    The poor guy has lost his love and you guys are thinking about the car and the ring. Very bad.

    Ejaz --- how can you say the poor guy lost his love.. wasnt the girl a stranger?? and how do people even know if the ring is truely worth $15K??? Such people are psycho's ... who follow women and do such psychotic stuff.. why not give me that money and I could have had bought him a car.. so that from then on he could leave his credit card sometimes in it....

    //by the way in $15K - I could have had bought a Santro Xing here and could have had invested some into MFs.

    no extiminator...
    the guy asked his girlfriend to marry him, she said no (or something similar / worse)... then he had this ring.. walking along broken heart it reminded him of her, so he "ditched" it in the nearest unlocked car he could find.

    the persons car he put it into was not his girl friend. But yeah.. still abit physco. (but then love makes us do strange things)

    Oh..yeah... I didnt realize that until I read your post (and the link above.. to verify it) ... Anyways.. I came up with a nice scenario .. now all of the posts with sympathy for the guy make sense.. The guy is a "fool in love". ... Wish him all the best!
