LYME — Sometime while he was working the register at the Lyme Country Store on Friday, Tony Pippin. Sr. lost a ring his wife, Patricia, gave him 45 years ago. He’s asking customers who shopped there to check their grocery bags.
“Evidently it slipped into somebody’s bag and I didn’t notice,” said Pippin, who has owned the store with his wife since 1986.
Pippin noticed the ring was missing around 1:30 but said he isn’t sure when it actually slipped off. His daughter put a notice out on local listservs in hopes that one of the roughly 200 customers that come through the store on a typical day will find it and return it.
The ring is gold with a diamond inset.
“It has a sentimental value,” Pippin said.
Anyone who finds the ring is asked to bring it back to the store or call 603-795-2213.
