This Story Has A Familiar Ring
After four suspects in an Ohio jewellery store robbery were arrested, police surmised one of the men may have swallowed a missing two-carat diamond ring worth $30,000. The theory soon proved correct, officers said. Sanitary workers were called to the county jail and extricated the ring out of the toilet. The ring, in an 18-karat white gold setting, still had its price tag, according to police. The county sheriff's office photographed the ring and tagged it as evidence. Suffice to say it was properly cleaned and sanitised.

hello david
sounds familiar.quite often, one reads how precious diamonds are hidden in body parts and smuggled.man can go to any length when he is driven by greed and daredevilness.
best regards.
This is almost as bad as my "Mice stealing the dentures story" Wow life, huh? Mine seems a tad boring.

Eeeeww
Happy anniversary honey!...you want to know why its soaking in dettol?
How hilarious! This reminds my of my evil mother-in-law, she loves animals and kept lots of dogs, ducks, goats, etc etc. Once, one of the goats (as you might know, they eat anything and everything) managed to get into the house and took a fancy to eating everything on her dressing-table. Upon finding the mess and pushing the goat back out to the garden, she then realised what was missing (a very valuable diamind ring). She spent the next 2 days following the goat around the garden with a bowl and a fork, waiting for the inevitable (!) Needless to say it was a very smelly, messy but necessary job! (Couldn't have happened to a nicer person (!!))
Hi Gopal,
Always nice to hear from you. Yes, I've been following some of those stories - and your comment is absolutely spot-on.

You're right Deb,
From memory, your site featured the mouse-and-dentures story. I thought that was a great yarn!

Hi Ursie,
That is the best story I've heard in a long time. I can just imagine how hard it would have been to monitor the goat's movements - in more ways than one!
Thanks for dropping by and thanky you too for taking the trouble to leave a comment.
Cheers
David
