St. John: On Dec. 23 at 4:45 p.m., a man went to the restroom at Trunk Bay and placed his wedding band on top off the hand dryer while washing his hands. He forgot to take the ring with him; when he remembered shortly after, he ran back in to get it but it had been taken. The wedding band is white & yellow gold with five small diamonds in the white gold portion. When you look at the ring on the top it looks like a triangle and from the side view it looks square. The minimum reward for the return of this band is $300.
