ponch and john save halloween
sometimes, life imitates art. and sometimes, life imitates CHiPs.
something in this article about a lady in massachusetts who lost her engagement ring while handing out halloween candy rang a bell with me. then i remembered: October 21, 1978. i was 5 (and - depending on whether you believe her - kristin wasn't even born yet), but i still somehow remember CHiPs episode #206: "Trick or Trick". Ponch and John are dealing with a series of candy muggings - some crazed woman keeps stealing trick-or-treat bags from little kids. turns out she had lost her engagement ring while handing out candy and was desperate to get it back. i won't spoil the ending of the CHiPs episode for you, but the lady in massachusetts was reunited with her ring in the end. i just love a good coincidence.
