Kicker: Lost in the dough

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Well, it’s been a while, but folks in Leavenworth, Kansas who bought cookies at a local bakery are advised to bite down softly.

That’s because on April 5th the owner of Sis Sweets Cookies and Cafe Sis Monroe thinks she lost something valuable in one of them.

Sound from KMBC nine news:

SIS MONROE: It's 36 years on this hand! I look down at my hand and the center diamond is gone.

The big marquis diamond from her wedding ring that her husband gave her. Gone.

MONROE: I was crying and all he could say is, “You still have me.” So, that made it all better.

Good man! And in case you’re wondering, the shop goes through more than a hundred thousand rubber gloves a year. But things happen. Sis hopes if someone does find it, he or she brings it back. She says she’d make it worth your while!

LINDSAY MAST, HOST: Makes sense–A diamond is worth a lot of dough.

REICHARD: It’s The World and Everything in It.
