DIAMOND LIES IN STREET
A valuable diamond has been lying in the street in Timaru for the last five months but the loser was not as unlucky as she imagined. About the beginning of April a woman lost the stone from her ring in Beverley Road but subsequent searches proved in vain. Heavy snow later covered the street, followed by frosts and rain. Last Friday night a friend of the woman who had lost the diamond was returning home along Beverley Road. Caught in the lights of a car, something glittered brightly in the street. It was the lost diamond, deeply embedded in a crevice opened by the snow and frost. After being dug out with a car key the diamond was returned to its surprised and grateful owner.
