The expensive engraved jewelry was stolen from a motel room in Boyle, Alta., where the gold-medal winning skip was taking part in a charity golf tournament last weekend.
RCMP Cpl. John Spaans says Jacobs wasn’t holding out much hope that the ring would be found.
That made him all the more pleased when an officer called to tell him the ring had been found in the attic of a house.
