JUPITER, FL – Sharon Beck went through her usual tanning routine, taking off her jewelry, putting it in her purse.
She thought nothing of it until hours later when she realized, her Tiffany diamond solitaire necklace worth four thousand dollars was gone.
She called the tanning salon, “Let’s Tan” in Jupiter’s Abacoa community.
They looked inside and out, but found nothing.
That was in April.
As the weeks passed, Beck lost hope that it would ever be found.
She thought to herself, “If I do good things for other people, maybe someone will find it.”
But she says that was positive thinking she had trouble believing.
Then she says karma kicked in.
Three months after disappearing, her necklace was found Monday.
A woman named Donna says the light hit the necklace just right as she looked down in the parking lot in front of Let’s Tan.
From the ground, it caught her eye.
She picked it up and turned it in to the tanning salon, never thinking of keeping it.
She says she knew the owner was probably panic stricken looking for it.
She knows, because she was in the same position one month ago.
Donna lost a diamond in a store and someone turned it in.
She says she was, in a way, just returning the favor.
Beck explains that kindness and selflessness renews her faith in people and makes her want to continue “paying it forward.”
