Image via WikipediaFortune didn't favour the brave or smile on him...
A Kiwi man from Invercargill in Southland who thought fortune had smiled on him when he found a $2000 ring that had been dropped on the main street, has ended up in the pokey on a charge of theft.
Instead of handing in the ring to the local police, and waiting for the owner to claim it, he decided to get cute and took the ring to the local jewellers for valuing.
However when the ring's owner reported it missing,the police found the man on the store's CCTV footage.
Not a case of fortune favouring the brave, but the naive, I would suggest. I don't know whether he convinced the police,the owner and the jewellery store of his innocence? But it made for an interesting story here.
