Here’s a piece of engagement advice you really shouldn’t need: Do not take off your $10,000 engagement ring. Definitely do not take it off in a H&M dressing room. And whatever you do, for the love of God, do not walk off and leave it in the dressing room.
The 23-year-old told police that she took off the ring as she tried on clothes, and forgot to put the custom-made band back on before heading out of the room.
A few minutes after leaving the store, at about 2:15 p.m., she realized what she had done, but the ring was already missing when she returned, according to police reports.
Video shows a couple of women going into the dressing room afterward, but there’s no proof they took the ring.
This raises many, many questions. For starters: What about trying on clothes at H&M requires removing your engagement ring? (Was it THAT big?) Why wouldn’t you put your ring in your purse, or in your wallet, or perhaps on a chain around your neck? How do you walk off and leave 10Gs worth of sparkle somewhere as dingy as an H&M dressing room?
The cops are investigating, but it looks like this may be a case where the law of “finders keepers, losers weepers” applies.
