If it was me I would try to trace the owner does not matter how long you owned the car but that's just me I'm a bit of a softie....
I'm actually kind of happy to see that somebody said this. I'm always reading stories of people who have the "born detective" puzzle-solver thing in their blood, and do all kinds of clever research to track down the person who lost the ring, and it half the time turns out to be someone way across the country and they end up friends for life. I realize that that sort of detective work isn't for everybody, but people do tend to assume that it costs money when usually all it takes is a bit of perseverance.
