When Chelsea Hostetter saw shattered glass next to her car on Wednesday as she walked to her car after work she knew exactly what was taken.
"I started crying and called the police and realized they [thieves] had taken my workout bag, and [ I ] just got done working out so [I had] my ring was in the bag," Hostetter said.
Her car was parked at 36th and Troll Avenue just steps away from the iconic Fremont Troll.
The ring was inside a black and gray Lululemon gym bag she left in the front passenger side of her car after a workout.
"I don't care about workout clothes. I care about that ring," Hostetter said.
Inside a small pocket of that bag was the ring with five diamonds set in white gold.
"It was priceless. It was my uncle's mother's diamonds from Germany every time she'd go back to Germany she'd add another diamond to this ring," Hostetter said.
Hostetter and her fiance used those diamonds and reset it, to use it as an engagement and wedding ring.
"It feels weird not to have it on my hand anymore," Hostetter said.
Neighbors told us since the area always has so much traffic, it's unusual that a thief would be so brazen as to target the car around so many people.
"Seems a little uncharacteristic of the neighborhood," said Micah Zylstra, who lives nearby, adding it "seems like a pretty good neighborhood for the most part."
With nine days left until her wedding in Portland, Hostetter is now searching for her ring on top of putting the finishing touches on wedding plans.
"I've been constantly searching Craigslist and called a few pawn shops but haven't heard back," she said.
She's hoping someone will see this unique setting, make sure her wedding day stays the way she hoped it would be.
"If they bring it back or if somebody sees it at a pawn shop or on Craigslist I would love to have it back. It would make my world," Hostetter said.
Seattle police say detectives are checking with pawn shops to see if the ring was sold. If the ring was brought to a pawnshop, detectives are hoping the person who sold it is caught on surveillance video.
