I saw this on the news. Wonder if the guy is regretting his actions now?
When my sister got divorced, she considered her wedding ring bad karma. Instead of selling it to pay off some debt, she THREW it into the ocean (off the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State). I couldn't believe it. But, she really felt that strongly about not passing the ring on to someone else and jinxing their marriage. (IMO the jinx was her heroin/alcohol addicted husband).
