NEW YORK—A trans-Atlantic love affair has sprouted between a once anonymous English couple who lost an engagement ring down a Times Square utility grate, returning home thinking it was gone forever, and the New York City police officers who found it in the muck 8 feet under.
“I cannot thank you enough, although I will try,” Englishman John Drennan said in a tweet directed at the New York police on Dec. 2. “A few cold beers when we come back to NYC! We are completely overwhelmed and you will definitely get a mention at our wedding!”
