A resident of the U.S. state of Utah lost a graduate ring in Germany in 1982 and received it thanks to a man who found missing on the beach in the United States. It is reported "Lenta.ru".
Scott Sanders accidentally left a ring in a toilet in the German city of Bitburg in 1982. The man did not expect to ever see him again.
Dan Tomander said he found a ring in a park on a beach in New Jersey or New York about 30 years ago. His stepfather kept the ring for many years, and then gave it to Tomander and suggested that he try to find the owner.
An online search revealed that Sanders High School published graduate lists every year.
On the subject: Princess Diana's engagement ring was to go to Megan, not Kate.
This made it easy to identify the owner of the ring. Thomander found that Sanders lives in Utah, just eight kilometers from his son's place of residence.
On Monday, May 4, Sanders received a long-lost ring.
A similar story happened with the American Debra Mackenna. Lost 47 years ago in the USA, the ring was found in the Finnish forest and returned to the mistress. The American does not know how it could be in Finland, writes "Lenta.ru".
In 1973, Sean, a resident of the American state of Maine, presented his beloved Debra McKenne with a Morse High School Alumni Association ring.
“He put a note in my coat pocket and three days later we went on a first date. There he gave me the ring, ”said Debra.
A few months later, the girl took it off to wash her hands in the toilet of the shopping center, and accidentally left the decoration on the sink. When she came to her senses and returned, the ring was gone. The girl left a card with a name and a phone number in the store in case someone finds a ring, but for half a century no one called.

He found that the ring belongs to a member of the Morse High School Alumni Association, found out the year of graduation and saw that the initials “Sh. M. " Then he contacted the leadership of Morse High School and reported the find. In gratitude, the staff sent Saarinen a branded sweatshirt with the school logo.
Debra admitted that she was touched by the act of Saarinen, and she is grateful to him for his help. The American does not know how the ring could be in Finland. She said that Sean had worked in this country for several years, but not in the region where the ring was found.
