I once left a ring on top of a bookcase at an in-call in Victoria. It was in a controlled-access apartment buidling. I realized about 15 minutes after I left the in-call that I had left the ring. I knew exactly where I had left it and so I immediately returned and buzzed the apartment. No answer. I kept buzzing every three minutes or so for about 15 minutes. Finally, someone was coming out and I was able to get into the building.
I proceeded to the apartment door and knocked several times. Finally the door was opened by a completely different girl then the one that I saw. I explained what I wanted, blocking the door with my foot so that she couldn't close the door. I told her exactly where I had left the ring. She came back within 15 seconds and handed me the ring, and commented "Not cool, man!" It was only when I told her what the ring was worth ($1000 puzzle ring I bought in Syria - of course I didn't pay $1000 for it at the time, only about $140 US) that she nodded that she understood.
I have been VERY careful since that time in making sure that when I remove jewellery (watch and ring) that I always put them in my left pants pocket.
