An anonymous gift-giver left a $15,000 diamond engagement ring to the owner of an unlocked car in western Massachusetts with a typed note hinting at a broken heart.

"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," the note said.



So, if you got paid for leaving your car door unlocked, would you do it again?

I used to leave my old car unlocked. I figured there was nothing in the car worth the value of a broken window. Come to think of it, that included the value of the car itself which is something of a paradox.

Anyway, I don't plan to leave my car unlocked from now on hoping for random acts of lapidary kindness.

No. While it would be cool to get a 15k ring, the guy probably rubbed his balls all over the stearing wheel or something.

Call me jaded.

I'd let him rub his balls all over me for 15k.

Is that wrong?

One day my mother-in-law left a cake in someone's truck by accident. She meant to be leaving it in her sister's truck but there was another truck in the parking lot just like it.

Sounds like a decent surprise to find in your vehicle but hot summers and the greenhouse effect couldn't have been good for it.

Nah. I'd count myself lucky and probably sell the ring, use some $ myself, and the rest to help someone else out.

That's just so... depressing. 15K must have been a 2 carat stone. Think she died or left him?

No, but it's not really something you should share. Call it a lottery windfall for godssake.

btw, that's a Joph quote that just soared to the top of the list...

If he still had the ring, something tells me she just said no and left him.

Probably just as well he got dumped. Imagine a year or so down the road:

She: "Did you remember to pick up milk on the way home?"
He: "Yeah, but I was feeling a little blue so I broke into someone's house and left it in their kitchen."
She: "..."
She: "Please tell me you didn't give the baby away to a childless couple again."

That reminds me of a fun teenage prank...

Find an ulocked car and coax a small bear into the backseat with some food. Close it in, with the windows left open just a bit.

Now the unsuspecting owner of the car comes to their car and finds either a) A bear in their backseat b) A really pissed off momma bear on their car.

Fun times can also be had replacing said bear with racoons, mice, snakes and other woodland creatures.

So in the big city could you substitute the woodland creature with a homeless person or a crack *****?Smiley: grin

Uh-oh, someone's slipped over the EQ-reality line again. You are NOT a druid.

Where the hell did you grow up that there were baby bears on every corner, waiting to be plucked from their mothers for a lighthearted teenage prank??

What? You never came across a cute cuddly bear pup? My wife's little brother actually was petting one thinking it was a big doggy... Black bear's aren't as mean as everyone thinks.
