Probably some sort of mean-spiritedness involved.

And the $4,000 gold nugget that was dropped off the previous year?

Someone dropped a South African Krugerrand ($1,600) into a kettle here in Portland,  for the 3 time in 4 years.

South African engagement called off. She found out Mel was a nutter.

Like ten years ago someone did something similar in Boston... at the train station I used to commute out of, some lady opened a random car that was unlocked and left a diamond engagement ring worth around $8,000 (IIRC) in a box in the passenger seat, along with a note along the lines of "He broke my heart, but maybe this will warm yours."

I wish that was my car she'd left it in, but then again I'm not an idiot that leaves his car unlocked at a freaking MBTA station. :huh:
