For some reason, a story that happened to my mother when I was younger popped into my head this afternoon.
When I was around 10, she was grocery shopping and lost the diamond out of her wedding ring. She was very distraught, and we all knew that it would probably never be seen again. My uncle happened to work at that very grocery store at the time. He helped look for it in the store for a long time to no avail. When he went home that night, he took off his boot and the diamond was stuck in the tread.
Anyone else have personal stories about amazing stuff like this?

ok - this is not nearly as dramatic but. . . when i was in high school i was on the debate team and one summer went to a debate camp at the university of kansas. well, i only had one tie (borrowed from my father) and after a long day of debate rounds i had taken the tie off and hung it over my briefcase only to find that upon returning to my dorm room the tie was gone. . . i was a bit worried that my dad was going to beat my ass but soon forgot about it and later that night ended up wandering the KU campus drinking beer and lo and behold hanging in a tree on the otherside of campus i find my tie. . . the wind must have blown it into this tree. i quickly retrieved my tie and dad was none the wiser!
