(Candy-Diamond Ring)
One Massachusetts woman was a lot more generous to Halloween trick-or-treaters than she intended to be.
Seven-year-old Hunter Campbell's candy haul included a 14-carat diamond engagement ring.
The ring slipped off a newlywed's finger as she doled out the treats in Natick (NAY'-tik), a town west of Boston.
She'd just had the ring re-sized and it was a little bigger than normal.
The woman (Paulie Andreosatos-Gavin) spent a panicked evening looking for the ring before calling police.
Luckily for her, the boy's parents turned in the ring as soon as they spotted it among the candy.
The new bride says she's sending the trick-or-treater a reward.

Forgive some women for being a tad bit miffed when the hunky men who had offered to drive them to polling stations arrived.
After all, the men were fully clothed.
The plan called for the men of Long Tom Grange -- Oregon's best known nudie calendar -- to offer voters a free limo ride to ballot drop-off sites.
The men made headlines last year when they bared all for a calendar benefiting local schools.
Linda Roberts was surprised when 66-year-old rancher John Lopes greeted her in jeans and a cowboy shirt.
As Mr. May in the group's 2005 calendar, he wore only his belt and boots astride his horse.
The group had considered going topless.
But Lopes says ``hey, it's too cold.''

OTTAWA -- A reckless act of public indecency? Or an indiscreet moment in the privacy of one's home?
The Supreme Court reserved judgment today in the case of a B-C man caught masturbating in his brightly lit living room window.
Daryl Clark of Nanaimo is appealing his conviction on the grounds that it effectively rewrites the Criminal Code to make his home a public place.
The Crown argues that Clark's recklessness offered an `explicit invitation' to the public to watch.
The high court reserved judgment, but not before the nine justices asked the Crown some tough questions.
They included why Clark's neighbours, the complainants in the case, watched him from a darkened bedroom with binoculars, telescope and video camera.

SPACE STATION ALPHA -- One American voter has gone through years of preparation and one very bumpy ride to get to his polling place -- but at least he managed to avoid the lines.
Astronaut Leroy Chiao (CHOW) voted from on board the International Space Station over the weekend.
The galactic balloting was possible thanks to a special arrangement with the election board where Chiao lives in Texas.
They set up a secure e-mail link so the country's only outer-space voter could send in his choices secretly.
Chiao says he spent the weekend thinking about his options and then Sunday he made his choice and pushed the ``send'' button.
He calls that a ``neat'' moment, saying it shows that truly every vote can count -- even from more than 360 kilometres above Earth.

Brosnan said several actors could ably fill his shoes as James Bond, which he played four times from 1995 to 2002, but "I'll give it to Colin Farrell. He'll eat the head off them all" said Brosnan following an entertainment awards ceremony Saturday in Dublin.
The 28-year-old Farrell has the title role in Oliver Stone's upcoming "Alexander". Brosnan didn't specify any other actors that he thought would make a good 007.
Brosnan also said he was discussing a possible collaboration with director Quentin Tarantino, who is considering making a film of the Bond novel "Casino Royale" - "We have discussed things, Quentin and I, but I don't know if it's going to be that particular project."
