Text Box: On February 26th I was down at Laguna Beach cruising the shoreline with my PI when a man came up to me and asked if I could help him find a lost ring. He said he lost it earlier in the day and wasn't sure where. After searching down near the water with no luck he wanted to re-trace his steps and me to follow. He would walk about 10 to 15 yards stop to wait for me to catch up. It took a while and I think he was impatient but I was being slowly careful not to miss it. He zig zagged around the beach and eventually through the volleyball court where he said he played earlier in the day. I asked him what kind of ring and he said it was a class ring from the University of Tennessee. I followed him. Every place he thought it to be, it wasn't. I told him that most lost items that I have found for people giving me directions are never where they think they are. They usually point out an area about 8 feet square and when I finally find the item it is away from there and told him not to worry, we would find it. 
Following his path again and again through the volleyball court I got a huge signal and when I scooped I could feel the clunk and I knew before I saw, it was his ring. There it was, a very large gold ring and surrounding the black square onyx stone was the letters "University of Tennessee". He asked how much he owed me and I shook my head and said "nothing". He leaped at me and gave me an honest to gosh unexpected bear hug and when he set me down, I could see that he was one happy guy. The girl he was with was just as happy and when I walked away, I was one happy guy too.

Text Box: Dear Bruce and Dale, 
It has been brought to my attention that last Thursday you assisted Whittier police officers in locating a discarded loaded handgun. As you probably know the gun had been thrown out of a vehicle by a fleeing felon. The gun posed a tremendous threat to public safety and it was absolutely necessary that we find the gun. 
You willingly assisted the officers by responding to our request for help and you located the gun using your personal metal detectors. It is my understanding the officers would probably not have found the gun without your assistance. 
Your son George assisted with this case and you should be proud of your family's effort. Whittier is lucky to have residents like you. 
Sincerely,
David Singer,
Chief of Police
