May 20 (UPI) -- A North Carolina woman found a 1938 class ring in the parking lot of a Starbucks and was able to return it to the original owner's granddaughter.
Lori Rhew said she found the Virginia Tech Class of 1938 ring in the parking lot of a Starbucks cafe in Wilmington.
"I just noticed a shiny object in the corner of the parking lot," Rhew told WECT-TV. "And I thought, 'This is a beautiful ring.'"
Rhew said she held onto the ring in the hopes of identifying its owner's family.
"I'm a sentimental person and I appreciate family heirlooms," Rhew said. "So, it just didn't feel right to get rid of it or sell it or give it away."
