BOSTON (Reuters) -- Are diamonds really forever?

An anonymous gift-giver left a $15,000 diamond engagement ring to the owner of an unlocked car in western Massachusetts with a typed note hinting at a broken heart.

"Merry Christmas. Thank you for leaving your car door unlocked. Instead of stealing your car I gave you a present. Hopefully this will land in the hands of someone you love, for my love is gone now. Merry Christmas to you," the note said.

The three-diamond ring with a white-gold band appeared on the seat of the man's car at a train station in Westborough, about 30 miles west of Boston, on December 7, police said. Four days later, the man reported it to police.

"This appears to be random," said Westborough Police Lt. Paul Donnelly. "I think there was a search for a car that was unlocked."

The 37-year-old man decided to keep the ring after a jeweler appraised its value at $15,000, police said.

"Though the diamond was left on the passenger's side, the handgun under the driver's seat was suspeciously missing. Random brain matter found several hundred feet away appears to be unrelated."

Cmon, maybe he should've thought about it more before he asked. He probably only knew her for a few months and thought she was the one. Perfect example of when one person loves the other one a lot more than the other. Dumbass.

awww that is sad :( Poor thing. Its no fun being heart broken..especially around the holidays.
I wonder if the man is gonna sell it or what. I don't think I'd sell the ring if I were to have found it like that.

Man, with a $15,000 ring it's not hard to buy love. That guy must have been a real loser.

Hmmm, no. I just don't feel bad for a guy that's too stupid to know she'd say no. If she did die, then he has bad timing. :lol

That was my thought. I read this and didn't think this guy had been rejected. I thought the person who gave away the ring was mourning someone.

If you get dumped you sell the ring and spend the $15G on booze and hookers.

So - do you give your girlfriend a ring and say 'this was on my car seat,' or what? Cause I sure could've used it.

No, I think it's "Fuck 'em with the camera rolling because no one would believe anyone would actually sleep with me and I have to prove it" and leave 'em.

You can always tell if a woman loves you if you don't spoil them and they still have a smile on their face.

As bad as I feel for the person now, I feel even worst for the ring giver when their sanity returns and they regret parting with the ring.

So in other words Senor Barry White.


Treat em semi decent, and if they hang around still, they are worth marrying?

Great strategy there chief.

Cmon lighten up, did you know the guy? I assume she didn't die and he just has a broken heart(dumbass). No wonder so many marriages end in divorce. She was probably his first real girlfriend and loved her more than she did in return.
