And so, my only thought is that it went into one of the kids trick-or-treat bags,\u201d Maddie Carver told Pittsburgh\u2019s Action News 4. Carver and her husband, Ryan Quiggle, handed out candy at their home on Larkins Way near South 27th Street. They signed up to be on the South Side Kids Halloween route. She guessed around 100 trick-or-treaters stopped by that night. \u201cI was picking up big piles of candy out of our candy basket and throwing it kind of playfully into the kids trick-or-treat bags because they were so cute. We were having so much fun,\u201d said Carver, who suspects the ring was fitting loose because of the cold weather. The fun ended in tears for Carver at the realization that the ring was gone. Up until last Friday, it\u2019s been sitting on her finger since December 2011, when she got engaged to her husband. \u201cI spent years and years on dating apps trying to find the love of my life and finally did and he proposed, and it was one of the best days of my whole life,\u201d Carver said. \u201cAnd you know that ring has so much sentimental value, even more than the monetary value; the sentimental value is worth more than anything.\u201dThe couple has posted on Facebook, contacted police, and even called local schools, but so far, no luck. They are offering a monetary award for the ring\u2019s safe return. \u201cIf you were trick-or-treating by our house that night, please check your kids\u2019 bags. I would be so, so grateful. It would make my whole year,\u201d Carver said.Carver can be reached at 724-612-3212 or Maddcar@icloud.com.
