Police Ask for Help Finding the One Ring's Rightful Owner

Are you missing a beautiful ring with Elvish words inscribed into the inside and outside? It's absolutely precious. Once you hold it, you never really want to let it go.

That's why police in North Yorkshire, UK are thoughtfully seeking out the owner, who no doubt dearly misses it. BBC News reports:

North Yorkshire Police seemed unaware of the JRR Tolkien connection when they shared photos of the "distinctive silver ring" on Facebook. [...]
Facebook users responded telling police they needed to follow in the footsteps of Frodo Baggins and destroy the ring.
"The ring was made in the fires of Mount Doom, only there can it be unmade," one Facebook user said.
"The ring must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came. One of you must do this."

Nonsense! The ring is the property of Lord Sauron, who will no doubt handsomely reward anyone who ensures its return to him.

A translation of the inscription may help:
"This ring, no other, is made by the Elves Who'd pawn their own mother to get it themselves.Ruler of creeper, mortal and scallop, This is a sleeper that packs quite a wallop. If broken or busted it cannot be remade. If found, send to Sorhed. (The postage is prepaid.)"
