Man Gets Ring Back After Losing It At Tollbooth

Ohio Man Gets His Wedding Ring Back After Accidentally Tossing In Till At Texas Tollbooth

(AP)  An Ohio man has his wedding band back _ and is back in his wife's good graces _ after the ring accidentally wound up in the till at a Texas tollbooth. Rodger Moore went to Texas for a family wedding nearly two weeks ago. He said he was on his way to catch his flight home when his ring slipped off as he threw change into the basket at an unmanned booth on the Dallas North Tollway.

Moore called his wife Sue, who was not happy. Then he drove to the next toll exit, where he found a worker and reported his loss.

When Moore landed at Columbus he was relieved to hear a message that the ring had been found. It arrived by mail a few days later.

Sue Moore said she threatened to glue the ring to his hand. But her husband has had it resized instead.

Sounds like the old "ring drop" routine has made it to Texass from Paris.
