Overview

• Paul Cass realized hours after tossing an old carry-on on Tuesday that his wedding ring was still inside a box in the bag.
• He drove to Waste Management’s Palmdale facility and alerted staff, prompting what the company called an “all hands on deck” search.
• Workers pinpointed the collection route to a Carson sorting site and identified truck 108199 before it moved on toward a landfill.
• As the truck was unloaded, Cass recognized his bag, crews pulled it out, and he recovered the ring.
• Cass later recounted the episode to KTLA, the city’s mayor pro tem praised the workers’ effort, and Cass said he plans to donate the old luggage.
