Diver finds stolen property in river

Adiver found property that had been stolen from a man a year and a half previously in a river.

Ed Bieber was looking for rubbish and other sunken items at the bottom of the Menominee River in Wisconsin when he discovered a metal box stuffed with valuable jewellery and another filled with laminated newspaper obituaries.

Bieber revealed that a friend recognised the family from the obituaries and contacted local resident

Gary

Edwards, who confirmed that the items had been stolen from his home over a year ago.

Edwards told WGBA-TV: “I thought everything was gone and forgotten. And, luckily, he got in contact with me as the good guy he is.”

Bieber was glad to help reunite someone with their lost property.

He said: “I could’ve brought it to the pawnshop and said ‘How much can you give me for this?’

“This is worth $ 400, $600. I could’ve done that, and I think a lot of people would. But it feels good just to be able to give back to the

community.”
