A homeless man has returned an engagement ring worth thousands of dollars to a woman after she accidentally dropped it in his change cup.
Billy Ray Harris was sitting on The Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri on Friday when Sarah Darling walked past and gave him what she thought was a handful of change.
Nearly an hour after she walked off, Harris checked his cup and found the large platinum and diamond ring inside.

Darling said that she had taken off the ring and placed it in her purse after it was bothering her, and had no idea she had dropped it in Harris' cup.
The next day she returned to the spot where she had met Harris and squatted down next to him to ask if she had left something valuable with him.
He immediately handed the ring back to its owner.

Harris said he was simply acting in accordance with how he was brought up by his reverend grandfather. The man raised him from the age of six months.
'Thank the good Lord, it's a blessing, but I do still have some character,' he told KCTV5.
