A woman believes she has found someone's lost ashes on the street.
Laura Lamont had gone to report a car crash to cops when she noticed a very unusual ring near the police station last month.
The 40-year-old, from Larkhall, recognised the piece of jewellery as a sentimental piece that loved ones can keep ashes in.
She is now hoping to track down the owner and fears someone could be really missing it.

Laura said: “Hopefully I can find the owner, I’m surprised no one has claimed it yet.
"I actually only went to the police station to report someone crashing into my car.
“That’s when I found the station closed and the ring was just sitting there.
“It’s definitely ashes as I’ve seen the website, and it says ashes on the side.
“They post people’s stories that they receive. It's actually quite nice.”
Ashes can be put into jewellery as a way to remember a loved one who has passed away.
They can come in many different shapes and have become a popular memorial tribute in recent years.
Laura believes this piece came from a company called Ashes Into Glass, as she believes it looks similar to their other designs.
It is a gold ring with a dark stone and is engraved with the word “ashes” on the band.
Laura made the discovery on Tuesday, November 5 near Larkhall police station.
She has held onto it after being unable to hand it into them herself as the reception was closed.
Laura said: “There’s still no word from anyone that’s lost the ring, hopefully someone will claim it soon.
“It seems weird no one has come forward, I wonder if it was lost on the train and not someone from Larkhall.
“I presume the person that found the find somewhere had gone to the police station to hand the ring in.
“I still have it in my possession because for some reason the police station is closed to the public”.
