in to be appraised is worth at least that, if not many times more.
