It was the happiest moment of John’s life. He’d just proposed to his girlfriend, Daniella, in Times Square, and she said yes. He reached up to put the ring on her finger, his hands shaking… and suddenly, the ring was gone.

He looked down frantically, only to realize they were standing on top of a grate and the ring had fallen through the gaps. His new fiancée put her hands to her face in shock as they both crouched to the ground to try and recover the ring, but it was useless.

The ring was lost forever… or so they thought.

Just a day later, the NYPD was able to locate the ring by removing the grate, but they were not able to identify the couple it belonged to, so they put out a plea on social media in the hopes that the couple would come forward. It quickly went viral, and with each retweet, the NYPD got closer and closer to finding the ring's owners.

When still no one claimed it, they posted yet another picture - this time of the ring they’d recovered from the grate.

Fortunately, later that day, the newly engaged couple, who were originally from the UK, was found thanks to the NYPD's Twitter following. The NYPD wasted no time reuniting the grateful couple with their ring and they were finally able to celebrate their engagement to the fullest!
