Found a Wedding Band
FOUND by Rebecca Viall in Damascus, Virginia
My husband Will found this note at a laundromat in Damascus. Under what circumstances might the guy that lose it have removed his wedding band? And what made him so memorable?

Oh my, that doesn't sound good...

You'd think that would be something he'd keep track of... Unless he was trying to hide the fact he was married?

why would you take the note? what if the guy returned to the laundromat to see if anyone had found it, and didn't see the note with the finder's phone number? for shame! ;)

She remembers him but not his name or contact info? That doesn't sound good.

This reads really strange if you go into it thinking someone is informing someone else that they had found a wedding band called Silver to play at their festivities. And why would you hire a band that can "lose it"?

For shame! Taking this. That was plain mean. And for what purpose.. to post it? Meanwhile some guy is probably in a lot of trouble/despair for losing his wedding band. If it was in a laundromat, maybe he took it out of some clothes and laid it down somewhere.

Maybe, this guy was having a secret affair with someone and knew he went to that laundromat so posted a sign saying that he "lost" so as not to raise suspision.

I'm thinking the (foreign) women who owns the laundry mat wrote the note? Maybe the guy lost his wedding ring there, told the owners and when she found it later, she wrote the note to let everyone know. And she also wanted people to know she could verify the identity of the customer. I should be a detective! ;)

The note belongs in the laundromat, taped to the wall.

I bet she SAID she would recognize the person so that no one would get the idea of claiming the ring to sell at a pawn shop. Tricky.

A pawn shop wouldn't even TAKE a silver ring. Unless it's silver-colored but is actually white gold or platinum. Even then, not much cash0la.

He's married. He was just having some fun at the laundromat while he waited for the dryers. He always takes his ring off to mitigate the guilt feelings. It almost works, even in the summer when he has a tan line version of the ring as a reminder. This time, the illicit tryst was so mind blowing, he simply forgot to put the ring back on at the end. He left it on the back of the sink in the bathroom. She picked it up as a memento. Not long after, she started feeling guilty for keeping it, so she posted this note. She remembers his face, but never got his name or number (of course!) Since the note was stolen, he'll never get his ring back, but it's a moot point now.. his wife filed for divorce last March, when her long-held suspicions were confirmed in the bathroom of the country club where she discovered the dirty dog with her cousin, at her sister's wedding reception.

The Captain is right: this guy joined the "Mild Dry" club.

Ok...so I'm the Rebecca who sent this in over two years ago, and I haven't looked at it since. Why do so many people assume that this was wantonly and/or maliciously removed from its posting place? It was FOUND, folks - already trashed! Give your fellow Found fans some credit for common decency already.

i know, it was a stretch, but its early.

Rebecca, don't pay any attention to those judgenmental bitches. They say that every other day. They're just mad cuz they never find anything good. My motto remains, "If the Find is good enough for Davy and Jason (and Dreamy James), then it's good enough for us." Thanks for sending this in!

(My favorite part of the "Mild Dry" club is all that fluffing and folding....)

Rebecca, I for one would like to extend my personal and sincere apology for using the phrase "since the note was stolen" in my conjecture post. Caught up in the moment.
+ October 23, 2007 05:29 PM +

wow.
