(Newser) – An Austrian who found Bianca Jagger's lost $250,000 ring is suing her for his reward, AFP reports. Reinhard Ringler says he picked up the ring in Salzburg last month and gave it to police days later. But Mick Jagger's ex refused to give him a standard reward—5% of the ring's value—claiming he dallied in returning it. Ringler filed suit today after negotiations with Jagger broke down.

Wow, no class; all the way around. Guy finds woman's ring. Nice of him. Woman refuses to give a reward to him for finding her ring. Man sues her. Question: since when is it illegal to NOT give a reward for lost property? The only person with less class than Ms. Jagger is Mr. Ringler.

Question, did you READ the article? It IS the law, in Austria, to pay a 5% reward for the return of loss valuables. He returned it within 8 days of finding it, but somehow Bianca thinks he waited too long to return it. Odd. Usually, she usually shows more class
