What would you do if you find a diamond ring on the floor in your office?

Answer 1

keep it but not wear it at the office for damn sure.

Answer 2

Ask around who has dropped it, we have a pretty small workplace and it's secure, I've been leaving my bag there all day long for eight years, nothing has ever been stolen from me or anyone else. Found a quarter once during my cleanup shift of the break room, put it on the table, next cleanup shift (at least a couple weeks later) it was still there in plain sight (I know it was the same 'cause it was minted in a semi-rare year, not enough to be valuable but uncommon enough it'd be *extreme* coincidence that someone else had just put a quarter of the same year in that spot). That's when I pocketed it. :P Anyhow I wouldn't be afraid someone who didn't own the ring would try to claim it.

Answer 3

Well, I would definitely not keep it. I hate to think what the owner would be going through once they realize they have lost their ring. I would ask my colleagues if they lost a ring...without giving them a description of the ring but asking them to describe the ring. If no one claims to own it I would turn it over to my manager or a lost and found department with the office.

Answer 4

I would put up a notice saying that I found a ring and if anyone tried to claim it I would ask for a description of it and where they thought they had lost it to be sure I was giving it back to the rightful owner. I couldn`t keep it because it could have sentimental value to the person and you can`t replace that.

Answer 5

If it doesn't belong to someone in the office, then it was a customer. You can call the ones who visited your office and ask them to describe it. Someone's diamond ring has a value to them beyond price and you wouldn't be happy wearing it.

Answer 6

Put yourself in the owner's place and do what is right. Let people in the office know you found a ring. If they lost it, have them describe it to you in order to determine it's rightful owner. If no one can claim it, then consider it yours. But, at least put the right foot forward by making a good effort to find its owner.

Answer 7

Report it to your immediate supervisor that you found something valuable on the job, do not say what. The person who can say what it is, in great detail, gets it back. I would not turn it into anyone, the owner can kiss it goodbye if you do, it will be stolen for sure.
Call security, and ask if anyone lost any thing of value. Again, only the person who can name it and describe it, gets it.
A bill of sale for proof would be nice. Someone may have heard the owner say something, and might try to beat them to reclaiming it.

Answer 8

I would ask around to see if some had lost a ring or turn it into security. If no one were to claim it after 90 days it would be mine.

Answer 9

Say nothing and start wearing it at the office until the ring's owner recognizes it. Then give the person a good teasing by pretending it's mine, before giving it back.

Answer 10

Tell people you found a ring, but make people describe it in intricate exacting detail before giving it up. If nobody can describe it exactly, it is yours. Then get it appraised, it might be a cubic zirconia.

Answer 11

Ask around to see if someone lost one. If someone says they did, make sure they can describe it before you hand it over. Or just make a poster saying you found it and leave a number where someone can contact you.
