Diamonds, Sapphires and Pearls Given Away!
Diamonds, sapphires and pearls are being placed in paper bags in several towns near WYCKOFF, N.J-- and whoever finds the bags gets to keep them.
"That's outrageous! That's incredible that somebody would do something like that, especially with the times today," David Steensma of Ridgewood Parks and Recreation said.

Free Pearls to BobCat Employees
Two days before Christmas, the Bobcat company is closing its Bismarck plant, throwing hundreds of people out of work. While many people and organizations will step forward to help, there`s a business that`s doing something unusual to bring a little merriment. Zorell Owner Tim Ell says not a day goes by that someone doesn`t walk into his store with a smile. He says he just can`t wait to see the smiles he`s about to put on the faces of those who need one.
"It`s just something that was really on our hearts and we wanted to do something for them, it`s no strings attached, we just wanted to give them a Zorell`s box under their tree for Christmas," says Ell.
Just before Christmas day, 475 Bobcat employees will lose their jobs. So for Christmas, Zorell`s will give each of those 475 employees a free pearl necklace, each with a retail value of $200.
