Hooter's wont return my lost wedding ring!!

Ever find your ring?

Well I look at it this way.

1: You lost the ring not Hooters or anyone else. Stop blaming them.
2: What about the fact that you could have lost it in the parking
lot?
3: You never realized you lost it until you got home, so that leaves
you to search your transportation and everywhere else you were after
leaving the place.
4: Where had you been in your house from the time you got home till
the moment you noticed it missing? It could have come off when you
removed your jacket.

Lastly if it is so valuable why noy post a reward for finding it?

Have you heard back?

If you did lose it in the restaurant it's entirely possible that
another customer took it. Hooters has no responsibility for that.

My husband went to a stag for a friend and didnt wear his ring. He is
the only married one of the lot and didnt want to stick out. He just
got out of the dog house for that after a month in there.

OK, so you're a married man admitting he was at a boobie bar without
his wife. What's that say to her? While you recover from the
screamfest and the beating she likely gave you for being in a Hooter's
and losing your wedding ring, think this over...

1. Nobody forced you to go to Hooter's.
2. Why should Hooter's be responsible for the property of their
patrons? Unless someone on the payroll stole your ring, it's not
Hooter's (the location you visited or the corporate office) problem.
3. If your ring comes off without being manually removed, it doesn't
fit properly.
4. You cannot blame someone else if you lost something that's your own
personal property. If you lost your house keys at work, would you
blame your boss?

Responsibility is up to each individual to have. Don't pass the buck
(or the blame) when you forget this.

I hope you somehow manage to find that ring, but I also hope you
realize nobody but you is responsible for it's safe keeping - on your
ring finger!

oh dude...you are in deep dookie. if my husband lost his ring i would
KILL him...

no wait, i most likely would not. my first husband lost his wedding
ring in the ocean. it was sad. we cried. then we got a new ring. i
lost my band somewhere...i cried. then i got a new ring.

then we got a divorce. we had our differences but it had nothing to do
with out inability to hang on to our wedding bands. ultimately they're
just possessions, but the second you realized you lost your ring you
should have retraced your steps all the way back to hooters the same
day.

did you go to the bathroom, did you flick it out or your car at the
parking lot, did you hang your hand out of the car while driving, are
you sure you put it on that morning? where you at the hooters with
your wife? if no, did you put the ring in your pocket like a dumbass?

i'm just sayin' cause why else would you be positive you lost it there
of all places? :P

good luck finding your ring. if you can't find it plead for
forgiveness, save for a new ring and never do it again.

Do you have insurance that would cover it? My insurance company
calls it a personal article floater...technically I think it's called
an inland marine policy. It doesn't cost much and we get blanket
coverage for items under a certain amount, the more valuable items are
scheduled with full descriptions and documentation. The great thing
about the policy is it covers not just stolen but lost items as well.
Our homeowners policy maxes out at, I think it was $1,500, the amount
of coverage for stolen jewelry.

Did you take it off in the parking lot/at the door/at the table?

Why did you take off your ring?

OMG!!
This is a sticky situation. You are certain you lost your ring. That
in itself is bad enough, but to have "lost" it at Hooters.......Ouch!

That's gonna leave a mark for sure!

I feel bad for your wife, especially since it was inscribed with
"forever in love"

SAD :(

Absolutely the women who work there do so at their own free will - but
I find it incredibly sexist. I'm not going to patronize a restaurant
that objectifies women (and I don't go to strip clubs either)

How can you be so sure someone actually found the ring?

It could be possible that another customer that was in the restaurant
found the ring and didnt turn it in.

what your wedding band was doing off your finger in a Hooters in the
first place?

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall during THAT
conversation.

"Honey, here's the thing. I went out with some buddies and
accidentally lost my wedding ring."
"Well, where were you. We'll go see if it's been turned in."
"We were at Hooter's."
*SLAP*

Don't take off your wedding band at hooters, and you won't lose it.

They looked for it and did not find it. It could be anywhere.

They can't return what they don't have.

I worked at Hooters eons ago when I was young...(applied on a dare &
they actually hired me!). We had so many young GI's lose their
wedding bands on the table after taking them off. Sometimes we found
them - sometimes we didn't. The restraunt IS NOT responsible for your
irresponsibility!

I sympsthize. I lost my pre-engagement ring in a parking lot. I figure
it came off with my gloves. We went back and my daughter spotted it on
the pavement. All run over, the stone broken and gold band mangled. It
was fixed many, many years later (when we could afford to) and will
pass the ring on with the story.

I bet you want your ring back - no fun explaining to your wife that
you took it off somewhere and forgot about it.

That being said - I'm sorry you lost it, but if you're so positive
it's there (and perhaps in the garbage) did you ask them if you could
look?

Again, sorry for your loss, but Hooter's is not responsible for your
lost property.

You have no idea if you actually lost it there. In my experience,
both from my own freaking out and the freakouts of others over lost
items, just because we think we've lost something somewhere specific
doesn't mean that it was lost there.

I sympathize with the loss of your wedding ring, but honestly, trying
to terrorize a bunch of waitresses because you've lost your wedding
ring is foolish. How will they be able to prove to your satisfaction
that the ring wasn't there if it actually wasn't there?

If an employee did steal it, you're out of luck.

It appears that you do not know WHEN you actually lost the ring. So
what makes you think that another customer did not find it and keep
it. Why are you blaming the employees for your loss?

Mark G.,
The only way Hooters could be held responsible is if they had found
the "lost" item, advised you of such and somehow was unable to produce
the item when you called for it.
BillR.

assuming you lost it there... another customer could have taken it
too.


you might have been one of the last customers to leave, but that
doesn't determine when it fell off. another customer could have seen
it and snatched it up.


as for questioning the employes... i'm not sure how far the manager
can legally go with that.

for example... i know they wouldn't be allowed to search the employees
since it would violate most laws. they're managers, not cops.


i'd recommend contacting your insurance company to talk about
replacement.

Please. You know you had it when you pulled in the lot. You have no
other knowledge, evidently, of when it came off your hand or when.

Let's say the ring just fell off your finger. Who knows where that
happened? Could have been in the parking lot. Could have been in
*your* parking lot after you got home. And someone other than a
Hooterss employee snatched it up.

Could have fallen off when you were on your way to the table. Could
have fallen off on your way out the door.

You can't be 150% sure, and I don't see how you can be 100% sure. You
don't know when or where it when missing. Maybe one of your buddies
was jealous you had the ring, saw it fall off and took it. Who knows?

It always amuses me how men seem to lose their wedding rings at
Hooters.

I'm sorry that you've lost the ring, but there are many other
possibilities. I doubt their front door leads directly to your house.
There are parking lots, vehicles and driveways that you have been
since you left the restaurant.

I am certain that the trash in the men's room was dumped the night you
were there. If you want the trash searched, you may be able to go
through their dumpster, but I doubt it would be a pleasant experience.

Oh and one more thing, if my ring is not found I think Hooters should
pay me for it. I KNOW my ring is there!!

I would also Like to add that I would like the mens room garbage
checked for my ring, just incase it fell off after I washed my hands.
If it is still possible that the trash is there.
