Good Call!!! Wife couldn't be happier! Pic's added

[sleepless_red]

Last Sunday, we were cleaning the house then took the trash down the driveway for collection on Monday morning. Come Monday morning, my wife couldn't find her 10th year anniversary ring that I bought her a couple of months ago. We looked everywhere the last couple of minutes before heading for work. NO LUCK.

We left for work. 5 minutes after I got to work, she called. She said, "Maybe it fell in the trash can next to my table." After that phone call, I asked my supervisor if I can go home and come back. No problem there. As soon as I clocked out, I ran to the car and took off praying that they haven't picked up the trash yet. This is just after 8:00am. I got home and the trash can's still there. "Thank God" I said. Put the trash can back to the garage and went back to work.

When I got home, my wife's in the garage digging in the trash and sure enough, it was there.

She couldn't thank me enough for rushing home to put the trash can back inside.
Anyway, I just wanted to share.

Glad it worked out.

Nice save is right.

For sure you would both have been at the dump looking for it !

+1 You may want to make a permanent note somewhere so the next time you find your butt in a crack over something you can remind her of the time you risked your job, life and limb to rush home to save her ring from the trash!

Just saying you know.....

It sure was a close call. The worst part was it's raining that morning so people were driving really slow. I was in the car going nuts but there's nothing I can do. It's one lane both ways for about 6 miles and the whole way has solid double yellow lines.

Thanks, Brian. I've seen it happen to us a couple of times. I can still remember all of them.

nice save, way to get double kudos out of one ring!

 

[sleepless_red]

Here's the ring. Sorry, I haven't had a chance to take a pic of it until this afternoon.

I know it's not too late to post it for those that have already read the thread. Better late than never.

You're on lucky dawg, great save!
My luck I would have gotten chewed for not putting the trash out the night before. Then when the wifey calls thinking it might be in the trash and I do all the things you did to rescue it, I'd pull up to a empty can and no truck in sight. Followed that afternoon by

Good save!! I have stopped getting expensive rings. So far I am on my third wedding band. Never found the first two.

 

[georgiabusa_05]

I have had to dig through the trash for my daughters retainer more than once.
