Lost diamond found in vacuum bags

Buffalo Grove police say a woman who lost a large diamond earring found it a day later by combing through a cleaning crew's vacuum bags.

Buffalo Grove Police Cmdr. Steve Husak says a 60-year-old Hoffman Estates woman reported the 2-carat diamond earring lost Sunday. He says she believed she lost it in the Buffalo Grove High School auditorium during an event the night before.

Officers searched the school unsuccessfully. They suggested the woman examine the contents of the cleaning crew's vacuum bags.

Husak says the woman took the bags home and, after a search, found the earring.
