It sucks when you lose something that holds a sentimental value for you. It may not necessarily be something expensive, but rather something that holds dear to your heart because of the memories associated with it. One internet user, who works as an aircraft mechanic, knows this feeling all too well. Therefore, when he found someone’s silver ring in one of the parts of an aircraft, he was determined to find the ring’s owner by any means necessary. Since the internet has proved numerous times to be extremely useful when it comes to finding things or people (remember the story that Panda featured about a girl who tracked down her childhood friend with help from Twitter?), this mechanic thought that it might work this time, too. He also mentioned to Bored Panda, that he had not evaluated the ring yet, but he might do so in the future.

This mechanic found a ring inside one of United’s aircraft and decided to take to the internet to find its rightful owner

He says that he found it in a ‘very tricky spot’

And he is encouraging the Imgur platform to do ‘its thing’

However, some people thought that the ring was worthless, because it looked cheap

So the guy, who originally posted the photos, edited his post to clarify that the ring’s monetary value is not the most important thing here

Some people were praising the guy for being a good person

While others saw a great opportunity to troll him a little bit

Also, many people were wondering why the mechanic didn’t report it to the airport and he again had to clarify the reason

Bored Panda sincerely hopes that the ring will finally make its way to its real owner. After all, the internet has proved its limitless capabilities to us many times.

It seems that Imgur is full of trolling a******s. Just help the man find the owner of the ring!

People are asses. My engagement ring was cheap but still worth a lot to me.

Why should a ring be thousands of dollars? I'd rather have a 20 dollar ring from someone I truly love and care for than a super expensive one from some rich dude. The cheaper the ring, the more value it holds to the person, no? I'd rather not think "This ring is worth so much money" whenever I see my ring in the future and instead "I love the person who gave this to me."
