ABC 7 Trying To Match Wedding Ring Found In Sheepshead Bay With Owner Before Couple’s 60th Anniversary
It’s not a glass slipper, but it will still require a perfect fit to solve this Brooklyn fairytale.
ABC 7 is trying to match a wedding ring found in a Sheepshead Bay parking lot with it’s rightful owner.
The TV station reports the ring was found by Angela Bokserman just after Hurricane Sandy. Bokserman put up flyers and went to the police to try and find the owner, but had no success.
“I went to the precinct. They said they had to keep it and I said, ‘oh no, it’s going to be in the abyss,'” Bokserman told ABC 7.
So she slipped the gold band in her purse and held onto it for almost three years. She turned to ABC 7 in an effort to pair the lost wedding ring with its owner ahead of what she believes will be the mystery couple’s 60th wedding anniversary.
The inside of the wedding ring has an inscription that reads ’10-29-55’ as well as initials MF to __, according the ABC 7. The news station is withholding the last set of initials because only the true owner of the lost jewelry would know how to complete the phrase.
“It’s coming onto their 60th wedding anniversary and they don’t have the ring,” Bokserman told the station. “If this person isn’t with us anymore I would like his or her kids to say wow somebody actually found it.”
ABC 7 said the New York City Clerk’s office was not able to help because the couple’s full names were not on the ring. The station is asking those with information to call their office at 917-260-7664. Or contact the station on their website.
