Al reached out to me requesting my assistance to recover his wedding ring in early October. This is a story of three places: 1) Where they think they lost it; 2) Where they say they lost it; and 3) Where I found it. (I did not find this time) Al mentioned “I’m quite certain I lost my ring in the yard because I was cutting my lawn and in and out of my garage all day.” He suggested I look in the front yard first. I did a very thorough search…no dice. I spoke with Al again and he suggested I look in the back yard next because “I spent a fair amount of time in the back yard too”. Before I began my search in the backyard, I asked about looking in his home, specifically, “did you look under the fridge, oven, washer, dryer, furniture, etc. I began my search in the backyard for about 10 minutes until Al came out from the house and emphatically stated, “hold the presses!”. Al showed me his wedding ring he found under the washer. He washed his hands several times throughout the day, and his ring fit loosely because he lost some weight recently. The ring fell off his finger after washing and drying his hands. It fell on a carpet by the washer and bounce further underneath the washer. Al said, “I looked under the washer, but did not look down far enough. The ring was 6-8 inches on the floor underneath from the edge of the washer…Al was all smiles and relieved…
