MISPLACED MILLIONS

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- You might think it would be hard to misplace $3 million bucks. But not if you're the government. Philadelphia officials discovered millions in wage taxes that should have been deposited in 2005. That money was from Uncle Sam for Department of Defense employees who work in Philly. But that check wasn't in the mail. City officials notified the feds and new checks were issued. The missing millions were discovered as part of a corruption investigation. But local officials are still trying to determine if it was an innocent oversight or part of a crime.

MISSING RING

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Tom Blowers now has his high school class ring back. During the summer of 1977 his then girlfriend dumped him and tossed the ring into the lagoon at Six Flags Over Texas. It was all a distant memory, until Blowers saw a Facebook message his ring had been found. Noah Gomez discovered it last month in his mother's coin collection. She didn't know where it came from, but Gomez decided to return it. The two met over drinks recently and discovered they had more in common than the long lost ring. They tell The Dallas Morning News they both happened to have worked at Six Flags in the summer of '77.
