Lost Olympic ring sold to Atlanta jeweler

ATLANTA, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Maya Moore's lost Olympic ring turned up as stolen property in Atlanta, when a person was arrested after selling it to a jeweler, a police report says.

Moore, of the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx, received the ring after the United States' gold-medal performance in basketball at the London Olympics, but a package containing the ring was reported missing last fall from her Georgia home, police said.
