He could've kept it.... but ...two things... he said he knew a persons wedding ring cannot be replaced... it is like sacred.... so he wanted it to be returned. Secondly... because it was engraved... it can be traced. Shouid he sell it to a pawnbroker.... then it was discovered the owner was dispossessed of the ring in a robbery... then what?...do you really believe he can explain?...prison will be his new home. All that glitters is not gold!.
That's what happens when everything is so organized

It's good sha...

Kudos to you for updating the thread so far

NYC..... Citibike is a bike renting company... you pay via credit/debit card ...bikes are e-locked at the stands and released with c/d card . You are now being charged by time and charges stop when bike is back in a stand at any location. But...these bikes appear in the hoods!....high tech vs low tech!...they know how to release the bikes without card.... ride then to near their destination..and just leave them on the street. .. another person hops on it..goes to where he's going...and do the same..abandon it!

NYC... Firemen in action!...second time witnessing a 'car fire'...both GM SUVs!..more like electrical...but a whole lot of black smoke storming out from the engine compartment of the parked vehicle. Both times the FD first pumped water from the front... the smoke died down for a few...and resurrected. That's when they bust up the dash to hose the engine from the inside... wreck the ar..no smoke...they jump in the truck and leave. Can you imagine returning to find your car all soaking wrecked?

Airbnb is your likely shot and that you can find online. Budget for $150/200 per day...and that depends on location. Public transport is available 24/7.... can buy metro card.... $2.75 per use/ think $35/week unlimited rides. Used for bus and train....can ride on train and transfer to a bus/vice versa on the same fare. Restaurants...it depends.... high brew eateries where you want to snap pics and upload to Facebook to boost prestige... two thin slices of bread with one small scrambled egg and a teacup of ordinary tea can cost you $15.... do you want to know about lunch? At the restaurant of my choice...that whole heap of food doesn't cost $10... but this is about location. This enough for you to digest before making a decision.

NYC.....No space for stuff no longer needed.... either take to a storage centre... sell on line... donate or dump! These city birds... seeds and fruits and worms not on their menu...baked foods #1... here they share a bagel.... and I can bet my life would soon be flying off to find left over Pepsi or Coke!
