Jerusalem Residents Frantically Search for Diamond Ring Accidentally Thrown in Trash

Written by Michael Bachner/TPS on January 21, 2016

Jerusalem (TPS) – Drama unfolded in Jerusalem’s Geula neighborhood on Thursday morning, January 21, as dozens of people scoured the contents of a fully loaded garbage truck in search of a small diamond ring.

The search began after a future bride accidentally threw her engagement ring, worth over $9,300, into a rubbish bin. According to the family, the ring was caught on a trash bag which was thrown into the bin.

Seconds later, the content of the bin was loaded onto the truck along with the expensive diamond ring.

The woman, who is due to marry in one month, and her family immediately stopped the truck and called the public to help them. Dozens of neighbors immediately offered to help and search truck’s content.

After it was decided it was too dangerous to continue searching the truck itself, it was taken to a warehouse near Har HaMenuchot cemetery in Givat Shaul and unloaded, with the approval of Jerusalem Municipality officials.

The family addressed the general public and asked them to search for the ring, which they claim is definitely somewhere within the content of the truck. Due to the ring’s worth and importance, they also offered a cash prize to whoever succeeded in locating it.

“Please, anyone come and help search for the ring in a garbage truck currently parked in Givat Shaul (it is surely there),” wrote the future bride’s sister in the announcement on social media.

As of 3:00 PM (Israel time), the ring hasn’t yet been found.
