A New Jersey police officer spent his free time to find a woman’s engagement ring that she lost while she was changing her tire.
Kimberly Garcia’s car developed a flat tire as she was traveling down Route 4 on Sunday.
Instead of calling AAA, the 27-year-old changed her own tire, but in the process she lost her diamond ring.

It wasn’t until she returned home that she realized that her ring was missing and called the Paramus Police Department to file a report.
She went back to area to conduct her own search in the meantime, but she still didn’t find the ring.
Officers from the department also did an initial search of the area, but they were unable to find the ring.
But one officer was determined to find Garcia’s precious symbol of love.
The next day, Officer Jon Henderson, went out on his free time to search for the ring.
He scoured the area where Garcia had pulled over and was able to locate the ring in the road and return it to the excited bride-to-be.
The department posted a photo on Facebook of Officer Henderson and Garcia, who showed off her ring on her finger. ‘The Paramus Police Department is ecstatic that Officer Jon Henderson was able to recover the lost engagement ring of Kimberly Garcia,’ police wrote
