A Canadian man dug through piles of rubbish at his local dump in a valiant, romantic - and ultimately successful - effort to find his wife's accidentally discarded wedding rings.
The story begins when Steve Van Ysseldyk and his wife of 26 years, Jeannine, brought home a bag of popcorn from the cinema and spilled it in their garden.
While gathering up the buttery mess, Mrs Van Ysseldyk's rings seemingly fell into the popcorn bag which was then thrown into a compost bin.
The couple only realised the rings were missing after the compost had been collected. So, the next day, Mr Van Ysseldyk travelled to the dump to begin the daunting task of searching through 18 tonnes of organic waste.
"I was pretty optimistic," Mr Van Ysseldyk recalled, telling the BBC he knew he had to find them because "the wife's gotta have her rings, right?"
