CAMUS, Wash., Nov. 5 (UPI) -- A Washington state woman said she is offering a reward for the return of a diamond ring she accidentally dropped into a trick-or-treater's bag.

Joan Collins of Camus said she remembered the 2-karat diamond ring getting caught on a plastic pumpkin being carried by a young girl, one of the about 300 trick-or-treaters who visited her home Halloween evening, KPTV, Portland, Ore., reported Thursday.

"It snagged, but I didn't feel it come off," she said. "The next day, I said, 'Oh, I don't have my ring on.' I started thinking back and the only thing I could think of was that little girl's plastic pumpkin."

Collins said she did not recognize the girl, a 2-to-3-year-old wearing a green costume, or her mother. She said the pair came to the door at about 7 p.m.

She said she realized the ring, which she has rarely removed in 20 years, was missing the next day. Collins said she is offering an unspecified reward for the ring's return.
