no explaining some people

A week ago the local bargain bulletin had an ad from a woman who lost her wedding ring in a local park. I thought about it for a while and called her. I introduced myself and offered to spend an hour or two searching the area. She said she would get back to me when she had time. That was last Sunday evening - today is Friday and she has yet to call back. Maybe she found it in the meantime or maybe she doesn't trust me (sight unseen). But it seems a bit strange. So much for my weekly good deed.

Her cousin has a radio shack metal detector. LOL I agree there must be some fear in divulging the area the ring was lost. I even think the newspapers instruct people not to give out info. I recall when my brother-in-law asked me to locate a lost ring for a guy he worked with. I went out there and the guy told me it was over in a certain area. I somehow just knew it was over at a different area. He insisted I was wrong. I found it in about two minutes.

The force is strong in this one

She probably used that as an excuse and sold it for cash.

All you can do is offer to help. If they do not accept the offer then there is nothing else you can do. You did your part, the rest is up to them................

Just do your good deed and don't expect ANYTHING in return; if you expect something in return the deed becomes selfserving.

I'm waiting on three people that lost their rings and they are not strangers just friends of friends. Been told how great it would be if I could find the ring. Three months later still waiting, oh yes I told them it was free. Sometimes I just can't figure people.

I think I'll will go with Fabio on that one!!!!

I have seen it before...Couples who really DO NOT know their partner....Maybe she has a habbit to support...You never know...
I tried to get in contact with a woman nearby who claimed she lost a wedding band...I called the number 3 times and only got an answering machine...No replies.

I have had the same happen. I think some people either are lying and the ring was never lost. They sold it maybe,,who knows.
Or they think in their mind,,I would rather it be lost,,than to give this guy with a metal detector a chance to find it ,,and keep it on me. If this is the deal,,then they really don't want their ring all that bad.

I say that because,,,I have had people call me before wanting their ring found and immidiatly!!!! Went to their house and they are standing there,,white knuckled,,,walking with you,,,worried about their ring. I have found it 2 out of 2 times this has happened.
The others,,,no call back,,or very limited info.
