A homeless youth who got a 14-carat gold ring with square-cut diamonds by mistake has returned the jewel to its owner.<\/p>\n

Trinda Gajek, a nurse working in Nanaimo, British Columbia, had put the ring inside her wallet and lost it when she dumped all the change she had into the hands of the youth.<\/p>\n

According to her account, which was reported on by CHEK News<\/a>, the incident took place while she was waiting for her partner at the parkade of the hospital where she works and saw the young man wandering and looking a little lost. After offering her help and giving him some coins, she drove away. Later on, she remembered she had put the ring in the change compartment of her wallet.<\/p>\n

The nurse shared the story with local media and, after learning about it, another homeless man, Raymond Ahlstrom, set out to help.<\/p>\n

A veteran of the streets, Ahlstrom found the youth pretty quickly and recovered the ring. The young man had been keeping it safe in his water bottle.<\/p>\n

The next day, Ahlstrom returned the gem, which lost a couple of diamonds on its journey through Nanaimo. However, the sentimental value of the piece remains intact. It was bought a few years ago by Gajek’s teenage children who pooled together their own money to buy their mom a ring she had seen at a jewelry store in Vancouver but could not afford.<\/p>\n
