Worker gave dropped ring to wrong person
Police said the ring slipped off the 42-year-old woman's finger while she was at the store May 6 and the employee ran out into the parking lot to find her, the New York Post reported.
However, he did not actually find the ring's owner, but a woman in a similar hairstyle and coat who claimed the ring as hers after the employee showed it to her and asked if she had dropped it.
Police said the woman used cash to pay for her purchases at the store so they are using security camera footage to try to identify her.
The true owner of the ring said it had been a 10th anniversary gift from her husband.
"The ring meant a lot to me," she said. "My husband worked hard to buy me that ring. No matter what the circumstances, it's not hers. The insurance company paid me, but I don't want the money. I want the ring back."

Didn't think an adult woman would be that dishonest.
The employee was honest, but should have turned the ring in to management rather than try to find the owner.
I'm sure later, when the owner realized she had lost the ring, she would have returned and checked the with store management.
