What would u do if you found a 96k diamond ring? sold it? returned it? Good to see honest and good people out there still, though not sure if I would have taken the same route depends lol kind of unsure....A Virginia college student reaped a $10,000 reward Thursday when he returned a 15-carat diamond ring he found in a parking lot to its rightful owner.
Jeremy McIntosh told The Virginian-Pilot he found the ring in the middle of September outside a dry cleaner where he works to put himself through Norfolk State University.
"At first when I saw it, it was unbelievable," McIntosh said. "I thought it was a fake."
But he realized quickly the ring was valuable. He learned Thursday morning from a story in the newspaper that the ring, valued at $96,000, belonged to James Ramsey of Norfolk.
Ramsey had been searching for the ring for weeks. He now thinks it dropped out of a pocket when his fiancee took his clothes to the cleaners.
The exchange took place at the Zoots Dry Cleaners in Chesapeake, where McIntosh is the manager. He hurried to the bank with an envelope full of $100 bills.
McIntosh has big plans for the money, paying off credit cards and the loan
on his used Nissan Maxima.

"And then maybe I'll get a new pair of shoes or take some friends out to dinner," he said
Returned it most likely, I don't think I would manage to find a buyer for even half it's worth and somebody who could afford a ring like that would most likely reward you.
I would return it as if i was the owner i would be shitting myself if i lost that, it would also be pretty easy to identify and i lack the contacts needed in order to sell it.
Yeah i'd return it, if i was the owner i'd be pulling my hair out looking for it
Returned it, although, does remind me of what happened last year when I went to the bank machine (atm).
Some fool had left £60 sitting in the jaws of the machine, so I thought 'bad luck', and took it.

I would have returned it. Again, someone who can buy a ring like that is gonna reward whoever returns it. Besides, the karma is always good.

Return it. Why not make the owner happy and relieved instead of being a greedy sonuvabitch.

I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.
I like to sleep at night and come by my $$ the honest way.

i 'd return it. i would like to see a picture of it, i bet it's gaudy as fuck . . .
Seriously how lucky is that guy that this kid just happened to have been reading the newspaper and saw it, and then had the heart to give it back. All a string of events that are so unlikely, the most being the fact that the kid read about it it in a newspaper. Not the fact that he returned it. That's what I'm amazed about.
