    I have a story to relate which is amusing. My cousin Amber was a
    "Tom-Boy' when she was a young girl. Living in Illinois she had the
    opportunity to climb a lot of trees. One fine day, she climbed up a
    tree and found, are you ready for this?---A lady's diamond cluster
    ring, stuck in a bough. She retrieved it, and showed it to her
    Mother. Being a good citizen, it was turned into the local police
    department "lost and found." A year goes by, no claim is made and
    under the law of salvage, the ring now belongs to Amber. Our family
    theory is that it was either stolen and dropped by the thief or that
    it slipped off of a finger. The mystery was: How did it end up in the
    tree? Well, if you are familiar with Illinois, the squirrels are
    everywhere and they are attracted to all sorts of small things aside
    from food and you get the picture. I don't think DeBeers hires
    squirrels to mine diamonds, do they? LOL!
