Wedding ring returned after 2000km surprise trip

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

A Napier man's wedding ring has taken a miraculous 2000km return trip thanks to an eagle-eyed Dunedinite and a bit of plain old luck.

Don Alexander, 84, lost his ring while packing up crates of donated lemons and grapefruit destined for the elderly in Dunedin.

Four crates sent to Dunedin were stored at Timeless Floor and Bathroom owner and Rotary member Barry Johnston's yard.

Three days later something caught Johnston's eye while he was walking on the gravel driveway outside.

The treasured item was sent back to its owner, who couldn't believe his luck.
