Q: How do I get back an engament ring I thing it has been pond
A:
An engagement ring in a pond may be located using a metal detector. Or an engagement ring in a pawn shop might be reclaimed with proof of being the rightful owner. If you think it’s stolen, you could file a police report.
As always, you get what you pay for. Be sure to talk to a qualified attorney about your specific situation before choosing to rely on information you get from internet discussion boards such as this one.
Thomas. R. Morris agrees with this answer
A: If you gave an engagement ring to your fiancée and she pawned it, that would be an anticipatory repudiation of the contract for marriage. Under Michigan law, the gift of an engagement ring is a conditional gift, so if you find it in a pawn shop, you can claim to be the owner. In other words, I agree with the other attorney’s answer.
