Roseville Woman's Ring Lost On Halloween Returned By Teens In Doctor Who Costumes
ROSEVILLE (CBS13) — A Roseville woman got quite the scare on Halloween when she lost her diamond ring while handing out candy. But the honesty of one teen helped reunite her with her missing jewelry.
Dakota Brown may be 18 years old, but she didn't hesitate to go trick-or-treating on Halloween with her boyfriend.
"I'm not into parties and the whole drinking or smoking situation," she said.
So they went out in their Doctor Who costumes to get some candy, but they got a lot more than that when they stopped at Sharrie Crockell's home.
"She was wearing face make up, like KISS makeup, and we're like, oh this lady is really cool,��� she said.
Crockell was putting the finishing touches on her costume before heading to a party later with her husband. While she handed out the candy, she accidentally gave away her diamond ring.
"I just panicked. I was like oh my god, because it's a valuable ring to me," she said.
Brown found the ring in her bag, and it just so happened that both women had the same idea: putting up fliers to find the missing ring and return it to its owner.
While Brown was putting up fliers the next day, she stumbled on Crockell's and quickly called her to give her the good news. Crockell figured the ring was gone for good and that someone had taken it to a pawn shop for quick cash.
"I'm thankful that that isn't what happened, that Dakota felt that it was something that needed to be done—giving it back to the rightful owner," she said.
Brown is glad Crockell's Halloween scare was temporary and that she could show kids these days still know right from wrong.
Crockell gave Brown a $100 reward for her good deed, which Brown says will be donated to a Roseville animal shelter.
