Unlocked Car Brings Man Ring

Instead of finding something missing from his unlocked car, a Massachusetts man found a $15,000 ring. An anonymous person left a diamond engagement ring in an unlocked car with a type note speaking of their broken heart.

The note read: "Merry Christmas. Thank you for leaving your car door unlocked. Instead of stealing your car I gave you a present. Hopefully this will land in the hands of someone you love, for my love is gone now. Merry Christmas to you.?

Four days after the three diamond ring with a white-gold band appeared in the man?s car, he reported it to the local police. The man decided to keep the ring after learning it was worth about $15,000.?This appears to be random," Westborough Police Lt. Paul Donnelly said. "I think there was a search for a car that was unlocked."
