Out Done By A Baby

October 7th, 2009 by Brad Lovell

A couple of weeks back I received a call out to Centennial Park in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. A gentleman who’s name has now slipped my mind (apologies), lost his wedding ring while playing touch football. The unfortunate part of this job was the gentleman did not feel the ring slip off his finger. He realised the ring was missing after he finished up. I drove out to Centennial Park and we squared off the perimeter where the touch football game had been played. This was going to be a long job, as their was  copious amounts of surface area to cover. About an hour had passed as I continued my grid search when I noticed a man pushing a pram approach the gentleman who had lost the ring. In the pram was a little baby girl who had fallen over a stick. When her father bent down to pick her up he noticed the ring appear from under the stick. I was still a good 2 hours away from grid searching that part of the field, so this little baby not only out hunted me, but saved me a lot of time :)
