A GLEN Forrest boy has been rewarded for his honesty after finding two wedding rings lost in the Mundaring Woolworths carpark.

El Caballo Heights resident Dessie Schreuders had travelled to Mundaring with her husband on Sunday afternoon to buy items for Share the Dignity’s it’s in the bag donation drive supporting vulnerable women.

After removing her rings to apply hand cream, she unknowingly dropped them when she stepped out of the car.

When she later realised the rings were missing, the couple rushed back but found nothing.

Ms Schreuders said friends helped post appeals on Facebook, and people in the community offered support and sympathy but the rings remained unfound.

Not long after, Glen Forrest resident Ben Walsh saw the Facebook post and checked his young son Oliver Walsh’s small collection of treasures where the six-year-old keeps coins, stones and other objects he finds during their regular outings.

Mr Walsh said the two rings had been run over and were flattened but they matched the picture.

“I thought, ‘It can’t be,’ but I checked, matched them to the picture, and straight away gave her a call,” he said.

“You’ve got to do the right thing.”

Mr Walsh said they had visited Mundaring Woolworths that week for their usual shop.

“Oliver got out of the car, looked down and found the rings,” he said.

“He absolutely loves finding treasure.”

Mrs Schreuders said receiving the call was the most wondrous feeling and met the family after school pick up the next day.

She brought a bag of chocolates for Oliver and a reward card, which Mr Walsh initially tried to refuse.

“Oliver is the most beautiful, polite little boy,” she said.

“Meeting them was an absolute joy.”

She said their conversation uncovered a string of coincidences beyond the finding of the ring.

They found their families had lived near each other in the UK and even shared mutual friends in Glen Forrest.

Two rings have now been recovered, including Ms Schreuders’ engagement ring set with a diamond from Canada’s Ekati mine.

Mrs Schreuders said she was still on the lookout for the third gold ring.

She said it contained seven diamonds symbolising the seven years she said “no” before agreeing to marry her husband, which remained missing and may have been caught in a car’s tyre.

Despite the loss, both families said the experience affirmed the goodness in the community.

“It made her day, and honestly, it made ours too,” Mr Walsh said.
