A man, looking for an unusual way to propose to his girlfriend, asked a florist to put a £6,000 diamond ring in a helium balloon, but as soon as he left the shop, a gust of wind blew away the balloons.
Keeping his prize in sight, Mr Hajji, from Hackney, London, pursued the balloons for two hours in his car across London before giving them up as lost.
He told the Sun newspaper: "I couldn’t believe it. I just watched as it went further and further into the air.
"I felt like such a plonker. It cost a fortune and I knew my girlfriend would kill me."
So clever!
