To find this weird...

Got an envelope pushed through the door just now and in it was a ring. Not a particularly expensive one not that it matters. It didn't look new. On the envelope it had a phone number inside but it was not written, sort of stuck on numbers. I am a bit wtf to be honest. What's that all about?!

Ohh weird especially as the man who answered had no idea either

Sagradafamiliar · 22/10/2019 23:30

The ring will be cheap as it's only significance was to give the message: 'ring this number'. How creative.

Mrsmummy90 · 22/10/2019 23:41

Yeh that's weird af. So the guy on the phone had no clue about it?

AtrociousCircumstance · 22/10/2019 23:43

Did the guy on the phone ask anything about you, where you live, your name, ask to meet up?

Nillynally · 22/10/2019 23:45

Shamelessly place marking!!

VenusTiger · 22/10/2019 23:48

Did you tell the man on the phone that you’d call him again to see if he might figure this out later on OP?

DrinkSangriaInThePark · 22/10/2019 23:49

What do you mean by stuck on numbers? Stuck on individually or as a full number?

JeffreyJefferson · 22/10/2019 23:50

weird

SleepwalkingThroughLife · 22/10/2019 23:53

Numbers stuck on like a ransom note style?

katkit · 22/10/2019 23:56

placemarking the hell out of this.

Bouledeneige · 22/10/2019 23:57

OP this sounds interesting!

Can we see the ring and the stuck on numbers (not the whole number)?

DobbyHP · 22/10/2019 23:58

That's super freaky 😯

popNlock · 23/10/2019 00:03

Cover the last two numbers with something,dying to see this!

Nefelibata86 · 23/10/2019 00:03

Once had something similar and it turned out to be winnings on a scratch card from ages before. Was a Celtic style ring

tensmum1964 · 23/10/2019 00:14

Intriguing. Don't know how to place mark so.following. Smile

covetingthepreciousthings · 23/10/2019 06:54

I don't know how to block parts of it out as obviously a full number would not be appropriate to post.

You could put some paper over just the last 2-3 digits, or a hand?

covetingthepreciousthings · 23/10/2019 06:55

I don't know how to block parts of it out as obviously a full number would not be appropriate to post.

Or just take a photo zoomed in of 3-4 of the numbers?
I think posters are just wanted to see what kind of stuck on numbers they are.

namechangenumber2 · 23/10/2019 07:04

Ooh this is intriguing! Could it be an ex?

Tohavefarted · 23/10/2019 07:08

Have you recently moved in?

Not recently moved in.
Wouldn't be from an ex.
Can only think it's a prank. The guy did say he had recently separated so most likely down to that. Maybe his ex posted a ring back randomly when she was drunk or something, doesn't really explain the stuck on numbers but must be related to her.

Do you have DCs??

My own DD got one very like this when she was 8, only the ring was a Haribo ring & the serial killer style secret note also said to meet for a coffee at a local cafe,, with phone number.

Turned out to be from a lad in the year below her who thought he'd get in before the perceived valentine rush bless him, his serial killer note still makes me laugh today 😂

JorisBonson · 23/10/2019 10:55

Please can we see a picture? I am into this.

ShawshanksRedemption · 23/10/2019 11:44

Is the number a premium rate number?

penisbeakers · 23/10/2019 11:55

PHOTO REQUIRED

cover the last couple of digits with a coin or something

WhenISnappedAndFarted · 23/10/2019 11:55

Did you describe the ring to him? Surely he'd know if it was his ex's
