Displaced diamonds found by good samaritan and returned.

VANCOUVER - A Vancouver diamond dealer who dropped his gems on a busy street has recovered the jewels - and maybe his faith in humanity.

The dealer lost a wallet full of $100,000-worth of diamonds last week. He put out an appeal through police offering a $10,000 reward for the return of the uninsured jewels.

Police say the diamond merchant called them Wednesday to say he was contacted by a lawyer whose client had found the diamonds.

"He was contacted by a Vancouver lawyer who had a client that returned most of the missing diamonds to him this morning," Vancouver police said in a statement Wednesday.

They say the reward on offer from the merchant was paid out.
