Finders Keepers?
A 6-year-old girl saved the day without even knowing it. The Arkansas girl found what she thought was a fake diamond ring in a Wal-Mart parking lot.
The ring was actually a newlyweds missing $9,000 engagement ring! According to MSNBC, Haley Reep Wagnon lost her 1.26-carat diamond ring at a Bryant Wal-Mart on July 8. She reported it missing, and Bryant police reviewed Wal-Mart's surveillance videos and saw that a child picked up the ring.
"I saw a little girl pick up the ring in the parking lot, but I don't think the girl was trying to steal the ring and I don't think the family with her was even aware," Bryant police Detective Todd Crowson said. "She probably didn't even know that it is a real ring."
The little girl handed the ring over to her 12-year-old cousin when police called the family to find out about the whereabouts of the ring.
"I couldn't believe it, especially when I saw the size of the diamond," Michael Wheaton, uncle of the little girl said. "It had been in my truck for three days. If Detective (Crowson) wouldn't have called me, who knows what would have happened to it. It could have ended up in my daughter's dresser or something."
