| The police chief for Germantown, Wisconsin, Peter Hoell, said 
				on a posting on the department's Facebook page on Saturday that 
				the ring appeared to have been put on the tree deliberately. 
				Police had the ring examined and the diamonds are real, he said.
 "If anyone can shed a little light on this mystery, I would 
				appreciate it," he said, adding that the ring is being kept in a 
				safe place.
 
 Hoell said anyone wanting to claim the ring would need to give a 
				detailed description. A picture of the owner wearing it would be 
				even better, he said.
 
 Germantown is about 15 miles (24 km) northwest of Milwaukee.
