About 15 years ago, when I was still on 2nd shift at Toyota, I found a ring in the Toyota Parking lot on the way in to work one day. It was a nice ring, many small diamonds, 14K gold. But it looked like it had been run over several times and was mashed pretty good. I called Security and informed them that I'd found a ring, and gave them my name and number. I thought if anyone called them they could forward them to me and I'd let them identify it. So, I did try to find the owner.
Today I decided to take it in to see what I could get for it. I took it to Fast-Fix, in the Mall. They told me the diamond chips weren't worth anything to them and that the ring was just worth what the gold itself was worth. So I decided to sell it. They gave me $86 for it. On my way out there I tried to guess what it would be worth and I decided somewhere around $100, so I wasn't that far off. Anyway, it's not bad finding $86 laying in a parking lot.
