U.S. -- Before Racquel Cloutier
went to the hospital to deliver her
fifth child, she hid her $23,000
(N3,681,095) diamond wedding
ring in a plain watch box to keep it
safe from her two-year-old twins.
As she was in the hospital
recovering, her husband, Eric
Cloutier, decided to hold a yard
sale in part to keep the couple's
other children occupied.
Only one problem: he accidentally put
the watch box, containing the $23,000
ring inside, for sale - for $10
(N1,600) - and someone bought it.
Cloutier realized the ring was missing
last week, when she returned from the
hospital.
"I go into my husband's closet, can't
find the box, and then he tells me he
sold it. I said, 'You sold it? What do
you mean you sold it?' I immediately
started crying," Cloutier told ABC
News.
"I'm very, very, very upset," Cloutier
continued. "I'm trying to remain
optimistic but I don't know anymore.
There's a small chance whoever bought
the box doesn't know the ring is in
there."
The ring, according to Eric Cloutier,
was bought by a blonde woman, who
hesitated before making the purchase.
Cloutier said she's optimistic the
woman - or whoever finds it - will
return the ring. "If you're honest,
you're honest," she said.
As for Cloutier's husband, he's had
better weeks. "He feels terrible,"
Cloutier said.
